It doesn't work as it should, so it's broken, seems pretty simple to me :-)

There seems to be some kind of 8kb limit to the data package sending the world information. Therefore the uniserver should just send out more than one packet, and it will get all the worlds to the clients again. As for how it should show the list - I'd say, keep the current list, but add another tab where you could organise worlds in a collapsable tree view, so you can organise them in categories. The contact list should be a collapsable tree view too. rolu |
