Better Serverlist

Description
Better Serverlist makes finding servers easy. This mod adds 4 new filters to your server browser: server name, current players, total slots and current free slots. It also comes with a lot of visual changes, font coloring for instance.

How do you use it? Well, lets say you wanted to find a server for you and one friend, you would then put the Free Slots slider to 2. You want to play on a server which holds at least 20 players so you put the Slots slider to 20 and you don't want to play on an empty server so you put the Players slider to 8 so you filter out server with less than 8 players on them. Or maybe you just want to play on one of the official servers, in which case you could just type UWE or official in the Server box.

Note: This has only been tested on 1920x1080 resolution so there is a chance it does not look right on other resolutions. 1920x1080 is the only resolution that will be supported.

Changelog:

- Fixed the bug where servers would disappear from the list

Hi, I love the mod. However, would you please add in a max players option. Personally, I don't want to play anything above 16 players. I'm not really sure how useful the min players slider is. Perhaps you could change that to max players instead. Thanks.

Needs to be updated to include new graphics options.

I wouldn't call that a feature really. More of a "I'm too lazy to figure out how to fix this so let's forget about it" kind of a deal. After some testing the problem really isn't that it finds servers so fast, because it's not all that fast, but rather because it keeps resorting the same items over and over again, making it flicker a lot. I will be looking more into it and throttling the updates like you said is something it might come down to.

The server list formatting not updating is a feature that the devs intentionally added because it would find servers and reformat the list so fast that it was hard to click on the server you wanted until all of the servers had been loaded.
Maybe make it so that the formatting updates once no more servers are found in the timespace of something like one second?

Yeah. The game does for whatever reason not fetch that information so it is not possible for me to show it. :)

Ah nevermind, Found it, I thought it would show list the names of current players, nevermind, thanks.

I shortened it to just players. It is above slots. What resolution are you running on?

I'm not quite sure if I've experienced lagginess like that. The whole server browser does seem kinda slow to me though and it is something I plan on looking into when I get the time. Most probably the refreshing is handled by the client and is nothing I can do about with just lua. But thanks for the comment again. :)
