How do I make a server for my game so you can download maps? Each map will be an XML document, but I want to have the server be in-game, instead of on a website. I do have some experience with HTML/PHP, but very little. There will be no multiplayer interaction (that I have planned), it’s all going to be singleplayer.
Another thing is how to have variables attached to it, like reviews that you can see before you download it.
Thanks!
You need to program your own server.exe and run it from a accessible machine. Whenever someone wants to DL new maps, they will exchange communications with this server.exe that will supply the reviews/download times and other variables that you want to display.
Is this Windows-only? If so, you can use Lidgren network lib (http://code.google.com/p/lidgren-network-gen3/). If not youre stuck with the internal network library.
You dont need HTML/PHP since you dont want it to be a website.
