Chaotic Dreams

it's kinda boring nowadays...

the only real big stuff I looked for was Evarena and COR.( I love robots. what can I say? especially giant ones!)

Well there is not really any CUT2 servwers, a mech mut for UT2k4 would be neat.

There are at least 4 Chaos servers running right now.

As I have mentioned many times before in the past, it would much behoove the mod to have a single tab for all servers running CUT, however it seems I'm being ignored.

If all gametypes were under a single tab, people would be able to get on servers quicker and without having to search for CUT servers, new players would have a better experience, and those with server experience would see the few servers there are being used and you'd see more servers popping up.

It hasn't been ignored... but it hasn't been done either.

Well, Jb said that it wouldn't be too hard to implement, so why not? Seems like a logical thing to do to bolster the community .

The idea is not hard just its not the way that epic set up their server broswer. The idea it self was simple. So we the idea to get our ChaosCTF game to list both vCTF and normal CTF map but that required us to re-write most of that code as Epic never allowed for it. So I am not sure how much work it will take or wont take to do this. I have to look at this as time envestment vrs trade off. If I spend the time to do this will it work ok and if so how much willl it improve vrs the fact that If I am doing this then other parts of the code are not getting worked on... thus its a matter of which is more important to do atm... follow?

I must have misread something you said in a previous thread about it I posted, sorry. I was under the impression that it wouldn't be too hard to do. However, I personally think that this is a very much needed addition if we ever intend on a larger CUT2 fanbase .

EDIT: Would an optional check to make the game ping all game tabs (invisibly) and then list them all be possible? Optional in case you don't want the lag.
