Not satisfied though. Imo it's too slow. Trying to find a way around.

by **Dae** » Sun Feb 25, 07 9:07 am

Well, I suppose it grabs two lists of the servers and combines them. If it would be possible to grab and then display them accordingly to their array number, then the server list would be appear faster, although it won't be full yet (just like in Steam or GTA:SA mp).
I'm not sure if that is easy by coding, though. The script must keep somewhere an array with the old masterserver list, while obtaining information from the new one.

Talking about being slow, it takes 3-4 seconds for me. That ain't much, compared with, again, other games.

Made a small adjustment, and instead of a .u file & a big readme, it is now a .exe installer. Easy & clean.
So download MMUserInterface130 now!

Tested, works like charm.

I think you
- may move it out from .zip (so noobs will not have to deal with the hardest procedure of unpacking)
- teach it to try to find where Deus Ex is located by registry (I may ask Zora for the code if you wish)

Actually one thing, does this add anything to the ini?

Yes

Smooth.
I will add this to the hostonmms site

Actually p.s perhaps do this, make the installer both install MMUserinterface and give hosting ability to the two Masterservers besides Gamespy, so adding the server actors under deusex.deusexgameengine]

by **Dae** » Sun Feb 25, 07 12:22 pm

It's harder because it would have to decide which query to use

by **Alex** » Sun Feb 25, 07 1:03 pm

Could you make a topic about the installer crap, on how to etc, in Technical Issues or some? <-- Done.
This is kind of about MMUserInterface, ya know? We know... :P

But not impossible ey? Perhaps, do a 3 inone, Nephthys 1.4, MMuserinterface and hosting on Multiple Masterservers config
That way, it won't have to decide which query to use, as it will install Nephthys first.

This would be of great addition to MMuserinterface

by **Imperial** » Sun Feb 25, 07 2:19 pm

the installer makes Gamespy and DXMTL Masterservers viewable?

or does that have to be added to ini? I presume not

by **Alex** » Sun Feb 25, 07 2:25 pm

Those 2 are combined yes. By adding more MasterServers to the .ini, you can view more in 1 list. But I suggest you keep it to the minimum, so... I'm sorry to say this, I advice you don't use your own MasterServer or the MasterServer hosted by DarKnightKilla13.

Because?

by **Imperial** » Sun Feb 25, 07 2:39 pm

cool, I dont mind the loadup times at the minute but for others who might have slower machines its understandable.( so how about making that Nephthys, MMuserinterface and hosting on Multiple MS's Installer ?

)

It takes longer load up times, wouldnt bode well with those who are impatient as hell

by **Imperial** » Sun Feb 25, 07 9:23 pm

It would seem, that those who don't have previous versions tend to gpf, quite like what you explained [A]lex. It's working, but when they click on servers it gpfs.

Why oh why?!? _ _

Hosting on serveral MSs doesn't need an installer - it is basic info, it is not a modification, it is a core function of the Unreal Engine.

Like already said, a lot of newbies wouldn't have a clue on how to host on Multiple Masterservers, there ARE those who don't know how to change their team, so when you mention the word put this into your deusex.ini they are hardly going to have a clue.

If you make an installer for them, they will never learn.

by **Imperial** » Sun Feb 25, 07 9:42 pm

I would rather they learn through simple things first, like adding maps.

by **Skinny Puppy** » Mon Feb 26, 07 6:16 pm

I constantly get gpf's when trying to join a server. And the interface at bottom doesn't appear.

by **Imperial** » Mon Feb 26, 07 6:18 pm

Screenshot please?

A few others are experiencing this too, so please post a screenshot

by **Skinny Puppy** » Mon Feb 26, 07 6:25 pm

by **Imperial** » Mon Feb 26, 07 6:32 pm

It would appear this is a gpf caused by conflict with something else..

by **Skinny Puppy** » Mon Feb 26, 07 6:43 pm

Well i just installed it, started up dx and tried joining sunny side, but if i move it out of my system and start dx up again it works fine and i can join the servers.

by **Imperial** » Mon Feb 26, 07 7:04 pm

Then it is mostly likely having conflict with some other file.

You have mtl ye? Or minimtl?

by **Skinny Puppy** » Mon Feb 26, 07 7:15 pm

I got MTL.

by **Alex** » Mon Feb 26, 07 7:28 pm

Please, if you have this problems, uninstall MMUserInterface. I currently experience these problems myself aswell, but the weird part it, it only occurs on certain maps. I have been looking at the error, and it doesn't make sense. Nobody doesn't understand it either. I am thinking of remaking the entire mod.

EDIT: For those who think "What a moron, why didn't he test it.": I did test it! But the crashes only happened AFTER I released the mod...
