should we have a popup that let player knows that servers without the checkmark are hosted by others and can not guarantee to be safe. maybe show it when people first click on internet.
09:59
but that does mean gatekeeping teeworlds contents from new players which is a huge down side

Teeworlds people already blame us for murdering their game :D

that's what i mean
10:01
but sometime i feel like it is necessary
Avatar
is the checkmark not obvious enough? xd (edited)
10:02
but we can add a tooltip for the checkmarks
Avatar
Maybe a tooltip on the column?
Avatar
I actually didn't even notice some servers had checkmarks until the checkmark design was changed and I saw the pull request. maybe I'm just blind (edited)
Avatar
A popup when you first click the internet tab isnt too too annoying either
Avatar
i hate popups xD bcs i see "ACCEPT COOKIES" popups every day xD
Avatar
👀 and can we have server list subscription? like we can let people subscribe to a url of ours so they know we hosted the server on the list. like a customizable tab.

You need to learn to love the accept cookies popup. Think of it as the first shot in humanities war against corporations

@Learath2 i think we shouldnt add a tooltip
10:07
its too unfair rn

we should add a form appliance to get the checkmark

unique clan servers should get it

or that

but still, people maybe not see the checkmarks or don't understand what it means

are checkmarks used in chinese internet?
10:08
i mean in western stuff its used everywhere pretty much

Mh, I guess it could work, but it creates alternate hubs of trust we cant manage. E.g. someone shares a subscribe link, they stop hosting servers after a while, someone else buys the domain, now they can sneak their servers into your list
Avatar
well if they went with the effort of adding the link then they probably trust it. just give it the same treatment of internet if we do add popups.
10:10
I mean the hud change broke my heart really, so I don't really care if we move too far away from teeworlds at this point.

Hm, the tick was supposed to be a mark for official servers, not trusted servers. I guess we could think about expanding the meaning of it

rename kog to community
10:12
and add them there
Avatar
doesn't kog already add other servers to their tab, how do they even do that?
Avatar
ddnet manages it
10:14
so they have to submit all their servers to deen when they add new ones?
Avatar
Or me

That tab was a stopgap measure because we didnt have http masters, it might be time to remove it
Avatar
as a gores player I really like the tab it's very convenient 😅
Avatar
The current situation is unfair to good faith server owners whose servers don't have the checkmark, a more healthy way is to provide a way to apply to have the checkmark or be added to this new tab so they have easier discoverability and users are not scared to join. One example is unique servers: https://uniqueclan.net/

btw couldnt we add like a "auth" password to http register server process, so "community" servers are automatically in the tab
10:16
or does that already exists

It doesn't but it could be added yeah

A bearer token that gets converted to "category": "kog" by the masterserver
Avatar
"Community" is a little confusing isn't it? Are all the servers that are not officially verified not part of the community? idk if there's any better name though
Avatar
trusted, community whatever
10:18
i mean "trusted" is wrong anyway

That way we have some sort of control over what is verified, e.g. a token leak, or a owner change

"slightly trusted" xd

"Should(tm) be fine(tm) we hope"

"community" might make sense if we consider the player base Kog is a community block is a community city is a community
10:20
and hosting your own fng or block server doesnt directly build a community around your server
Avatar
yeah dont name the tab kog
Avatar
I was hoping we can also let network owners group their servers a bit
Avatar
we can add a tag
10:21
to the http master
10:21
or tags
Avatar
Yep, we should ask heinrich
Avatar
maybe consider how other similar games handle server browser. Like garry's mod
10:23
but there should always be a list without categories
10:23
imho

that's the "Legacy Browsing" button xd

I assume the servers get to choose any gamemode and then the client filters them into the lists
10:28
garrys mod has no verification, I wonder how they prevent people from faking player numbers to get to the top of the list

I wish those buttons on the bottom for filter/friends/info were bigger, it's annoying to click them (edited)

maybe I should pr

i generally find our UI too big tbh xD
10:38
the screenshot is also modified, its not original sizes
10:38
Avatar
I guess but often I double click on a friend to highlight their server and then go to info to see who else is in the server, then go back to the friend tab and repeat
10:40
if friends and player list was on the same tab I guess that would fix the problem

let them make their own searches and bookmark them i guess

there are fake servers tho
Avatar
speaking of tags in http master, what can be good is that the client can translate it because I think that some do not understand novice, moderate

Easy: "Can I Play, Daddy?" Moderate: "Don't Hurt Me" Hard: "Bring 'Em On" This is what it should be

really agree with this
21:46
there's a lot of UI that feels like extra space is used in an ineffective way
21:46
for example, the Reason field for call vote is small and easy to miss, but often needed to make use of the feature
21:47
i have always wanted a compact friends list. i don't care about clans and even stripping them from ddnet.cfg still remains 2 lines tall
21:47
for server and friends tab
21:48
i also think the editor would benefit from a ton of QOL but I don't think that's many ppls focus nowadays
21:49
i also still miss ui_scale
21:49
being able to see servers bigger was so nice

ux and ui design is hard af

meh, certain resolutions things don't need to touch edge of screen

simple menus like esc

we don't have css so it's too annoying for now
