Replace UGS with Mirror Networking and Edgegap Server Hosting

With the announcement of UGS changing their service offering, we can no longer upload builds for multiplay on UGS and Rocket Science isn’t yet ready to receive new builds, so their proposed alternative is not in place. With nowhere to go, we have to explore new options. Mirror is recommended for Steam, and since that’s the eventual direction, I figured I’d give that one a whirl first. There are other alternatives. And as of this moment, I haven’t gotten it a hundred percent but it’s in the works. Somehow we’re just not connecting once we’re not local.

But basically, here’s how it goes. You have to get the package for Mirror and then the plugin for Edgegap. Mirror runs your network manager and your netcode and whatnot, while edgegap gives the server a home. Edgegap also has matchmaker, which is what I’m trying to figure out at present moment.
