What is in future - January 8, 2021

Happy New Year everyone.

After a week of work I completed a new method for querying the Swat 3 game server and I think in most ways it is a vast improvement over the old method.   When we moved to the new webhost I ran into a big problem considering the new host didn't allow tcp/ip communication.   I assume the server's firewall is the issue.    I had to get creative due to this limitation so I created a new application that runs on the same computer as the Swat 3 server.   It only sends an update once every ten minutes for now but once I get an idea of the impact on the website I may change the update time.

Next thing on my agenda is to spend time making a webpage to explain the whole NeuWon/Swat 3 situation.   I need to explain the whole process for getting your Swat 3 to work with NeuWon so people can play online like the old days.   I need to make is easier for people to understand since the NeuWon website is confusing as hell (and buggy).

After that I need to get back to local testing of the beta release of the Last Resort mod that I published on Christmas day.    I have not received any feedback from the public on the beta and I can understand why.  I basically disappeared for more than 6 months and many people gave up visiting this website.     Most people just want the final release I suspect.
