Well, basically I'm creating an online game that uses a lobby system so that players can host their own servers. Unfortunately, I don't have MooGame (and it seems impossible for me to get it because 3EE died) so I can't use server-sided INI's, which would have worked wonderfully for this.
My questions are:
1)Is there any other way to get MooGame besides 3EE?
2)Is there any other way of creating the lobby system?
3)How could I find the IP of my own computer using MMF commands/extensions?

All help is greatly appreciated. Also, I have MMF 1.5 so I have MooClick and MooSock.

Isn't it available in Clickteam's extension list?

1) Not really, unless anyone is selling it to you (unlikely)
2) Of course, just connect to a central server as you would with MooGame, but you'll have to communicate with a webserver running some PHP scripts and saving information to a database or text file.
3) Use SSDL and download the page 'http://www.whatismyip.org/' - alternatively, download it using MooSock. There are examples of downloading files with MooSock on Clickteam's forums.

Well, I'm trying the PHP script idea and it seemed like a good idea, but I can't get MooSock to connect to my webserver. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've also tried having SSDL download it, but it can't get it either. The connection is the only thing I can't get to work, everything else is set up to work...

What ever happened to 3EE? If they are going to drop out like that, give out MOOGame & MOOClick commercially free! No sence keeping something that is not legally buyable anymore directly from the company selling it, to themselfs if loads of people still want it!

Agreed. I tried buying it a while ago and it never got sent, luckily I got my money back. But then, if you try to e-mail them, you get an e-mail back saying their inbox went over its quota... Very annoying.

This can take the extension out of a game that has it (I think the abandonware version of OSD-2 has it). However, it's illegal, so I guess it's up to you if you want to use it or not.

Moogame isn't really worth it, mooclick is just as good. It has pretty much the same features and you can host server\client apps better.

And now Jack comes in and goes into his useual debate with Andy, about the awesomness about MooGame, in comparison to MooClick, MooGames sending system is far supirior, to that of MooClick and has some better conditions, admitedly the best way to do it is to work them in conjunction, MooClick is best for Hosting Games, and MooGame is best for Playing as a Client... do what was said above rip MooGame out of another piece of software, its not the RunTime version, Id purcahse MooGames, but as you said 3EE is dead just like robotopia

RapidFlash: You won't be able to do that unless it's a TGF game (and then you'll only be able to use it in TGF)

I agree with Jack, you should use them in conjuction. But I'm sure we can all agree that you should not even go near moo2, even with a 100ft pole.

Well, I got my game to download the PHP script output etc, and parse the data from the SQL Database. Now I just need a way to post updates and new servers. Basically, whenever someone joins one of the games, it sends an update records request to the SQL Database and tells it to add one to the number of players. Also, I need to get a way to have it add a record in the database when someone creates their own server. Any ideas?
