I know there are 2 methods of connecting to MSN - tkservers and finds server. Is there a difference between the two?

Lmao  The Finds server is a directory server - when you connect to that and send a FINDS request for a room, it returns the IP for one of the tkchat servers (the one that the channel you want is on). Then you auth to it and join the room. The tkchat servers on the other hand... well, if you connect & auth to all of them it eliminates the need to connect to the Finds server. It also means room join times of "almost instant" if you send the join command to all of them, because there is no auth needed (you'd already done this when connecting). Comprende? :cheer: |

Ahh, thanks, undertand it better now. So, all rooms are on tk chat servers and the room you wish to join - you need the ip of the tk chat server on which that room is on.
Is there any pieces of code about to show the different tk and finds servers?

Possibly it shouldnt matter though, you can use a combination of the tkchat servers for near-instant access & the finds server for any channel you cannot find :cheer: |
