[Fixed] GAE should not bind to TCP port 61357 when entering the 'New Game' menu

[tomreyn]

When you enter the 'New Game' menu but have already something else bound to the 61357 TCP port, GAE bails out with an error:

Code Select Expand


Socket Error in : bind() [Error code: 98]
Address already in use


While the 'New Game' menu can be used to start a network game, it does not do so by default (the default seems to be a local human vs AI game), so it should not expect to be able to bind to this port. In fact, it should not do any socket operations until  the user actually opens a network player slot.

Thanks, I've always had this problem! I thought it was something else before.

There was a ini setting for server port too, it wasn't 'hooked up' at all, not sure why, maybe got wiped during the network revert...  Anyway, is used now.
