Redflare not working?

The page loads, but no servers are listed.

It's no big deal really, just thought someone should know.

It's Mulex's page (mulex is a moderator who has been around since BF days; rarely seen nowadays), so if anyone has a way to contact him, then you would have the answer.

For those who do not know, Redflare displays all public RE servers serve rtitle, the gametype running on them, time left on match, and full playerlist. It was really cool. Link: http://redflare.ofthings.net/

And this is what it looks like now:

Cool webpage i didn't know it existed, too bad it's not working at the moment though...Does anyone know, if there's a program like CSL (Cube Server Lister) for Red Eclipse? It would be cool to have a program, with what you can see every RE server, how many people are on, which people are on, how many points they have, their IPs, and the ability to join servers directly from the program of course.

If you could join servers directly from the redflare site it would be even more awesome, then you wouldn't even have to download a external program.

What you are asking, doesn't the RE online games finder do exactly that? Would it be so much seasier to fire up a program, search a game, join it and wait until RE is launched, than starting RE, search a game and join it immediately?

Yeah, because a program starts up a lot faster additionally, the server browser in RE isn't exactly the best, as it's a little awkward to use and it doesn't provide information like IP addresses, client numbers and points of each individual connected to a server.

Where can i find that "RE online games finder", google told me nothing

First, it is working again, thanks Mulex for fixing.
And second, you can start RE from browser, the site introduces a "redeclipse://" protocol, you need to configure your browser to start RE with server IP in commandline somehow.

I've managed to make my browser start RE from the "redeclipse://" protocol, but i can't connect to an ip without starting the game first. I can't even do that by a shortcut when i add "-connect [IP]" at the end of the command line and i start RE, it doesn't connect, it just starts the game.

Try: "-xconnect [IP]"

(Note the quotes are important, as the command will have spaces.)

Its connection with the master server is probably just getting interrupted. I will talk to Mulex about it when I get a chance to find out what is going on. We may be able to move the page to the box the master is hosted on, depending on the kind of load it would generate.
