Backup serverlist mod

Asraniel

Since valve had some big problems with the master serverlist, i made a mod, that lets you use a backup serverlist.

here is the modified lua file:

www.fryx.ch/Asraniel/ServerBrowser.lua

Mendasp was so kind to create and host the backup serverlist.

To use the backupserverlist, you need to press the refresh button in the serverbrowser. The backup list will be downloaded, if no servers where found trough the master server AND you press the refresh button.

thanks for this! I will try it. Does it also work with the non-flash menumod?

edit: Where to put the lua file?

Asraniel

You can replace the lua file in the natural selection / ns2 / lua folder.

I don't know if it works with the non flash ui menu mod. But it would probably be easy to make it work with it.

Thank you very much! IT seems to work with the menumod!

The menumod just updated adding similar functionality, it caches your own queries (instead of using a list on a website), so you need to use it prior to a Master Server failure. In fact, I think it uses its own querying and not what the game uses, so installing this mod on top of the menumod will probably do nothing.

Also, I just uploaded it to <a href="http://www.duplexgaming.co.uk/downloads/mods/91/backup_server_list/" target="_blank">Duplexgaming.co.uk</a>, too.
