Better feedback messages on disconnects #82

Closed FurtadoPires closed 3 years ago

FurtadoPires commented 3 years ago

You all are probably aware of this one

After some recent small patches made the game doesn't tell the reason we were disconnected, just displaying a generic "Client Disconnected." message. 20211002173101_1

In this case for example was caused by a vote kick.

Would be better to have a more refined feedback like -"Kicked in the vote initiated by " : Displaying who started the vote in the message -"Kicked by the host console" : In case of the host typing kick in the server console -"User host disconnected" : In case of the server host quit

Or at least return with the old feedbacks instead of this one.

I know that trolls that I banned get that message when trying to connect to my server. One thing that does need fixed is a message telling when someone is joining a game.

"Failed to join the game because someone inside blocked you" or "Failed to join the game because you're banned from this server" would be perfect, but I don't think they can / will implement something like this

There was a similar fix for TF2 recently, so it makes think that change was intentional.

Still awaiting confirmation from Valve about this.

Well that, but I also mean an actual JOIN message. (L4D2 doesn't do this anymore. Sometimes it doesn't even mention someone leaving the game either. ) Because I could be playing a public game with bots and wouldn't notice someone had joined the game til I look at the bottom of the screen.
