Hello, this is razialx I have not posted in a while. For the past (almost) 2 years I have been programming a game based on the unreal engine. Its a mod for UT2003, but more like a total conversion. I am trying to bring elements of a FPS , an RTS and Strategy games like Risk all together. The overall development has gone great, i have a website at www.planetunreal.com/einmarsch/ I am planning on doing the next big part in the game. Instead of other Unreal games, where you connect to a server, play and leave, I want to code a ''Master'' game server. I have to think of how to articulate this. The game is going to be similar to PlanetSide, only by chance. I have never played PlanetSide, but from what i read , it has a similar design as my game. Anyway, Players have an account, and they log into the master server. There, they have a display, of all the people on their team (Humans''Apollo'' or aliens ''Thare''). There are 3 planets of territories. High ranking members of a team are able to start battles for territories controlled by the enemy. They are only able to attack adjacent territories. AAAAANYWAY.. The players connect, and then, when they choose to join a battle, they are routed to a game server. The game servers are anyones computer that sets up a ''dedicated submitted server''. Unlike a dedicated server, the dedicated submitted server has games delegated to it from the master server... I dont'' know if this is making sense. People will set their computers up as a slave of the master server. So that games will be played on it. After the games played, the results and current state of the map are sent to the main server, and it stores that info in a database for when the next battle on that territory starts. This would create a sense of ''Persistance'' in the world. My question is this: I know i could code this in a normal language(C++, Java, VB) but, are there any ''Server Side'' web languages that would be capable of handling this? ASP/PHP/PERL these are things i know nothing about. I am hoping that there is somehting i can write it in so that i could load it up to my webserver and have it run there no problem. Any help / ideas? Thanks
