Make it so that server listings are listed by most players in the server and not the hostname as default.

cheers nightma, I'm sure you'll be the first to reply.

That wouldn't stop them for long. Then they would change their servers to lie to WOL, telling it that it can host 128 players.

After which they would set up a script to kick anyone joining over their normal server limit. It's the same old shit just regurgitated into a new system. Find another game that doesn't suck as hard as Renegade, or deal with it by hitting that little button that changes the listing to player count by yourself.

Sort on ping, I think that's harder to trick.

Size doesn't matter.

I hope so Razz

If you could indeed sort the players by the actual amount of players in the server, it would be very nice.

Is this a war to see who can get the most populated server? If I turned my server back on, and I listed in:

Players
Ping
Hostname

I'd always be at the top in:

Ping (My server is the best ping on WOL for me, kthxdieplz)
Hostname (not the VERY top, but near)
Players (If it's full)

Either way, I'm not bothered.

Alkaline


most players in the server


So even you have 128 players and its empty it won't show up on top. It would go by most players actively playing in the server.

You can't set up the game to do that, it's hard coded.

it can be changed even though it is hard coded. CP1 should make this change.

No changes are being done to CP1 at this point. It's been done for a few days, and waiting for Crimson to launch tbe public beta test.

Maybe you could fix that in the next version..
I also think it should be set to ping Smile (even though most servers have the same ping (which is a bug i guess...))

btw... shouldnt this topic be in the BHS forum instead of RG?

The beta test of CP1 is of course going to be a lot better than the preview version Fanmaps.net hosts?

I think I'm the weirdest out of all of you, I sort by "laddered."
