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. :)

Only other problem I have with it now is that it's somewhat laggy. As in when you hover your mouse up and down over the server list the whole thing starts freezing. I feel like that's something for the devs to fix which is why I didn't mention it.

Thanks for the input Alex. "Pretty much" meaning there's something you would like to be added? :)

Just want to say thanks - this adds pretty much everything I thought the server browser needed. Great work!

Hi Peter Baker. That is actually the one feature I myself was missing the most and is the first thing I started working on and I had it working somewhat, there was just one issue with some flickering in the list which is why I did not include it in this release. I have not given up on it yet, but it looks like I will have to rewrite a lot of the code to fix this issue. So currently I am trying to figure out if I should just rewrite the whole thing, which would also make updating this mod a lot easier and faster.

Suggestions are very welcome so thank you for yours!

This sounds great! Thx for the effort! May I suggest another feature? I would love my serverlist to update its sorting everytime a new server pops up while updating. It's annoying to keep clicking "sort by ping" during the update progress.

Thanks for the input guys. Kam KillJoy sadly I really do not have the time to optimize this for all the possible resolutions out there, especially now with my exams coming up. However, it is pretty simple to do it yourself if you tried it out and I hope you do!

What you have to do is go edit the file main_menu.css in the workshop mod folder at C:\Users\Vilppe\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\Workshop\m70ae9a5_1357408177\lua\menu You of course replace "Vilppe" with your own username in windows. There you will find lines like this:
.filter_minplayers
{
top: 16px;
right: 480px;
}
if you change the 480px; to 520px; for example, it moves the min players slider and text to the left!

Remember to backup your changes in case I push out an update or you will have to do it all over again!

Great. Can you optimize this for the 1024X768 resolution, please?

Great Thanks.
