Dedicated Server
« on: July 01, 2012, 02:31:02 pm »
I went online and I can't see any server... I clicked on the "Allow Access" button but still can't see anything. If someone could show me how to open any port necessary or do anything else that need be to see the server (assuming there is one dedicated server I'd appreciate that.

Is there a community run dedicated server for UFO AI?

Welcome to the forums. We still don't have many multiplayer players, so there is rarely a server up. But you can easily create your own and allow others to join. There's no dedicated server that's always up.

What would it take / require to have a dedicated ufoai-server? I have a Debian server that could be used for this, and is willing to at least try, if that's something the community would want.

I think that's all that is needed. Mattn has run a semi-dedicated server at times. I don't know if we have enough players to justify it, but it would be nice to have for those users who are not used to games where you make your own server.

more servers would be cool - but the problem is that it's not easy for players to connect to a server and wait for someone else.
