Factorio Forums

I have added a webinterface for people who don't want to use a program.
The website is http://www.ultimetum-aluance.com (dont ask )

Also, servers added will now last for 3 hours and thereafter delete from the list. So we always have a more or less fresh list.

Have fun!

The name/description field seems overly restricted on input, and gives no rejection message when it doesn't pass the restriction.
Also, seems to require cookies for some reason. For a simple listing page, that seems odd.

Hi there,
cookies are presumable because of either the php or javascript. I can't really understand why they would matter so much, cookies are pretty common on the internet. They might be from the template or (most probably) from the php session itself.
As for the restrictions: Servers can only contain letters and numbers, ip address must be a correct ip address and port must be a number between 1 and 65535. I have included some errorcodes for now so you can now see what field caused the problem!

I tend to reject cookies out of hand unless I can see a good reason to allow them.
Too much tracking and data-mining going on for me to give cookies free reign anymore.
That being said, I'm usually easy going about granting session cookies.
Still seemed odd that a simple form would require cookies to submit.

My part about the restrictions was mostly about not being able to use anything other than alphanumerics. (I can understand avoiding situations that require sanitation though.)
But it's your page, so don't mind me much.

Oh, and thanks for getting this page up at all. Hopefully it gets servers more exposure.

I'm using a domain name for my public server - any chance you can lift the restriction and/or release the source code so someone can take over maintenance? =)

Just a FYI. We intend to create something called Multiplayer Matching Server / Service for the 0.13. The intended feature list is not yet complete but it would basically be an in-app integrated server listing service. So the server would list itself with the matching server. There would be some possibility to specify who is allowed to join (for instance list of usernames). Then players could look up servers to connect to directly via a dialog in Factorio.

ah, makes sense given the steam publication - looking forward to it =)

You may want to exclude rfc1918 addresses.. saw a 192.168.1.1 listed ;p
