Xfire

[kamahl]

Xfire is a game tracker/IM/lobby client.  I would please ask all users to add a game request for Xfire to support glest.
Just bump this thread please!

Not possible, XFire would need a way to start glest programatically which means dragging up a taboo subject which the official developers deem flamebait.

[kamahl]

Xfire drops you into game using the game's Command Line options...  IT shouldn't be hard at all to set up -serverIP and -ServerPort options...  That's all Xfire requires, it's not something that says "We support XFire", it's something that should be there anyway.

Indeed, I have been asking for official support for such a command line parameter too for my own lobby.

I've changed the link, to add a new one with screenshots and more information.

[kamahl]

Thanks.

Last screenshot looks kinda fake...  :P

[kamahl]

Thankyou to the developers for a nice CLI launcher :P

[martiño]

I think some kind of key must be already there, since Glest gets added to the Add/Remove programs windows menu...

[kamahl]

Found it :D
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Glest_is1\InstallLocation

Kinda icky though.  Can we have something like HKLM\Software\Glest\Install_path as well?

[martiño]

Well we could have another key, but it would contain the same information...

[kamahl]

yes, but I don't one that relies upon installshield staying the same.  I'd much rather one dictated by the glest team.

[martiño]

Okay, we will do that for the next version.

I spoke with the xfire supporter.It should get supported in 2weeks (next game update)if not then at the beginning of the next month :)

[kamahl]

Thankyou Masacru! :D

[MasacruTheArcher]

No problem :) Anything for Glest.After it gets supported we should create a guild on xfire.So we're going to know when someone who play Glest is online et cetera.

[kamahl]

Feel free to make it.  my xfire id is 'yeoldesteve'

[MasacruTheArcher]

Alright , glest should be in the today's update :D

edit :i think i was wrong ,the update is going to be today.I thought it will be yesterday.

[martiño]

Glest is now supported!

Mission Complete.I told you that it will get supported :)

By the way : the game was added in the games section on the site.But it will be added to xfire , today in the temporarily update.So we'll be able to detect it .I also hope it has in game chat.WE'll be able to take screenshots if it has.

[wciow]

Well I just started up Xfire (first time in ages) and downloaded the update. Glest is not detected or on the available games list  :confused:  Maybe it will take a few more days to be supported?

[MasacruTheArcher]

Glest is supported.If the update's status is DONE (at files) then it's ready.Just restart xfire .It's in the UNINSTALLED games list.Actually if you installed the game by default , it should auto-detect it :)
