Matchmaker (Reincarnated)
From Populous Wiki
The Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker is a application which acts as a game lobby for Populous. It allows users to login and chat to other users in the lobby. You can host or join games with various mods that are automatically installed when you play.
History
In the late days of when EA were still hosting the official matchmaker, Populous Reincarnated created a new matchmaker which was a win32 application rather than on a web page. The matchmaker used the same server as populous.net so you could have alternative matchmakers. The matchmaker is not as graphical but more simpler as all huts/rooms are formed as a tree diagram. The player list is still on the right and the chatbox is between the hut/room list and the player list.
After EA closed down there matchmaker server Populous Reincarnated hosted a new one so players could still play Populous online. The matchmaker was then updated frequently with new features like Mappacks, Mods, Skins, Private Messaging and many other useful features.
The matchmaker can be downloaded at the Populous Reincarnated site.
