Suggestion of new community built Online MP lobby
Am toying with building a new MP matching lobby with the community. (i suppose comparable but better in many ways to the competition of Hyperlobby, UBI lobby, ASE etc.) but built for IL2 only with features purely used for IL2, such as Squadron chat, room chat prior to launch, Tournament rooms, as much info from servers as possible being made available.
Aiming to be the place where everyone goes because they like it, rather than have a divided community.
I was thinking of using C#.NET 3.5 Winforms GUI.
Budgeting for server rental to host it hasnt been thought about. I have no idea what game matching interface may be included in IL2:CoD. Only thing i can think of re funding would be paypal donations.
Anyone have any thoughts? or interested in joining in with theyre expertise, or have suggestions?
This is just something i have the technical experience to do for the most part, however, it depends if its welcomed as to whether i bother. I for one though would appreciate a better game matching interface to go with our great new Il2.
Cant help feeling im opening a rather large can of worms by posting this, im putting the feelers out, not committing yet.
