Spring RTS Engine

This may be MTR, also may already be implemented, but can we please have a way to see the ingame time for hosted games?

For certain mods (XTA) there are very few hosts (one - TMO) and it'd be nice to be able to estimate how long you'll be waiting around for the next game to start.

are you talking about ingame time, as in the spring game (this is available through lua stuff already, don´t know how its called, but i have it on). or are you talking about how long you are waiting in the lobby for a game to start already?

Springie says the ingame time when you join the room if the battle is going on. That doesn't help if you join a human host, but it sounds like you were referring to an autohost anyway.

i dont mean ingame time as in /ingame

A player hosts a game and they start. I join the lobby. I see the game is hosted, but it has already started so I cant join. I want to know how long they have been playing that particular game.

not just for AH but for anyone hosting an mod

With Springie autohosts you can use !springie and it will tell you how long the game has been running.

+1 for client integration

Well integrating this would involve server and protocol changes...how about a bot that tracks games in progress and PMs that information on command?
