Automatic Ping/server updater.
« on: February 27, 2009, 02:26:39 pm »
I am tired of having to click refresh, or trying to join a map that says there are 7/10 people, and then it is full.
I say that there should be an option that you can have it so it will constantly refresh, without having to parse/reload all the servers. It hsould just call back the player count and the ping.

Another suggestion is that when you have your favorites marked, that the favorites should show how many players are on, and the ping, like normal servers in the list.

I previously suggested something simmilar to this. Quick Refresh, but apparently it is too hard to script or something like that.

Not a fan of the first, I think it would seriously slow everything down. The second suggestion, however, I can get along with. Perhaps have an additional menu called "Favorites"?

Probably people that were spec'd or something, if they're not playing they're wasting space and should gtfo.

That is actually what I meant. A favorites menu that actually shows everything.

Somehow, I hate constant refreshing. Reminds me of Assault Cube, when I come looking for one server, all the servers in the list will jumble up once every few seconds. It's annoying.

I like that idea. The "favourites" being an actual menu rather than a list of names and only show you the IP/port but not the server status.

I don't really mind the current system, It's easy and I join the top green severs, almost straight away, so they're usually quite current.

Yeah, quick refresh would be nice if added. Same with favourites tab.
Earlier I used xfire to avoid constant requesting servers list.
