You are right Hyper. I forgot about it (geting list of servers)

I set the next step: With help of the users at gathering.tweakers.net I found a tool to limit the CPU usage of UCC.exe. The master server works well with only 2 to 5% cpu usage on a modern CPU (depending on CPU speed)

I'll be running a semi-permanent master server (permanent minus some downtime for reconfiguring) and I created (=! programmed) the first general release package. Details @ http://www.hypercoop.tk

More information can be found in the included manual. (Readme.txt in the master folder)

I can't read readme.txt and view anything placed into package because you made it exe

In addition nobody likes do download exe files. Mail filters delete such attachments.
Publishing EXE files is very BAD IDEA.

Publish zip archives instead.

Look at this line in your Unreal.ini. It tells it all:

ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal

No it doesn't.

If you look into your Unreal server logs, you will see something like this whenever a player leaves:

NetComeGo: Close TcpipConnection0 01/02/05 15:59:22

although in reality there are no TCP connections used, but UDP. So, just because it is WRITTEN somewhere it is so and so means jack shit!

And I concur with Alice about distributing exe files only, I never download map packs distributed as exes either. If you want to do people a favor who are too stupid to use zip and copy files then keep exes but put in a normal download too

I might have known.

Well, it's a self-extracting zip file. But for everyone who does not like this I also made a normal zip file.
