*Nice* overhaul to the MP interface w/ v1.54

[walker 0]

Hi kylania

There is nothing to stop you looking at ping and deciding a particular server is not for you. I am just talking about the default ordering, that a new to ArmA player sees. And you will still be able to change order by ping.

I just want to help get rid of the myth of unpopulated ArmA MP servers that comes from the current default ordering.

I noticed I was ordering by players automaticly when I started up the browser, I asked around so was everyone else, and it had become so automatic we did not notice we were doing it. While that is fine for old hand at BIS's OFP and ArmA games; it is not ideal for new players who do not even know you can change ordering by clicking the heading. And only see the empty and often laggy as soon as they fill up client servers of people who live next door to them, rather than the fuller faster servers of the larger communities.

Kind Regards walker

BIS, is there any chance for FAVOURITE option/list? It would work as ONLINE/LAN modes work. It's the one of last things which MP browser lacks of.

Nevertheless, I like the expanded MP browser :)

Hmm sorting only full servers first would reduce player counts to the smaller servers... maybe even cut ANY public presence. The current MP interface is a welcome change though.

why does 1.54 now list most of the servers with a (?)

AFAIK the yellow ? icon means the server is running mods which you do not have, so you may or may not be able to play there (depending on what those mods are).

the mission voting dialog is a right mess for me... the mission/difficulty list appears over the top of the island choice dialog.
