Can you please update the protocol from Version 3 too? I do not like Version 4 very much, its not that easy to implement in my website as Version 3.

Please reply. Thanks in advanced.

v3 is no longer support and will receive no new updates.

What integration problems are you having ?

well there are no big problems at all to implement the script but its much more complicated now because i do not use php nuke or e107, so i have to use the standalone version and include it somehow.

But much more important: how can i add a whole list of new servers? in version three there was the file lgsl_servers.txt where i could easily paste new servers. now i have an admin interface where i only can put one server at once.

my site visitors still can't add their servers on their own... why the hell didn't put something for this in after four versions...

For me Version 4 is a backstep. I am sorry, but this is my personal opinion.

Here is where my thoughts are on this:

The majority of people using LGSL just have 1 or 2 servers on their site, and so I made that the design priority.

At no point have I ever said LGSL would allow visitors to add their own servers, and I can only remember one person ever mentioning wanting such a feature.

Now to sorting your problems:

- Do you use a CMS for your site or is it a html template ?

Integrating should actually be easier, you can either add your own header and footer code in the lgsl index.php

Or strip out the supplied header and footer, then load the lgsl index.php from within your own site ( which in turn loads the list or details )

- A db is now used instead of a text file, so any db tools can be used for adding entries.

What I can do is make an interface that lists the servers in the style of the old text file, which would allow you to paste and edit blocks of servers.

That would also allow for easier re-ordering of servers which someone else requested.

I am the webmaster from www.Private-Servers.info (.org / .net) i am providing serverlists for games without annoying key checks.

Actually i am using PragmaMx as CMS which is a far relative of PHP-Nuke.

I already integrated one serverlist with Version 4 for testing. It will be for Frontlines: Fuel of War as soon as you updated the protocol.

But i really need the possibility to add complete serverlists at once, so i hope you will add this "list interface" soon.

Its not going to happen, v4 from the protocol side of things is far superior.

( btw, have already finished making new admin which can edit servers like lgsl 3 text file

)
