I'm kinda new to lacewing is there a way to see a list of hosted games among computers in a LAN?
I know how to connect to a server, but what about just finding active hosts among the local network offline?
Thanks for any help, sorry if it's been asked before and I just missed it
I'm confused on what you mean. You could potentially use a channel for this though.
Well, you could probably use the LAN enumeration features of Lacewing, by making a connection to each device. Normally, games use UDP broadcast packets to search for/tell about servers, but it's not been implemented in Lacewing yet (you can probably use the Python object, I'll see if I can wrap up an example).
EDIT: Have a look here.
I installed the python object but when I try to look at the examples it says "cannot run python.mfx the object might need external program or library"
Is there some step I am missing? Sorry lol, I'm dumb and don't know anything about python >.<
That means that it probably wasn't able to extract the extension to a place where it could read it. When you run an MMF2 exe, it extracts all its extensions to a temporary place. If it can't extract them and/or can't read them than that is the issue. It can somtimes happen for no reason, try restarting your computer, maybe?
Also, if you had MMF2 open at the time of the installation, it will not show in the extension list until you close MMF and restart it.

Nivram I think he has to have been able to load it in MFM2 in order to get that error in the first place. Or he could have run an EXE.
Restarted, still says the same thing, even on example files that come with the python object.
Are you sure you've installed it correctly? Try and install Python 2.6.5, see if that helps.
Installed python 2.6.5, still says the same thing. As far as I know the extension is installed correctly (just unzipped the mmf files to the runtime) and the extension shows up fine in the frame editor. When I run the frame/app though it has the error message
