Feature request (probably unimportant

): A way to filter out specific maps from the battle list. I'd rather live in blissful ignorance of the fact that people still play speedmetals and greenfields.

Two bugs:

If it fails to parse the TASSERVER protocol line, it gives an error "Server version (0.34) not supported." It should give a different error IMHO, like "incorrect TASSERVER line" or even just "syntax error".

It does not support the servermode parameter to TASSERVER command yet, which is in 0.35 TASServer (a 0/1 on the end of the command to indicate whether the server is in LAN mode).

mmmh not really, it supposes that if the TASSERVER can't be parsed it's because the lobby doesn't support the server version and then check for a new one

make it work for both servers, it makes testing problematic.

the next version of the lobby should not be compatible with server 0.34 anyway because of the SETSCRIPTTAG and updatebattledetails changement so i'll change it soon

next big think i'll try to implement is an integrated tutorial

it would work by step, each step showing the more important thing and greying the rest, with a small text to explain the thing, and each tutorial would popup up the first time you open a form, there would be a tutorial for the main form :

1 - registering an account
2 - it would show the connect button
3 - chat
4 - battle list
5 - filters
6 - players list + context menu
7 - hosting
8 - replays
9 - search uf
10 - help

the hosting form

1 - hosting type
2... each part of the host form

the battle form

1 - choosing map / map description
2 - drawing boxes
3 - choosing your team etc
4- the different battle parameters
5 - unit restriction
6 - player list (sorting) and context menu
7 - host menu
8 - bots
9 - ladder options

the replay form

- each button etc

so if you have a better idea or want to provide the explication text you can reply :)

Is there any real reason for this? You ought to be able to watch a demo while waiting for a game to be ready.

This annoys me too. As it is I have to disconnect and risk losing my slot.

Doubleclick on it in the /demos folder

I am using v35, aka current.

It runs fine for about 12 seconds, then either lags and disconnects me, or just freezes.

yea i have same problem, i load TASclient up, then after about 5-10 seconds (it has logged into the server by this stage) it uses loads of cpu, so much i cant do anything, for around 1- 2 mins. After this its fine.. its just annoying to have your computer freeze up for 2 mins evrytime you open tasclient....
