Customization on Server List (front page)

[Canadian*Sniper]

Was wondering if you were up to tinkering with the server page so servers that:
a) have an admin reserved spot (example, shmack)
b) have only that admin reserved spot online

..don't appear above servers that actually have players in them.

maybe give servers that actually have players in them a different font? Just a suggestion

Maybe I'm slow and out of date, or just too techie, but how are we supposed to copy the server address when it appears in little window beside the mouse? Not a complaint, just so you know. I haven't even taken the time to install Quake on this PC yet, because it's 50 miles away and I don't care what you say about it being the 2nd thing you find in Google, it aint!

You're not supposed to copy? You're supposed to remember or write it down... you can't copy/paste into quake anyways, so what good is copying it do? All server addresses appear inline on the main server list

Ah, I forgot about the main server list, never go there much. And yes, you can paste in most modified engines of Quake.

Wow you can copy/paste in qrack Neato. lol

And you may have not gone to the server list much because it was just launched late last week.

You can do that in ProQuake, JoeQuake and DarkPlaces as well. Probably a lot of other engines as well.

Like Steve said, the full page server browser has only been available for about 4 days.

Eventually there is going to be a direct connect button. Click on a button and it will connect you to the server.

proquake allows you to paste copy from website, paste in quake

so what are your thoughts sole? (refering to the actual thread topic ;P)

Actually I thought it was the old server list, I just now took a look at it and it's much different. Good job guys!

In php code (which is how I manipulate the server data) how would I distinguish between a normal player and an admin player? Say, for example, for each server I can enter a username for an admin player. What if a normal player uses that name? I'll be blocking them as well then. I suppose I could check time of connection but for admin users won't that rest to 0 after 999hours (or minutes, whatever)?

I don't know how you're doing it already but I guess you could have an extra attribute for a qserver that's true/false is it has an admin player in it. Then you just use a few checks to distinguish between admin spot servers and empty servers

Might seem like a lot of work but hey, it's a suggestion

[Solecord]

For some reason when I was originally thinking about this I thought I'd need to distinguish the actual admin spot from basic users. I guess I really don't need to do that, just specify if a server has an admin slot or not...

hehe, I tend to think of the simplest solution when it's not me writing the code

Of course you're first thought would be the most efficient if there were servers that are dynamically changing
