I was just wondering if there was a way to run the 0.3z winserver in a manner that dioesn't go and advertise itself into the public listing. I'm asking because I started it up for a LAN party and after three days my firewall is reporting over 12,000 attempted connections to a server that was only running for about an hour and hasn't been run since then.
Other than that, great mod, keep up the good work.

remove or rename the announce.exe before launching the server to avoid reporting its ip to the browser. if you want the ip removed permanently from the list (once added, simply removing the announce will not remove it), pm me here at the forum with the ip:port of the server.

Awesome, thanks.
I don't think I'll be needing the ip:port removed from the browser. The connections stopped after a day or two and haven't re-appeared since, so I suppose there's a timeout for the browser list.
