Favorites a Filter Option
« on: April 10, 2009, 01:22:59 pm »
Instead of favorites showing up in the IP box, make it so there is a filter option for favorites, so that you can see if the server has empty slots, the ping, and, if EnEsCe decides to, other useful server info.

This idea would greatly help players who play on the same servers often.

Great idea. Being able to further filter your favorites would be an added bonus.

Cool, but a big amount of players use gathers for playing, idk whether it is that kind of important for Soldat to have a favourite list where you have to fucking hide&seek for the simple link to the server. I think there are some tools which will apply you this option, look into the fan aps list and see what you can get :)

Wouldn't it just be a waste of time and space? And many players don't even have servers in their favourites list. Not all players would want this because it would make the filters box unnessacarily (can't remember how to spell it) large. If you can't find it in the Fan Apps just make it yourself.

F11, just unnecessary at this time. More important things should be added and implemented first.

What I mean is that there would be an option in the filter box to show only your favorite servers, and if only that option is turned on, then your favorite servers would be listed in the server list with the servers ping and player number. If someone has many favorite servers, then he can choose to further filter them by gametype or whatever.

The main point is to have your favorites listed in the server list, not the IP box where you dont know how many players are in that particular server.

And many players don't even have servers in their favourites list.
Many players dont use the favorites list because the favorites list is almost useless in the shape it is now.

If you can't find it in the Fan Apps just make it yourself.
Not everyone is a coder.

I'd LOVE for this to be implemented. For all you people saying it'd be a waste of time, go shove your head in a pot of boiling oil.

Lol Epic, yep :D! But I'm not saying my idea should be implemented right away.

If someone has many favorite servers, then he can choose to further filter them by gametype or whatever.

Actually, that might be quite a useful idea now that I've taken a closer look at the functions of the favourites list. An alternative to this would for your favourite servers to be placed at the top of the list when you request servers, regardless of the ping. OF course, players with more than 5 or 6 favourite servers might find this to be a nuisance.

Been suggested before, got the usual (like this one) would be great if the devs had time but probably don't so it will never happen sorry, you'll just have to be happy with other random things like chat.

great idea, the way Favourites work now is terrible, i don't even use it. Filtering favourite servers would be neat.
