Re: More efficient multiplayer map download

One issue - as far as I can tell, xdelta is only available under GPL, which will almost certainly not suit Factorio (would mean it has to be GPL as well). I am not a lawyer, but to my understanding, if your application only acts as an interface to a GPL work, your application doesn't need to be GPL...

The ability to put a domain name instead of an ip address

I'd love to be able to type out a domain name in the "Connect to Game" window when connecting to a multiplayer game. As an example, assuming a headless server is running at myserver.com: http://i.imgur.com/oxRUlJ3.png Would this be possible? Also, this is a small thing, but when my cursor ...
