They are simple scripts with usually a database saving the info (could also be a flat file). Anyone could host one but it's important that it's a stable and fast host.
this was posted in the past. everything on forums can be manipulated. don't believe what you see or read.

Also if you're going to do it, could you make the masterserver try to ping the server trying to be listed to make sure it's actually a working server. It gets really annoying scrolling through 10+ blank servers ;)

why would you want to create your own masterserver? just launch a server and you have your own tiny masterserver with 32 slots ;-)

You can use our new UDP-based masterserver - it contained in SVN in tools/UDPMasterServer folder, compile it using compile.sh script for Linux or MSVC project for Windows, and run bin/udpmasterserver file - it will open UDP port 23450, and that's all :) no more configuration needed.
You should of course have external IP or forward ports on your NAT / router for that.
Your server should be listed in cfg/udpmasterservers.txt file of each OLX client/host, which is possible only if we'll release it with next version of OLX, so you should prove to us your server will be fast and stable :) (and Beta5 currently don't support multiple UDP masterservers, only first one in that file is used).
We also have old PHP masterserver scripts which are using MySQL database and need a lot of configuring - you may ask RuNyoufool for them in private mail, though we already have 3 such masterservers and we don't need another one. Their addresses contained in cfg/masterservers.txt file.

Though if you're planning to use that server only for your friends / school / college / home LAN you can distribute OLX archive with modified udpmasterservers.txt file.
If you want your friends to see only games on your local net and don't see any evil mortar hosts - make masterservers.txt empty, and update udpmasterservers.txt to contain your UDP masterserver address instead of default one, and tell all your friends to use your hacked copy of OLX instead of official one distributed on sourceforge.net (that should be really good friends if they will listen to such advices :P ).

See Albert?
That's the way people should do the things. Pelya definitely doesn't fear to use hacks :D:D:D
