333networks MasterServer
Drop-in replacement and upgrade for the legacy GameSpy network, thus no user client needed to connect or play.
- Free • Open Source
- Windows
- Online
- Self-Hosted
- SQLite
- Perl
...
A direct "like for like" replacement for the GameSpy MasterServer, and supports a huge number of games.
333networks is the official MasterServer for several games companies, and can be self-hosted, or use the main Master, or both.
Most alternatives require that players and admin install and run a 3rd party client which may conflict with other clients (especially Steam), and sign-up to a web site.
333networks MasterServer uses the original system built into the games, so people see the server lists where they originally appeared.
Players and server admin only need to change some lines in their game configuration files.
Hard-coded games can be updated by the game authors upon request, or redirecting the GameSpy URL to 333networks in a modified HOSTS file.
Still in active development and many games have been verified to work, including;
Blood II
Deus Ex
Duke Nukem Forever
Heretic II
Nerf Arena
Postal 2
Rune
Shogo
Soldier of Fortune: Retail
Star Trek: Bridge Commander
Unreal
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament Demo
Wheel of Time
Many more games are potentially supported, but have yet to be tested.
