Author Topic: Standardized Server Labels  (Read 1057 times)

Anyone else think we need some sort of system of organizing servers?  This isn't a request or suggestion, it's just a thought im putting out there.  I'm tired of going into a server that said something like "Russian War ..." Have it cut off due to text amount limitations on the default unexpanded window size, and it ends up being "Russian War RP" instead of what i thought was a TDM.

I'm saying that a Blocklander-started system should be developed that starts the server name with RP, TDM, DM, etc then follows with the server name, instead of ending the name with RP, TDM, DM so as to reduce confusion.

Better yet, in the next Blockland update, have an input option in the server menu where you can enter the type of server it is, RP, TDM, DM, and that shows up to the left of the server's host's name.

Either system would work, the acronyms would be as follows

TDM- Team death match (duh)
DM- Death match
RP- Role Play for rp's that you 'pretend', like Family RP
RPG- Role Playing Game for City RPG type games
CO- Co-Op games like for Zombies or Firefight games

Those are all of the over-all game types i can think of.

*doesn't this go into suggestions?*

Anyways, how about just make it so that you can put in what ever acronym you wanted?

FREE - Freebuild.
TDM+ - Team deatchmatch with another game mode, such as CTF or territories.

I think this would be very convenient to have

What if the creator could type anything, but 4 characters max? Because Blockland is a sandbox game and people come up with new types of games all the time.

Really awesome idea +support

stuff

i have always thought we needed a tag system.

when creating your server you select your user size and type a name of course.
then select from a drop-down list, common tags to use.

TDM
RPG
City
Fantasy
Freebuild
Vehicle -race - fly
Puzzle - obstacle course
Treasure hunt
Clan
Newb players
Custom game mode


then we would see something like;

Bisjac's Makout Party <City><Freebuild><TDM> 2/16 players 105k bricks

or however you can use filters to find tagged games

Bisjac is so completely right.

That may not be the best idea, but it could work.

Most likely end up with swears (forget,stuff,nigr ect.) or "JOIN"

EDIT: if it was censored like e-tard (because <12 y/o play this game) then it could come in handy for clan servers too.

Why not include theme tags aswell?

Ie: Space, Western, Modern, Apocalyptic, War, Mountains, Desert, etc.
