map/mod links in lobby

Post by Gota »

i want the ability to specify a map and a mod link next to the map name or instead of it in the lobby menu.
Wouldnt it make life much easier?people wont have to advertise maplnks or paste them inside the rooms..
Id also suggest removing the description part.Nobody really needs it.

The description is very useful, and has been used lots of times, for example for stating special rules for the server and what amount of players the game is waiting for, besides, removing stuff just to remove stuff doesn't really make much sense.

It makes sense to make t more pleasing to the eye and to have less useless detail pop up in front of you.So many playes just move it away so they will have ro for map name player listings and mod name.

If you have a problem with it, follow your own advice.

Fine.
But what about the ability to put a link to the map and a link to the mod near their respective names.
The host has the ability to give 2 links 1 tothe mod and 1 to the map and they show as "link" near map names and mod names.

Instead of adding another value like the avarage rank in a room which is stupid anyway cause people dont play according to their time spent in game,maybe time can be consumed in work on features that will be more benefitial.

Something like links would probably need server support, and last I checked nobody is willing to work on the current server ;)

Also, changing protocol needs support from the lobby devs or people get unhappy.

This whole discussion is somewhat pointless.

actually the avg ranks is not that useless, it's useful for newbies that want to play with newbies and people that don't want to play with newbies ...

and as i told you and aegis said it would need a server update too ask betalord ;)
