Spring RTS Engine

Looks like the free subdomain springrts.game-host.org has expired. Is bibim the one to be pestered about this? Also if someone tells me the address it used to resolve to I could point one of my own at it, assuming the bridge itself is still running.

a bit off-topic... where is the source code of it? if its not online somewhere, the author of it should create a github project, please!

I don't think he ever published it.

if you connect by ip it still works... 82.236.136.190

Thanks abma

Great, thanks. And in a few hours ircbridge.xn--d-bga.su will point there.

Indeed the game-host subdomain expired while I was skiing in the Alps, and it seems this subdomain became a paid service meanwhile

The source code can be made available of course, I just need to clean a few platform-specific things here and there before.

By the way, maybe this service could be running on main spring server instead? We could set up a irc.springrts.com subdomain and I would get rid of this thing.

problem with the irc bridge is that you cannot ban nor ignore people on it...
EDIT: or am i confusing this with the Melbot echo thingy?

I think you are. The IRC bridge is just an alternate way to connect to the lobby server using an IRC client. It's not Melbot, which is a relay bot forwarding packets between IRC servers and the Spring lobby server.

that would be my idea as well. can you please ask Tim about that?

Source code is now available under GPLv3 license on GitHub.
The bridge should be available at irc.springrts.com:6667 and irc.springrts.com:16667 soon.
