DomsNetPack

DomsNetPack is based on a 3rd party networking lib. On top of it, a Client-Server architecture is brought to Virtools. It allows sending and receiving any message with any data, reliable (TCP) or non-reliable (UDP). It's like using Virtools messages.

Other features are: easy conection setup, ping, synced time, max allowed connections, allowance to connect only for certain players, IP retrieval and kicking.

In addition to that, a fully IRC client is part of the plug-in. The plug-in consists of 3 managers and 35 building blocks.

Currently it is under heavy construction in order to add a game-lobby modus that is much more powerful that the currently 1 vs 1 matching mechanism that I implemented for Defender's Tournament.

I can't remember exactly when I started working on this, but I think it was late 2002 ! That's already quite a bit of time, and I am happy to see it maturing. :)

Thanks to all the people from the 3rd party lib - you helped a lot.
