64 bit.

You start qtlobby from spring user dir i guess :) And it will work in this case. In the upcoming release this issue might be fixed tho. It's bakin' right now.

it only works if i dont extract it directly into springfolder...any other folder will do. any reason for this?

Weird. It would be less surprising it it was vice versa. What revision do u use?

New UI concept, inspired by Jazcash's sketches

[Forboding Angel]

I have to admit that I really like that ui concept.

Are you guys planning on using your own torrent / SpringDownloader type system eventually?

Meanwhile, QTLobby includes a different MinGW DLL than the one included in SpringLobby so I can't both have them in the same root Spring directory.

Finally, QTLobby does start with SpringLobby's MinGW DLL, but it can't find the unitsync. I'm on Vista SP1 and I run QTLobby as an administrator.

i tried with latest 0.68 but also the ones before....its really strange. i have the dlls and exe in a folder on my desktop and it works. if i copy all the files into springfolder it crashes at lobby-start.

Some GAI told me I should upload my GUI.

right, because nobody ever joins more than six channels

Dude, all these crazy layouts in every lobby, none of them familiar... why isn't anybody making a lobby that works like a normal modern windows multiple document app?

The menu opens windows. Windows can either be tabs in the main view, or floating always-on-top panels, or side-docked panels(which can be set to auto-hide).

Everything is a window. Battleroom is a window. Game list is a window. A single chat is a window.

Then the users can lay it out however we like.

Is ther anyone wiling to join a commnity driven qt lobby fund and give this man sone credit for his work done.

i mean this lobby is by far the best lobby out there, and i for one wuld be willing to make a donation if he continues the development in the pace he has done till here. Bugs are squished in notime.

when the lobby is fully forking and ready to replace sl and tasclient, i wuld be willing to make a donation.

[reivanen]

We reallly need to have a better information of whos ready or not. and an option of "if player x readies not in x minutes, he will be kiked, unless all orher lauers are readty.

Nice. I didn't realize it had that capability since QT's widgets for that sort of thing don't look like the Windows ones.

[luckywaldo7]

Yeah, one of my favorite things about it so far

They should look native in windows tho.
Jazcash, i uploaded your ui to google some time ago not to loose them. It has some nice ideas we gonna implement.
reivanen, thx, but best credit for us will be a windows developer. Without such guy we're useless for windows platform. We got virtual machines and everything, but it's impossible to seriously debug something on it.

[aegis]

any reason?
post or thread?

Post. :) answered before reading, but luckywaldo7 posted exactly the same screenshot i posted in that post :)

It when more channels are joined than can be displayed a slider or arrow would popup so you can view the others

If you download Adobe Fireworks I can send you the editable file and you can rip bits apart and do whatever you want with it.
I'm also hoping to do some more work on this soon and I might make some documentation of how it would work. Then later in my life when I can code, I'll probably make it :D
