Simple Lobby Fix
« on: June 12, 2006, 11:44:11 am »
Simple version:
When clicking 'Disconnect' in the lobby, make it actually stop downloading the map and disconnect.

Story version:
This idea is something that I'm sure has been bugging people from time to time.
When I browse through available servers, I see a good game of ctf with just the write amount of people in it.  After double clicking I suddenly take note of the name of the server:  Climbing map.  I hate climbing maps.  It then starts to download the weird map so I decide to click 'Disconnect' to stop it but it won't listen and makes me join that server...
Can't think of anything original to put here...

By doubleclicking it's the same as clicking once on the server and then clicking Join Game. But this would probably be a good fix to those who doubleclick often.

Well if you have a huge hard drive,  and a good connection, plus a good amount of RAM, whats the problem with downloading a small map?

This happens to me too from time to time, but I'm in and out of the server in a few seconds anyway. Sure it may be annoying, but it's not a big deal. I'd rather see some other bugs fixed before MM spends time on this.

In this case it would be nice to have an ability to not download map at all (for example, having an Auto-download on/off setting in config), although this belongs in another topic. ;/
This will prevent your map list from becoming a mess after accidentally downloading a whole bunch of maps you don't want.

Should this be as a Bug?
