SubMode

[machina]

As we all good know, Soldat doesn't keep with only 7 gamemodes. People changes game details, add scripts and do many other things those make their servers unique. If someone create some really good and playable combination then other people copy it. The group of servers with the same details is now created! Then, the new community can be created. It gets its own website and forum for fans of this SubMode!

We all know that there are many SubModes in Soldat. TrenchWar, Tactical TrenchWar, DodgeBall, Zombie, Hide 'n' Seek... Many! But there's still no possibility to sort them out in lobby (in Soldat and webiste lobby too). At this moment it looks like that:


What if we added there string value called SubMode? With maximum 5 characters. And we would leave it free for admins those could edit it without any restrictions. Then organizing our lobby would be the simpliest! Ingame lobby would detect all SubModes and put them to sliding menu in Filters. Then, the player would just choose his favourite SubMode to find servers those are interesting for him. Everything would get order.

Some propossed international standards:

• db Dodgeball
• zm Zombie
• esns !Elite Snipe and Slice
• hns Hide 'n' Seek
• tw TrenchWar
• ttw Tactical TrenchWar
• ko Knife Only
• climb Climb

Owners those have more than one server (that don't really have any specific changes) could use SubMode as their sign e.g.:

• leo Leo's Realistic Servers
• zbk Zabijaka Servers
• pks PKS Servers
• elite Elite Servers

I think that big characters shouldn't be available because it could make some mess.


Okay, that's my proposition I hope you'll enjoy! And it will be added to Soldat.

Best,

Soldat of course (and lobby site if it's wanted)! Who really look for servers using site. Everybody do it in Soldat.

Sorry for confusing picture. It was faster to make screenshot opening only website

If you wanna have that going with a list of tags would be better than a subgamemode field.

Idea itself is good but it's nearly impossible to do. There's no way for the lobby to check what scripts server is running and to what community it belongs to (trying to parse the server name is unreliable and stupid in overall).

No, no, no, no, no! Sorry if I made any misunderstanding. I meant that admins can change variable/string Submode same like a name of the server! For example, there would be something like this in Soldat.ini:

Code: [Select]

Submode=db

This name ("tag") maybe is better because of possibility of adding there stuff like: "leo", etc. But I wanted to keep with only ONE tag. Without possiblility to create more of them.
