If you want an elitist game, you can make is password protected... Or kick somebody you think too noob from it...
Maybe later, when there are 100s of players. Or when there is a rank system that actually says something (and not just "how much times has player wasted online´"....)
So, it should be a value that people can flaunt around? A "pee stain on the wall" as it were.IMSabbel wrote:Because it encourages people to just set their rank to non-appropiate levels...Zaphod wrote:Why? I think the host should be able to set whatever restrictions he want, he's the one hosting...

I also request moderators.... Some people just spam the main with all sorts of crud to make the channel useless....
If anyone needs an example, I can post one...

Although i haven't noticed it... I did see alot of newbs trying to set they're rank as level 5, hahahaha.
I think it should be, instead, limit maximum rank. That way a noob can be sure that very experienced players will not come in and massacre him.Betalord wrote:I forgot to mention: you will be able to limit battle to players with certain rank, so that players with lower rank won't be able to join.
About the discussion about the current limitation of min-rank, people can join anyway. It just gives them a warning and asks them if they're sure, which is ok to me.
I agree that it would be good for new players to be able to limit by Max rank. I would not replace one for the other I would suggest a >=, <= or no ranking limit option, similar to what you have now.
Either way you can not stop someone re registering and lowering their rank under another name!
Still I think its still a good option.

personally i want REAL ranking system as i've said before on a ladder. i know it would take time to put in the game but it would be a MUCH better indication of rank than stfu how many hours you've played
also cheating/bug abuse is not really a issue as this is still a small community and the game isn't very buggy. the one thing i request which will probably take AGES is a way for the game to figure out which player has disconnected if such a thing happens and auto report the other players win and this players loss because otherwise if you are losing then you can just pull the plug >.>(really pissed me off on BFME)

as addition to my previous post there are another missing features:
- ignore person (/ignore [name]) (some spammers going on your nerves from time to time :)
- "ignore list" (button on top)
- buddies (/friend [name]) (easier to find someone i like then)
- "friend list" (buttom on top)
and about maps / mods ...
possible to have direct download url to archive or bittorent in
modinfo.tdf
and add newly something similar for maps like mapinfo.tdf
so if lobby detect you don't have "yet" the map or equal build it will show info and the link from host's info file ?
this way it will be easier than "seeking" wth get that map / mod ...
and one little feature request ...
option to allow split lobby and battle window into two "real" windows ...
it's impossible to switch between if you maximize the battle window ...
and of course ... minimize to tray icon :)
thanks
p.s. if anything of this already exist sorry but i must missed it :)

thanks for noting the "downloading" already exist i was more likely about something even more n00b friendly (one click to download) ...
anyway i have noticed one little issue with actual map list / downloading ... there is no "size" of map in KB/MB info in both map list and downloading window
also i suggest some change / tweak into "update" map list feature ...
what about "NOT" download minimaps of maps i already have ! i mean some sort of economical work with bandwidth / space .... button "update new/changed only"

I agree, don't display maps that you already have is a good idea.Dwarden wrote:thanks for noting the "downloading" already exist i was more likely about something even more n00b friendly (one click to download) ...

well technically u can display them ... sorta of "filters" options ... if it's customizable it's enough friendly ...Torrasque wrote:I agree, don't display maps that you already have is a good idea.Dwarden wrote:thanks for noting the "downloading" already exist i was more likely about something even more n00b friendly (one click to download) ...

I've another idea :
When clicking on battlescreen button, allow the user to changes settings, and add bots without clicking on "host battle". So they can setup a game without being connected.
It will allow :
-People without internet to make skirmish game easly (go go Zaphod:))
-People who just want to test/try a mod to not advertise their game ( it's annoying when 3/4 of the games have only 1 people in it because they try a mod )

@Torrasque if you seem a passworded game with only one person in it whos ingame playing a new version of a mod wtf else are you supposed to think than, "hes trying out a new vsn of his mod", i mean ffs stop whinging (and griping X,x) about stupid small things! who cares if ppl advertise mods i mean 90% of the community play xta!
