Doing a spot of dabbling. Is there a function in V3 for returning your IP address so you can tell everyone what it is so they can join your server? If not, can we put a function in? GetIP()?

Well, I'm just talking out of my ass here potentially, but it might be hard getting your WAN IP address if you're on a LAN.
You could always sub a call out to www.ipbeer.com and scrape your IP out of there! :D

System Shock 2 seemed to do it without much hassle.
The only problem with a method like ipbeer.com is it might not always BE there. If, five years down the line, I fancy some multiplayer and ipbeer's server has long since curled up and died then my IP address functionality won't work.
How would I *get* the IP data from the website to something usable, anyhow?

Here's a bit of a messy solution ... still it is a solution so here goes:
use a batch file to start the game with the following commands ...
ipconfig >> ipaddress.dat
verge.exe
save it as rungame.bat
that will create the file ipaddress.dat
containing the output from ipconfig
and then run verge.exe
there using some simple vc file reading
and text parsing you can retreive the
machine's current ip address.
hope it helps
