Request: I would like the ability to connect to a server by name (using
SERVER.LOAD) in hwdiag. This should also allow connections to ANY user, even if
they are not shown online in agents satnet.
This will have a number of effects:
- Connecting via hwdiag can be more convenient since you don't have to look up / memorize the index associated with a named server.
- You can connect to yourself to view your logs easily even if agents satnet list is incorrect.
- You can connect to other agents for PvP / gateway access even if agents satnet list is incorrect.
- In future, if server numbers in non-agents satnets change, batch files wont have to be updated.
- This also opens up the possibility of fun unlisted secret servers and shops.
I do not believe any issues will be created by allowing connection to offline
agents. As far as I know there were no issues with this prior to the recent
satnet change. I presume the satnet change was to give users a more convenient
list of who was online for PvP purposes. That convenience is not lost by
allowing hwdiag to connect to any server regardless of presence in satnet list.
