Wait for host lobby button/option/flag

G'day all,

While looking at the other thread about the supriseMeNow button I thought up an idea which I think would be very useful.

I would like a button or a tickbox or some way to select a game that is active, so that when the game ends you auto join the game.

Even better would be if you could nominate multiple games that are being hosted that you could join when they close.

In addition once in the game, the ability to monitor when someone leaves the game or changes to spectator and auto un-spectate.

The reason for this is because the times when I'm on there are bugger all games being played. often only one and sometimes only two games with a decent number of players in the game. I tend to try and watch for when the game finishes so I can join, but invariably by the time I realise it's finished I have missed the available spots.

Just a thought, maybe it's stupid... but I thought it would be good.

A sound alert and/or a dialog would be kewl to draw your attention to the fact that you have joined a game that you were waiting for.

Also of note, quite a few games have this feature.

If you right click on battles that are in game in aflobby theres notify option. If you click it AFLobby pops up the little window in the corner telling you when its opened.

Ahh ok... no worries. when I have time after this project that will never end finishes at work I'll look at enhancing it if your interested.

Would be nice to have this in TASClient as well.
