Hello,

I am requesting an application for a tournament. I don't know if what I ask is possible, but its worth a try =]. What I would like the user to do is:

Start the program =P

There HoN Username will only be used in the next screen as a display name.
The match ID box connects to a certain room. So if there were two matches on, and someone entered the match ID 11166 they would join chat room A and if someone entered match ID 11167 they would join chat room B. (The room should be created by the server as soon as someone clicks submit and deleted when the room is empty.
The 3rd box is just for logs and admins.

After they click submit it should take them to a screen like:

The list boxes display the people on each team and the arrows are for people to swap teams.

I forgot to in the picture have a box for spectators. Also the time (AEST) and a simple chat box.

When someone presses Ready then cannot change teams until they press unready.
When a minimum of 8 people are in the room and have all hit ready, the game will move all mods to a separate folder and start the game.

This is what I don't know is possible.
The first person on team A is the "host" and it automatically starts the a server with specific settings and the players on the right team?.

Also pretty much everything is logged server side.

Why do I want this?
This would save a lot of time and difficulty when trying to find a team for a competition match. It will also solve disputes when teams say "we tried to contact them but we couldn't.... dadadada" as we can see the logs. This will also make sure that nobody is using any mods as they are illegal.

Full credits will go to the creator.

Thanks
Phalanx

I'm not sure if I understand 100%. Is this done through the game servers on HoN? Is this for when S2Games releases the dedicated server files, becauase you said "server with specific settings". Or, is this all done through a user-made server? I'm so confused. :S

The servers that I have been talking about is a normal server that will be hosted on our end. So like Ill have an application on my computer, and for others to join it will connect to an application on my server.

The specific server settings was to start the game like normal but automaticly start a server. Don't know how to really explain it.

Hmm... Yeah, it's pretty confusing. You can PM me and continue talking in more detail there, or if you have xfire you can add me: kev0rk

Contacted. Possible, but requires the game protocol. (or a command-line parameter, don't think there is any at the moment...) Don't think anyone has any application working 100% with the game protocol yet.
