Err it is already sorted by players in the server (if you have scripts 3.x, else its sorted on name). It just doesn't count GSA players and such (and no we can't possibly fix that).

Removing gameplay pending is server side, can already be done but is not wanted at all by some servers (e.g. servers with an own ladder system).

Detonating c4's one by one: ermmm, just place one instead of 15 and detonate it? This would change gameplay, so won't happen IMO.

Server list: GSA already exists, there's no use for this. If servers aren't on GSA, it's prolly for a good reason.

Ah, ok. I must have an older version then.

Come to think of it, I haven't updated my scripts in a long time..

edit: Okay, nice, works like it should now. Smile

If I remember correctly the FDS already stores the current players within the channel topic that is set. So if you simply made the client get the number of players from the topic instead of XWIS then it would fix it.

And if I am wrong about it already being in the topic, then it still wouldn't be too hard to add it to it.

Only downside is servers could then lie about there player count. Which might make it not worth doing.

Would be best if XWIS would fix it on their end.

To get the correct player count you need to join the channel first. The Xwis server listing(topics) displays only Xwis connected clients, then on channel join the full list of players and the count (even player IPs lawl ) gets sent. That's why when you "join" the game, before actually loading/connecting to it you can actually see the full list of player names.

The FDS sets the channel topic which is used for game info such as title and map, all you would have to do is have the FDS set the current players in this topic(if it isn't already there, i think it may be) and then instruct the game client to retrieve the current players from the topic instead of the current way it gets it.

The FDS only sets the max players afaik.The player count is tracked by xwis when a player enters the game channel.

Only the max players are in the topic. Even if the current player count were added, anything put in the topic is easily hacked, therefore it can't be used as a primary sort.

I'm the bawss.

Give servers that try it an XWIS ban, I'm sure not many (who are able to at all) will try.

Servers tend to be fixed IPs to prevent having to wait for address changes to propagate through DNS servers.

IP ban?
