Server Browser missing a few things

Post by **rebb** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 11:59 am

The InGame Server Browser is missing a few essential features imho.

First it shouldnt automaticall re-update the whole Server-List when having gone into another menu, and then going back to the Server-Browser.

Second, it needs a "Stop Update" Button that allows for a controlled update, so one doesnt always have to wait for every Server to be refreshed. Given there will be even more Servers coming up in the Future, this Update Process will likely take longer and longer.

And it needs a filter options.. ie. locked servers, ping, pb, gametype, players.

So you can't press the space bar to stop the list update or smthg?

Seems they really put in the bare minimum of functionality.

There is a Filter ... but it is very bad ... you can Sort the servers by ping, mode, map a.s.o.
I'm waiting for the compatiblity with Allseeing eye and then i ill never use the serverbrowser more

yes ok ... but all the in-game browsers are crap ... get allseeing eye or others ... they are much better

Post by **TwR|Slice** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 4:11 pm

So i made a filter but it does not work ... if anyone knows why please post

Code: Select all

Quake 4
ServerType: Quake 4
RegKey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Id\Quake 4\INSTALLPATH
ExeName: Quake4.EXE
JoinTemplate: {EXEPATH}[ +set fs_game "{game}"][ +exec "{CONFIG}"][ +name "{NAME}"][ +password "{PASSWORD}"][ +rconpassword "{RCON_PASSWORD}"] +connect {address}
SpecTemplate: {EXEPATH}[ +set fs_game "{game}"][ +exec "{CONFIG}"][ +name "{NAME}"][ +password "{PASSWORD}"][ +rconpassword "{RCON_PASSWORD}"] +setu team s +connect {address}
HostTemplate: {EXEPATH}
Port: 28004
Maps: QUAKE4
Mutex: SV
Icon: IDI_Q3
1 if servertype != "Quake 4*" remove

Quake 4\q4base
JoinTemplate: {EXEPATH}[ +exec "{CONFIG}"][ +name "{NAME}"][ +password "{PASSWORD}"][ +rconpassword "{RCON_PASSWORD}"] +connect {address}
Mutex: Q4GAME
1 if game ~!= "q4base" remove
2 if g_enableDust != "" remove
3 if gameversion == "OSP*" remove

Quake 4\q4base\DM
Mutex: Q4BASE
1 if si_gametype != "DM" remove

Quake 4\q4base\Turney
Mutex: Q4BASE
1 if si_gametype != "turney" remove

Quake 4\q4base\Team DM
Mutex: Q4BASE
1 if si_gametype != "team dm" remove

Quake 4\q4base\CTF
Mutex: Q4BASE
1 if si_gametype != "CTF" remove

Quake 4\q4base\Arena CTF
Mutex: Q4BASE
1 if si_gametype != "arena ctf" remove

I updated the Quake 3: Arena filters to q4 but there is no serverdisplayed ... if anyone can help ... do it

ok forget everything i wrote above ...
the scanning servers of eye are not yet prepared for Q4 so my filter gets no response ...
