What is the point of zhsb.info?
Outside of a handful of dedicated players, most people who play Zero Hour are not aware of matches happening outside of their selected matchmaking region. zhsb.info was created to consolidate data from all regions into one place, eliminate any issues with the server browser introduced by the game itself, and provide the data within an easy-to-use interface that is independent from the game.
How does zhsb.info work?
Zero Hour was created using Unity, and uses Photon Fusion as its multiplayer networking backend. By performing packet analysis on the game's network traffic, a custom program was created to communicate with Photon's servers using the same protocol as the game itself. Data received by this program is made available to zhsb.info in real-time.
Is zhsb.info an official website?
No. zhsb.info was created by adrien leblanc. zhsb.info and its creator are not affiliated with or otherwise related to AttritoM7 Productions, the creators of Zero Hour. However, AttritoM7 Productions has given approval to adrien leblanc to operate zhsb.info and to include assets from Zero Hour within its interface.
Is zhsb.info free to use?
Yes, zhsb.info has always been and will always be completely free to use. There are no advertisements and no data is being collected from the user. With that being said, donations will be accepted in limited amounts to help cover operating costs at some point in the future.
