    Build 420 is on its way out now, with it is a complete overhaul to the server browser and the way servers register themselves with the central list. The server browser looks identical, though in the next release or two it will change in appearance and gain significantly more filtering functionality. These now make use of the King Arthur's Gold central API, which will be getting a post of its own soon as it becomes more complete and is ready for use by community developers.

    For starters, the minimap of any server can be found by going to https ://api.kag2d.com/server/ip/{IPADDRESS}/port/{PORT}/minimap such as https://api.kag2d.com/server/ip/67.23.118.185/port/50314/minimap . The status of a server can be viewed in machine-readable JSON format at a similar URL, such as https://api.kag2d.com/server/ip/67.23.118.185/port/50314/status (note that the exact keys present are still subject to change, consider this a preview). The server list can also be fetched in a machine-readable JSON format at https://api.kag2d.com/servers/current/1/connectable/1 (and append /build/420 to only see servers in build 420. The next post on the API will explain all of the other filters available)


    Here is a full changelog for this otherwise small release:
    - server browser now uses API and threaded calls
    - more colors in server preview minimap in server browser
    - minimap preview image shows the center of the map by default (but can be dragged around)
    - many server browser bugs fixed
    - made arrows not damage at minimum velocity under water
    - made arrows skip higher
    - dirt no longer created for infinite support
    - fixed dropping mats working always -> allowing inf mats on startup


    Here's what some servers look like currently:

    You can edit Base/Scripts/autoconfig.gm and put cc_valign = 0; in it if it isn't already there. If it is already in there, edit it and change it to 0

    Highlight to read.

    Looks fantastic with stunning detail and color. Now we can see if a map has water or not (which was quite a problem). Keep up the good work.

    thank you

    Also this is awesome

    Premium servers are finally using some maps with no water now, too, instead of just the same two boring lake maps on repeat.:)

    version_file 1339117748-925-02a7d3acd5a9 is the first line.

    My KAG is running on build 415.

    EDIT: This might also be the reason I'm only seeing 1 person playing?

    Reinstalling fixed the issue, rather quickly at that.

    In the future if your kag doesn't update correctly, just delete App/version.txt and it'll force a patch.
