Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv7612/resources/docs Modified Files: hints.dat Log Message: hints.dat; updated with new hints regarding changes to close windows and det circle functionality data.c: addition of 3rd metaserver to client. This new metaserver entry is a static DNS that is currently pointing to the IP address of metaserver2.us.netrek.org, but can be changed if needed to point to a non *.netrek.org metaserver, providing a failsafe in case of critical loss of metaserver facilities. The DNS entry is currently controlled by the client author (Bill Balcerski). Multiple minor changes in parsemeta.c, such as formalizing a value for MAX_SERVERS, removing an unneeded variable in a sscanf call in parseInput(). parsemeta.c (version_r()): Handle the new server entry case before the old server entry case, to mimic how other functions are written. parsemeta.c (SaveMetasCache): Rewritten to save data as text rather than a binary file. parsemeta.c (LoadMetasCache): Rerwritten to load the new text cache file into a buffer, and parse the data, making sure to check for invalid entries. parsemeta.c (metasort): New function that sorts servers by status and player count, in the case of the UDP metaserver, as server order in the server list array may need to be changed as servers gain or lose players. Called upon metawindow creation, and any time the user requests a server refresh.
