We did already talk it over, and no, there's no chance for VML games to be run on AH. This is not due to rc3 rc4 issues, but to the fact that VML requires another, edited exe. Jeff from MC does not like his exe to be modified very much, thus he will not give his permission to run VML on AH.

Not quite... Jeff did not 'refuse to give permission'. He stated his dislike for exe file modification, and left the decision up to me. In my reply to Verker, I mentioned that if I allowed VML games to run on AutoHost, and VML really caught on, it would be hard to standardize on one version of VML for the sake of players. Therefore, I decided not to host VML games on AutoHost.

Quote:

Btw, rc3 and rc4 are not both run on AH, it is just that you can host games with rc3 player files by using rc4. IIRC AH just runs rc4, thats it.

All new games started on AutoHost since February or so use rc4. Any games started before the switchover time who did not request to be moved to rc4, are still using rc3. Each game's web page on AutoHost displays what version that game is using.

Correct that rc4 can host player files that use rc3. Rc4 is mostly server-side bug fixes.

Players would not (AFAIK) benefit any from using rc4 on their local computers instead of rc3.
