Author Topic: [RTB Suggestion] Server Description on Information Tab  (Read 1038 times)

For RTB enabled servers, you can hit the information button to see who's on, if they're an admin, and the add-ons the server has.




It would be very useful for the host to be able to write a short, maybe 140 character description about what the server is all about, recent updates, a link to the topic, etc.. Many servers have odd names and the short title is not enough to say what it is. For example, a server named "Storm the Beach" could have a description like follows:

Code: [Select]
Storm the Beach

A WWII Normandy invasion server with American and national socialist teams, using NEKram's updated pack. The last update includes music, so make sure to enable downloading!

This is just an example. A text box could be added to the bottom with this short description. I don't think this would be too hard to implement and could provide more clarity, especially to players who don't see server topics on the forums.

I believe there is already a pref for this, but is not used...
Also, this would be something minor to add to rtb, but sounds cool!

I support this, and i think there should be a comment system on servers

I suggested this a looooooong time ago for default Blockland. Maybe it will finally be actually made!

This is a necessary addition.




I did this by modifying the code that tells the RTB server what add-ons you have so the right side would show a description instead lol

But that's not the right way to do this
Yah a description field would be nice
