Local Server Search

[nickunknown]

Hi, i'm new on this stufs, but i want to know how is it possible, if i creat a Local server, search local games.
Is it possible to change something when i click on Search List of Games???!!

A quick way to detect local games would be to do a portscan on the LAN, on LFS' default port. Other than that, LFS does not announce itself. Doing this on some LAN's maybe a very bad idea - its all down to how restricted and security concious the system administrators are.

What do you mean by "change something".....?

i mean change in programming. I realy don't know.
The ideia is creat a host on a server and then the users search for it and click "display list of games". like we do on master server from LSF when playing online.
I have a big Intranet and the way we use now is "join a specific game".

thanks

I'll add it to the suggestions forum for you. Other than my suggestion for writing a little external app to portscan the whole LAN, I'm out of ideas I'm afraid. Unless Scawen most how makes them advertise themselves in a netbios-like way. Unfortunately doing this can cause problems as advertising doesnt go over routers well - especially in big LAN's...
