Names in chat are now clickable, so you can get a context menu for the player without having to search thru the users list.

You can also mark someone as a friend from their context menu. You'll be notified when friends login or out, and you can see a list of those that are logged in by clicking the Friends button in the My Gang window.

Also, make sure you're aware of all that can be done with this new 'My Gang' window, and by clicking a user name (e.g. view someone's squads and join them, add and remove cars from squads, set travel and scouting orders can all be done in the lobby now).. I have seen new players being told to go to the website when they don't need to be.

I'm working on adding more features 'in lobby'.. next up will be adding and removing characters from cars, adding ammo, and access to the marketplace.

and.. oh yeah.. I figured out the lobbyserver crash problem! It's been running without issue since 1.15 am today :-)

Basically if someone switched off their PC while logged in, the server would then wait for ever trying to send data to them.

This would need to posted into the "news" section of the game client at some point Sam. It is outdated at the moment. :rolleyes:

Good work so far on everything Sam. The place is really hopping with new players.

I like the fact that if you are AFK your name drops down to the bottom of the Users in Lobby list, but seeing this, and seeing the sheer volume of chat that can come flying through the lobby, might it not be possible to put anyone seeking/assembling a scout at the top of the list.

That way if you just got back from an event and you want to go scouting you don't have to look too hard for who is setting up a scout as it will be right in front of you and not way up the chat and out of sight.

Experiencing crashes while helping new players, without playing.
This may be the problem:

Code:

The new in client features are great. But for me at least it seems more time consuming. Maybe because I'm just used to the old way. I only noticed one glitch where the website showed 1 HMG and 2 MML ammo in one of my cars but the client version only showed 2 MML. I'll keep an eye out for any reoccurrence and try to establish a pattern if it isn't an isolated occurrence.

SUGGESTION: add a way to access the SS marketplace P2P trades from the client. I tried giving some new guys some stuff to hook... I mean HELP (heh heh) them more and only 2 of the 5 I spoke to had any clue how to use the market. I was unable to help the other 3. Not sure if they just didn't try, or were too busy, or if my explanation was confusing.

We need you to add this to notices from events, so we can contact people that are not chatting, while we Marhsals are in events.
For example: ** MickeyMouse returned from event 666 **
