hi,

I went away and thought of another idea instead of favourites list. What about a Lan server host list, were you can view which hosts are being hosted on your lan ( a list of servers. )

Who thinks we should have this idea ?

On what machine should this list of hosts be maintained? It has to be on a local machine, because the connection to the central LFS server could be blocked by a proxy.

An alternative solution is to maintain a page on a local web server. the page can contain links to the hosts. (You will need to have Join2LFS installed, though. And I'm not quite sure if it will work for local hosts.)

There is no need for a server that holds a list. It's just that the player who wants to list the lans ervers broadcasts to the lan "tell me if you are a lfs server" and any pc running a lfs server would reply just like many other games...
