Westwood Online is a peer-to-peer gaming network which uses several protocols for chatting/gaming. The main portion of WOL is based on the IRC protocol. There are two versions of WOL: the WOLv1 protocol which is used by Westwood Chat client (later called Westwood Online). This client connects to a meta-server for chatting and arranging games. The Westwood Chat Client is an application used to launch a game and is not integrated into the game itself. Later games supported the WOLv2 protocol internally, you could search for games and chat without having to exit the game.

  • Westwood Online is a peer-to-peer gaming network which uses several protocols for chatting/gaming. The main portion of WOL is based on the IRC protocol. There are two versions of WOL: the WOLv1 protocol which is used by Westwood Chat client (later called Westwood Online). This client connects to a meta-server for chatting and arranging games. The Westwood Chat Client is an application used to launch a game and is not integrated into the game itself. Later games supported the WOLv2 protocol internally, you could search for games and chat without having to exit the game. WOLv1 clients connect to two servers hosted at irc.westwood.com and gameres.westwood.com. The first one uses a modified IRC server protocol and is used for chatting, and negotiating games. The client (not the protocol) sets up games and sends game data to the server which then sends it to other clients. This server will be called WOL IRC server in this wiki. The gameres protocol is a binary protocol used for sending game results information to the server after a game is over. WOLv2 uses many servers. First, clients join the servserv.westwood.com server which is a meta-server. This server sends list of chat servers (which are enhanced version of irc.westwood.com servers), gameres servers, ladder servers, wdt servers, port mangler server etc. All of these servers will be described below. Because WOLv1 and WOLv2 are nearly identical, both are covered together here with the differences highlighted.
