Default PBW RTC protocol and mod chooser integration

Most of my PBW games are now modded games, which means I cannot use the very handy Real-Time Client to simply click on a game to play its turn. Frankly, it's driving me nuts. Now, I consider myself a fairly competent programmer, and can most likely make a program that can merge both the functions of Matrix's Mod Chooser and the RTC client - if I knew how the client communicates with the server. The Chooser is simple - just modify/copy the path file; It's mostly GUI, which is no real sweat either. Communicating with the server is a different kettle of fish - it could simply be transferring files via HTTP/FTP via an odd port, or it could be something else... would the author of the PBW RTC program be willing to release the specs of the client/server setup, and would Geoschmo be willing to let a program made by me access his PBW server?

Not only willing, I've posted in the forums before seeking someone to do exactly that but I got no responses. We should discuss it one on one though. Feel free to email me or contact me via IM.

Atari, did you see my response to this? If you want to talk about it some, shoot me an email.
