Hello,
I just can't find anywhere my host id which I need for the webservices.
I've looked in http://doc.gamecreate.com/ManualXmlStatus as told to, it tells me to go look at http://yourdomain.cc.gamecreate.com/admin/Servers.xml.aspx which I did too (and yes, i replaced "yourdomain" and "cc" by the appropriate values) but all I had there was an HTML table listing my public servers. It wasn't an xml file, (which was what I expected after reading the Manual), and I couldn't find any host id or system id anywhere in the HTML file. The host id isn't indicated anywhere in the corresponding tab too...
Maybe I've searched in the wrong places, if so please help me ^^

Thanks in advance

Take a closer look at the output from the Servers.xml.aspx page (save it to disk) and you'll see it contains lots and lots of information that is not displayed in the web-browser. The web-browser just shows a nicely formatted page displaying parts of the info in the XML.

Wow thanks a lot ^^
I just can't believe browsers are this stupid, sometimes they would display your xml nicely with ALL its info, and others they'd just show you an html table with some of the info...
Nevertheless, I think that's an advice worth putting on the manual !

Nono, the aspx-page actually instructs the web-browser to display the xml data the way it does. If you just feed the browser a clean xml-file (try the one you just downloaded), it will show everything. So it's not the browser that's being stupid, it's the GC guys that have decided to nicely format the data. Which is a good idea since it gives you a quick server overview Smile
