There's some more lobby tweaks in here, many of which were suggestions following the recent changes - colour coding users, tagging event types in 'live' list, etc.

Also you will now see a 'Join Event' option when you right-click a user who's in a live event, so you can join the same event without needing any detective work.

Wonderful!

However, Sam, one thing I'm wondering: I am a very well-endowed player, and my... hrm, screen area is *very* large.

Something that would be very practical would be to have the option to show live events and upcoming events as two separate lists, side-by-side. Not only would it make good use of the empty space, but also make it possible for us to see just about all event info at once.

Also, the "scenes of Evan" element is a very nice addition. But I believe it would look even better with a small frame, as the screenshots now stand out just a bit too sharply against the client colours around it.

Heh, we Darkwind players... never satisfied in our search for perfection, eh? ;)

Would also like to see a forum news feed plugin for lobby.

B)I LOVE the new lobby! It is really great to see who is in what event. The colors changes for AFK and in event is a real improvement as well as tabs for upcoming events and live events.

And how would the game know from which angle and position to take these shots?  ;)

Cool idea, though.

Have a set of pre-defined viewing angles relative to active vehicles.  The server picks a random active vehicle from an ongoing event, randomly selects one of the pre-defined viewing angles, and does a screen capture.

You make it sound so easy  :rolleyes:
The server doesn't do screen captures, since it knows nothing of this thing we humans call graphics. It's a world purely of physics and dicerolls, to the server.

The idea is great though, it would have to go along the lines of: screenshot captured from client, automatically bounced off lobby server to other clients so they can show it. But then that makes it sound very easy too..  :rolleyes:

I love the new look.

If possible the solution to make everyone happy is draggable sizes on all the windows. As everyone is going to like different windows more prominent. Someone already mentioned this, im just seconding it if that is not a big hassle. Otherwise I like the way it is very much.

I remember when they wanted to do a top ten of all sites visited besides web portals and it was mostly porn. needless to say they scraped the idea.

pornhub is in the top 60 of all sites visited

how feasible ? having the scenes of evan replaced by an event window, which is basically a minimised normal event screen all the functions etc, and option to join full screen with chat facility, just be cool to remain in lobby and have a watchable mini event going on
