Would it be nice to colour the bars with playername & lifeform icons according to skill?
It would show in a faster glance what those players say their skill is.
Of course its more important if the usually higher div folk who pick the teams agree its useful, but I do not see why not.


Just need to be mindful of the lack of space on mobile, but yeah should probably be a small skill indicator somewhere. Other people brought this up


As for the gather ready music playing, perhaps if you mute/unmute it acts as a stop button rather then a mute button?


Yup, revamping the sound code


Join server button didnt work for me. Steam couldnt find the server. I assume its the master browser as it usually is.
May consider a 2nd link which connects directly, but ns2 needs to be closed for that.


That's my bad, my dev machine is not the same as my gaming pc. So not so straightforward to test out

steam://run/4920//+connect 158.85.65.172:27017 +password pug

My ego demands I can do better. :P


If you use the steam master browser you need the query port of the server. This allows you to query how many are connected, etc. If your client(s) use a master browser which, at that moment, is crap then they may not be able to connect. Result due to this may vary.
NS2 can be open for this one.

steam://connect/ServerNameOrIP:QueryPort/PasswordIfAny


If you want to connect to NS2 directly you do this by the game port. A query of playercount is not possible. This bypasses any masterbrowser issues.
NS2 can not be open for this link, as it starts up NS2.

steam://run/4920//"connect%20ServerNameOrIP:GamePort%20PasswordIfAny"

Note that if you feed the connect command directly into NS2, your string wil become MUCH more painful. You can, for example, not use spaces. You need to use %20 instead.
Also note the connect part must be in " "


The commands mentioned in the previous post with + signs may not work in all external applications, which testing showed matters.

Uhm.. gratz? But I am being serious, its app dependant. Certain programs behave differently. One program may swallow the spaces, the other does not.
Does that make sense? No. But thats how it is. :)

It was a interesting evening when I set out to look at these links a while back. ;)

Can we get it so the "Join Gather" button doesn't move every time someone joins?

If people regather the button likes to run down the page really quickly.

I've had a weird bug now twice where the page won't update once captains are picked until I refresh it.

I like the idea, but I'd say putting division after team instead of elo would be much more useful.

I say ELO is important

Especially now that people are not allowed to steal it anymore

Would be nice if your name was highlighted once you were picked for a team.

And someone mentioned that server vote could be replaced with IP location. Making that part automatic.

I don't like the idea of automatic server vote. Unnecessary imo, and could actually result in you getting a worse server (e.g. mostly NA players so EU players vote Toronto to beat Dallas).

Would it maybe be possible to have an individual option for each player to set what server he automatically wants to vote for if he joins the gather?
I don't know how hard that would be to implement but it would solve the problem of people forgetting to vote for servers/maps.
Also if people don't want it to vote automatically they don't have to set the option up, or just change the vote whenever they join the gather.

Would be nice if the gather page stopped playing a song before playing a song.

Happens that people leave and rejoin the gather. Making the music play twice. And sometimes more. If you don't stop it manually each time. And then you have to press pause for each time the song have begun playing.

Progress is slow, backlog is building while I rewrite the frontend to lay the groundwork for future improvements. I can only do this in my free time when I have the energy to fit the app in my head again and do things. Next build is a big one (I'm probably around 50% done)



Latest progress is mostly happening in this mega branch over here: https://github.com/cblanc/sws_gathers/tree/brunchify

I know the wait is painful. Here's some floof in the meantime
