Server Info
« on: April 05, 2009, 12:13:16 am »
In the lobby server list, when you click on a server or preferably right-click for "server info", could you be able to see who is actually currently playing in the server. Say 12/12 players, right-click server info, it says, whos playing, kills, how long they have been playing, their ping etc. Mainly just their name if it's too hard to implement.

So, could this be able to be implemented, I don't want to hear other programs or anything else. I want to know if you're able to do this within soldat's lobby. This would be very helpful for me and probably other people.

This would be very hard to implement, especially the bit with how many kills and the ping of the players. But just seeing the names of the players could be implemented I guess, but no one really cares that much.

A bit useless IMO.

No. I care about it and it's useful. I support this idea. F12.

Sounds good. Names and score would be all that's needed though. Not I dividual scores, but the teams score or if it's FFA, the highest score.

Good idea, however as it's been mentioned in a similar ("quick refresh") thread, this would require a lot more information from the server which has to be send and regularly updated on the lobby server.
This of course will cause lags, so F11 for the most part :/
Some of the features could still be added though..

How will requesting to see whos playing cause lag? ...It won't lag the sever...it won't interrupt the messages been sent from the server or the connection speeds to whoever is playing.

And no, it wouldn't lag. BF: Heroes, Quakelive, CS, and many many others do this exact same thing.

Can't wait...
[offtopic] I got a chance to play beta, and it's really not very impressive (at least in my opinion). [/offtopic]

Well, I'm not an IT specialist so I dont know if it will cause the problems or not. Im just referring to what's been said on a similar issue in a different thread. I like this feature and would love to see it added.

Ha! 33.333% of the people who have voted say NO! Wait... only two other people and me have voted...

You should also add an option like:

I like some of the features or I like most of the features.

at least just update the server info which is ALREADY provided...

for example, when u click on a server the ping refreshes. why not have the map and number of players do the same?
