Please update TASClient installer description

[Masure]

Here's the current content :

TASClient is the old multiplayer battleroom, which is now unmaintained and partially outdated. Can still be user to set up multiplayer games without bots.

Which is almost totaly wrong. Let's see :

TASClient is the old multiplayer battleroom

Why not. Although it is pejorative. You can say it is not official.

which is now unmaintained

Wrong

partially outdated

Wrong

Can still be user

Mispelling

Can still be user to set up multiplayer games without bots.

Wrong. You can play with bots for ages. It also has a dedicated single player frontend to play against bots.


SO PLEASE MAKE A TEXT PROPOSAL TO CORRECT THAT.

Code: Select all

TASClient is the classic multiplayer battleroom, which includes a current singleplayer frontend for skirmish play in addition to the timeworn lobby client. An alternative for the experienced user.

i'll do the change, though i will chnage that with the experienced user somehow.

couldnt we add a button for more informations (e.g. pics, pros /cons of the lobby)?

[hoijui]

sections now read:
SpringLobby:

The default, cross-platform battleroom used to set up single- and multiplayer games and finding opponents.
Note: You must install either TASClient or SpringLobby to play.

TASClient:

The classic, windows only battleroom, includes news showcast and other extras.

@manolo
maybe possible, but way to much work, plus lobby devs had no access to it, but had to ask engine devs for every little change... way too unpractical. would probably be done best with just inserting a link to the homepages.

if Lobby devs want that, or want to have the description changed from what i posted here, hit me.

I really don't care, no one reads descriptions in installer anyways.

there is no news in tasclient anymore because forb is too nOOb to maintain his website correctly

that's not true at all, power users always read the description to not install the spam crap a lot installers include by default

if you don't remove the huge top banner of springinfo.info/tasclient.php i'll just remove the news from tasclient ... don't even ask why

So having the name at the top isn't maintaining it correctly? Or maybe you're referring to the website that I run and work on in my spare time (which I haven't had any lately), or maybe you're referring to the community website that I started in order to get some decent info out to newbies and help people out with what is going on around here (without having to scour forums), or maybe you're referring to the website I started in order to properly advertise things in spring to new or prospective users...

Yeah, real mismanagement going on here. Oh btw thanks to the rest of the community for helping me out with it... Oh wait, the community didn't. Wow I should feel really bad for not constantly updating it because I obviously don't have a life or a job that is more important...

Satirik has full control over what he nabs from forbs site, there's nothing stopping him from doing a search and replace on the downloaded html to remove the banner before putting it in tasclient.
