How it works:

As the player executes the application Play.exe, it will read the 'newversion' key under the 'Updates' section of the versions.ini file. The application will then re-compile the client's CIDserver.dat and server.dat files with the new IP that was retreived in the versions.ini file.

To keep the client updated with your IP, you must edit the 'newversion' key under the 'Updates' header of yout versions.ini to your latest IP.

It's pretty simple method but the problem is the hassle of changing the IP in your versions.ini so what I will do is develop the application further more to enhance it's ability of use. Unfortunately, it will only work with ProSource Client, or any client that has the same CIDserver.dat and server.dat file structure with ProSource.

Further developments are listed below.

Development:

Automatic IP updater (Server-side)
Custom background feature
Custom version.ini check url
Automatic IP changer for versions.ini
ServerName edit @ versions.ini

How to use (Instruction for servers)
