New OpFpInfoServer 0.943 available.
Fixes a minor bug. Adds a log file (nDedicatedServer.log), with all OpFp server events (the same text as the one in dedicated server window).

Hi people. There hasn't been an update for long time. 
Why?
Because i don't have much time... AND because i am not very satisfied ....
The problem is  the lack of information about OpFp "QUERY" string. I really don't have time to decrypt UDP packets  ...If any one can give me this information ..... i may enhance the tools ...HIGHLY ... 
Please .... post in the FORUM if you are interested in the feature of  the nTOOLS. If there is sufficient interest ... i will continue the development.

Apparently many people complained why server is no answering to their messages.  Simple. They  can't answer. Only the client can send message to the server and not the inverse. It works in one direction only.
Du to high demand.... i am currently working on the server, so will be capable answering to messages.
My first idea was, only the client to be able to report problems to the server (complaint msg)
Anyway ... with little hope, the chat enabled progy will be out this night. I am working for 2 days now on it.
The server will have a list of all the clients that have sent a message. Host ,can select from that list and choose  to which one to answer. It will be server to user and user to server private chat. I don't want to make a real chat server. This is not the point of this program. The problem is the performance. A real chat server will eat to much band witch for the messages and game performance will suffer. 
Eventually later , i may implement a real chat server. The host will be able to enable/disable it any time.  All this depends from the interest to the NTools.

Oh..i am really tired. The chat between server and client is not for tonight. I don't promises, but will try to make it for tomorrow.
Big THANKS to THASSER2U for his help testing the tools.
