Join a game once finished/unlocked
Posted: 08 Sep 2008, 00:05
Okay, so maybe the new TASClient should include the ability to auto join a game once its unlocked or out of a game.
This would mean i could get on with work while my Client does the checking for me.
This could also expand into what rules and maps you want to play, and if all of these are filled, you will auto join a open game, or the client will continue to scan hosts until there is such a game.
E.g. BA players could simply tick
Mod : BA
Map: *
Players: 6+
This would auto join you to any game that has these settings.
* meaning anything.
Edit:
I was thinking how usefull this would be...
Think of it this way.
People Spam in main because they want people to join games, download maps and mods ect.
IF we added this addition there would be no need for people to spam anymore because your host would fill up if you fill out required feilds such as maps and mods.
This could be connected to a downloader somehow, so that youd download mods you dont have if you whish to leave the mod section * (empty) so that map and players feilds would be filled for your client to know what type of games you want.
The MAIN Reason why Spring hasn't got that many players is that people dont want to wait around to wait for non-BA games to fill up, because there is only a limited amount of times you can play that game before you get tired of it.
Spring isn't a one mode game, it has mods that change every day. If people only play one mod, one type of balance ect. We are no better than red alert 1 for example.
We are better than this game because of diffrences in mods.
Adding this feature would be like adding a quick join like you see on other online games.
Rant/Request Feature over :)
