Has BHS ever considered fixing the pistol reload thing?
|
We can't fix this bug... either because only Core Patch users would have it or because it would cause a version mismatch on unpatched clients. I can't remember which.
I'm the bawss.

This is true up till a certain point, and then it doesn't matter. Generic servers need A0000 names, heavily customized servers don't.
E.G.
Black-cell servers don't need A000 names, their server is unique. ZUnnies Co-op doens't need these either.UN New Maps doens't as well (I just simply choose an A0 name to have both GSA (yes GSA needs an a000 name...)+New Maps close together in the listing)
Its when you have servers which are clones of each other they need to compete for players. Most server owners have no choice but to do this to get players, even though people who are lazy to scroll down are n00bs.
As for its lame, well get used to it, or make it so that the server listing isn't sorting by player but by PING in game players. Btw ingame player thing will kill wolspy players, because on the listing the xwis server doens't report any renip/ase/gamespy/directConnect players in game, which is why you see 6/40 on new maps in the listing, but when you join the channel their are like 34/40 or so players. Wol players are stupid and dont' bother downloading anything new, hence 70% of traffic on new maps is from places outside wol.

A 1.038 patch to make it auto-sort by ping would be the best(only real) solution. But unless strike team can deliver patches I can't see that happening.
|
ping would be the best, becouse you cant change your ping..

Yeah, but then Strike Team would need to fix whatever is causing so many servers to have 999 pings.

They need to have a way to add server to favorites like in gamespy and have those allways on top of your particular listing similiar to gamespy.

At the euro WOL listing we already had the same problems: we never had any green pings, mostly red and some yellow even though the server I played on was located in my country...
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

What he says^
Last time I had green ping's was before the takeover. I think it was Feb2003 That's when I would see pings varieing from 26 - 120
Now a days. I'm talking the last 2 years even my own server would show up a with a 150 ping while it's 60-120 ingame ish.
And I haven't seen a green maybe once in a blue moon.
I was really happy when I saw the 0 ping's in the server list at the start of xwis.

What about a firewall, if configured right it blocks ICMP? or if you let them trough would't that really show the actually ping? Let's assume your behind a hardware firewall/software. It blocks the icmp request therefore giving it 0 ping/999?
I am just wondering because if I have it to block ICMP I will get that kind of pings too :/

Either way, I didn't change anything from WOL to XWIS. I even tried with WOLproxy and without and I still show up with 996 ping. And I doubt all of us server owners who are now showing up with that ping all simultaneously made some change...
I'm the bawss.

Yeah only one problem with that
With XWIS it doesnt show how many players are actually in the server if there are players from GSA,ASE or Direct Connect in the game aswell.
So you might have a server that is WOL only which has 8 players (being the top of the list)
And having a server that only has 3 WOL players but the server actually has like 40 players and that gonna be at the bottom of the list.

Thats my way to handle it:
