one of those ideas...
« on: August 18, 2006, 07:47:05 am »
This is one of the ideas where it is so simple it would be used for more organization and simplicity in the game, its a "why not?" sort of idea.

The idea is to have a few more filters, such as no banned servers (possible?) favorites only, and the ones that are already suggested many times, the no realsitic no survival and no advanced options, there are quite a few pictures floating around somewhere that show ideas of how it would be implemented, but they show a bunch of weird ways of organizing the buttons, (if i recall correctly, one was you check the box once for yes and twice for no)

other ideas are more than welcome

i have thinked about that many times before and absolutly agree!
you may be able to search for servers, like in the filters there are:

Show server with:
  • Every word
  • Any of the words
  • None of the words

-(A textarea comes here)-

and after that it will search in both server-name and map-name. so if you want to play DodgeBall you type DB or DodgeBall.

and what i have noticed is that you can sort the lobby-server by most players, but not by least players.

Possibly multiple types of gamemodes? Such as, only show servers that are only what gamemodes you choose? Currently you can only filter for 1 gamemode at a time, but filters for multiple gamemodes would be great. :D

And also I think a "Not 1 person" should also cover servers with only one person in it.

i had another idea for filters, in the box that has the word "ping" and a space to type, and you could type something like <300 so all the servers that have more than 300 ping are filtered out (it would work all of them)

Yes this is a great idea. I'm surprised this was'nt in the new version. When I started playing Soldat I always found realistic matches when that was'nt my checked filter and I was like WTF!? I hated realistic mode but I learned to love it.

this would be awesome.  maybe there could be a filter for games with mods as well.
