: (gameranger & chat lines)

: Hm.. I was under the impression that the latest build supported TCP/IP?

It does, but the game often becomes horribly out of sync even over a LAN; the code would need to be reworked significantly in order to account for the latency inherent in transmitting information over the internet. This can become very complicated, since latency causes the server and players' gameworlds to be subtly different, which is why in high-latency online games people might suddenly move two meters forward or get killed by a rocket that they actually dodged; the players' and projectiles' positions on each person's computer are almost always different, and the server needs to take these differences into account when creating its "official" version of events. There are probably a few other issues that would need to be worked out as well, but once the game is running smoothly adding things such as text chat functionality shouldn't take very long.
