Main Menu Update

Post by AncientMan »

Well, I'm posting this quick blog to get some opinions on from the community :)

First up, we have a news ticker, to replace the MOTD popup graphic. This rotates between 5 news items, and links to the right pages upon clicking them. I'm hoping that no one will miss the popup box :p.

Next up, we have an updated server browser. What I've done is removed the players and server message/graphic from the main screen, extended the server list, and put all the other stuff in a popup window that comes up when you click on a server then click on a server info button. It's still pretty WIP atm, but I'm hoping that people will like the extended server list, and if they want to see who's playing, etc, they'll be fine with clicking a button to get it to come up.

So, what do you think, do you like the changes I'm working on?

I found this sentence quite funny and since this is a war game forum I will put it here. No offense to the french just a good laugh.

That's spot on, can't wait :D Is it possible to make the vertical text on the left fade like the border does as it gets to the picture? Make it look 10x sexier :D

thats really good, but I was hopping the populated/unpopulated server filter was going to make a reappearance.

Seriously, it is REALLY that hard to sort by players, or type 1 in the players box and press enter?

Only time I've ever went to the top of the box is to sort by who has anyone in it or not, and half the time its to see if TG is full or not
Oh yeah can we get anew main menu video? Seieng the APC destroy the building is annoying!
