New Server Browser/Server Features with OA?

Recommended Posts

Will there be a new server browser and server features included in OA.

It would be nice if the following things were added:

- Favourites List

- Redirect Download Ability (See Source Engine/UE: The ability to make mission files/addon files be downloaded to the client via a web or ftp server rather than the actual server sending files itself)

- Show game type (Mission uses ArmA2 Content, OA Content or Both so people can easily see which servers they can join depending on their game)

- Have a default mission loaded in constantly as an option (I don't know if I'm misconfiguring something, but I have one default mission configured on my server, but the server will not appear in the server list as running that mission until a player connects to it. Then it loads the mission and people can find the server easier. Once again if this is my fault, I appologize).

Add a list of your wanted server/server browser features too!

Why would you want a favourites list? It´s more fun clicking on filter, entering the name of the server you know so well, pressing return and getting the result that your favourite server is empty and that you have zero friends on facebook. :D

No honestly, plz make a fav list! even quake 3 arena had 1 already.

You used to be able to create a hosts.txt file with the IP's of your favourite servers and quickly browse those listed using the LAN tab, even though they werent on LAN

Alas another thing broken/removed

Would be great if You had an ingame mod launcher, not external to the game like we do now

Yeah, but it depends on how they integrate it, You'd need to be able to see what mods a mission running on a server requires and be able to select them from there. Servers sometimes run many more mods than required so they can change mission easily, I know ours does.
