Okay you can now add as spectator.
Awesome :)

Make the list of gathers played (on your personal profile) into a clickable thing which shows the F1 score of that gather.
That's one of the things up next.

Yeeah! :D

Feedback is the primary motivator, so yeah.

Yay, great job, jrgp!
Thanks

You said you want more bells and whistles, so...
- change the palette of nick colors on the list (some of them are unreadable)
- add 'afk' marker to the list (and if you post something on chat it turns off automaticaly)
- load a few last lines that were posted on chat before one's join
- add timestamps to chat (switchable)
- allow bloodbath dm to be played with 3 players, if they all are for it. other players might be able to join while those three are still playing, thus filling the server. there's threesome dm already

Just added Threesome DM (normal mode, 3 players, 3 rounds).

I'll look into it.

Ok...

so...

I have not read all the topic, since it's pointless to read all 'how great web gather is' and 'what a great job has been done'.

Let me state the facts:
The game is dying, because it's buggy and has no updates; less and less people play it.

Someone who does not know what is happening here could say: "I'm sure the main developers are working hard to make this game better, they know that there are fewer players than before, thus they must be doing some hard coding and debugging, they probably don't even sleep, I hope they will finish it soon!"

But what are the main developers really doing? Instead of fixing bugs, rewriting bad written code, they are creating next useless ****ing gather. Wait, I forgot, this is an *OFFICIAL* gather! This must be something exciting, because this is an *OFFICIAL* gather! Really? Now will I be able to play on an *OFFICIAL* gather? No, I can't believe it, I played many games and most of them didn't have one, but in soldat... YES! I do have an *OFFICIAL* gather! An *OFFICIAL* gather must bring lots of new players! Woah!

There are LOTS of gathers we can play on, many of them are often empty, because there are too many of them. Only #soldat.gather has 6 servers while there r usually 2, maybe 3 running at the same time. Who the hell needs another one for such a small community?

Maybe the new developer wanted to show that he is not that useless and is going to make something for this community? Sure, web gather is something that community can use. Maybe add customized skins? How love we shiny and colourful skins! It also lacks some music playing in the background, because while waiting for a gather I WANT TO HEAR MUSIC!

Please, close notepad++, give up server-side scripting for some time, and do some REAL coding.

Good job, keep following EnEsCe...

Vtg, you could have at least read the first post. I made this because MM wanted me to. I wouldn't have otherwise. :P

Oh, and all of this is written from scratch in Vim (attaching a screenshot since I doubt you'll believe me) over ssh. Notepad++ wasn't used at all. :-\

I don't think we're still at a point where what MM wants is seen as what's best for this game because it's MM.

Huh,
I am trolling? Is my message extraneous or what? Is anything besides replies like 'good job man' and so a trolling? Ach, I know, this is not kind of topic you like...

I understand... the idea of creating next gather is so stupid itself that only MM could think of it, my apologies.

I think you have something to say as a developer and contributor, haven't you? You should really not waste time.

Taking into consideration time and effort which jrgp has put in it and the current situation of soldat as well as number of players in the gathers, I need to state that this kind of "improving" game is a waste of time.

you should have at least read teh thread, and tried teh gathah.

What's so special in this gather? I've look through the topic, there are some commands for map change, pause, unpause, unban, what can one need more? Hm... maybe a stable game?

There is only one reason to try it, which comes to my mind atm: this is a superior *OFFICIAL* gather.

The question should be "Vtg, what is it you want me NOT to do?"
