Would it be possible to be able to favourite servers, nothing fancy, maybe just have a "Favourite" button along the bottom of the screen with all of the other ones and when you highlight a server you can can click it and next time you log on that server will appear at the top of the list. Would be nice considering all of the server name business.

And just for clarifications sake, will the servers be ordered by amount of players by default?

It'll be like scripts 3.4.4, I seem to recall, so yes: by amount of active xwis players in the channel.

Favorites are indeed confirmed. Sorting will not be as in 3.4.4. It will have a few sorting rules:
- Sort favorites on top.
- Sort by dedicated/passworded/clan/version/map mismatch flags (Not sure in what order that happens currently).
- Sort by ingame player count.
- Sort by max player count.

Excellent, thanks

Agreed, but the 'Sort by MAX player count' seems pretty useless. Seems that when a server runs 62 players but is empty shows on top then. Who would join that? >.>
Adding the favorites is much appreciated here ^^

it will only be sorting by max player count after its sorted by ingame player count (so 3 servers with 5 people in them will be sorted by max player count)

It's true that servers with a 126 max player count will end up on top though. Don't really think that's desirable. However, I don't think there's something better to sort on... Perhaps just random.

Sort on max player count ascending. Meaning if 2 server have 20 players in it each, the one that's most filled will be just above the other one. It makes sense. If I want to join a server with 20 players in it rather than a server with 30 players in it, I'll choose the one that's closest to full with those 20 players.
This should be very rare anyway, as it's the 4th element in the line.

Passworded never need to be shown on top, nor need non dedicated serevr to be: people that want to join those are looking for them. So what Seye says makes sense .
|
Organize by population, have the people that are looking for you send you an invite. I'd much rather not look at Renegade's bounty of empty servers.
I'd think it made a lot more sense to sort empty servers by ping.

It's pretty easy, things like clan,non dedicated, passworded servers are generally not intended for everyone so are moved down on the list. so on top you have the servers you're most probable to join. At the very top you'll have servers which are your favorite. After that you'll get the servers sorted by playercount.
