These messages were sent to me via private message.

Only happens once per user. It's enough to screw over those of us distributing different lobbies with our games though.

So when I am on an auto host, it will pm me every time a user joins?

Why the message? what's goin on?

And make sure Juggler isn't running on non-ZK autohosts.

As far as I can tell, the message only gets sent once per user, ever. So it's not like it's endless awmagawd spam, but it is potentially damaging.

I think it's there to stay until they resolve the !join issue at least.

For some, the recommendation in that message would also mean switching the OS.

I just find it odd lobby type information can't be used to assume all juggler values are set to 0 for that player.

An unsettling abuse of power.

Because the juggler also closes games, not merely moving players.

This should only happen when you join a Zero-K Springie Host with Juggler active.

Juggler is disabled now anyway.

!join is needed for other springie commands like !splitplayers and !move

I think it should be kept until SL implements it.

its a good idea. it means ZK players are directed to use the ZK lobby, which has excellent support for ZK. people who dont join ZK autohosts dont receive this message. please explain how this affects dedicated EvoRTS players

IK, we run autohosts for EvoRTS, Gundam, S44 etc too, so they are affected.. all non BA autohosts is one springie instance maintained by ZK team..

Of course nothing stops people from having independent autohosts.

As soon as I can I will.

I am in your circus punching your clowns.

Licho, do you understand that by saying that you are essentially giving all of us the finger?

It's almost a declaration of war that no one wants (except possibly you). I don't understand why?

Yes, very much so when you turn it into an excuse to advertise ZK. This is something for you to take up with the SL devs. If you don't like that they haven't implemented it, you don't need to go and sabotage everyone else just because you're upset.

The user does not need to be informed at all. Obviously, if those lobbies don't have it implemented, the user doesn't even know that they exist or what they are. You can rationalize all you like, but it's obvious what the intent was, and that is what is an unsettling abuse of power.

How about this. Remove all references to Zero K Lobby and/or zk the game in that message, and leave the base message and we'll call it even steven.

when that is the only lobby that supports it, so he should do the following:

"your currently lobby does not support all of the host options"

how will the players know what lobby to use?

Well up until this point i acted nice for many many years, always supporting various projects and rarely taking anything back.

Eventually I came to a point where I needed little tiny tweak to SL - there is now even patch to do it .. and all I got was complaints, insane buroacracy and people calling me hitler.

Sorry but im done playing "nice". This message is there because people with SL break the juggler and I needed that fixed in any way possible as soon as possible - simple as that.

However because im not really that bad yet, just lazy, I give you 3 options:

1) wait until SL supports it
2) shut down this autohost (just let me know)
3) get someone to make a patch/change that warns for this only if the mod is zero-k.

Why are non-ZK autohosts even worried about the juggler?
