Server launcher of some form #77

Closed iamgreaser closed 11 years ago

iamgreaser commented 11 years ago

The server list is useful but it almost calls for a server launcher despite my earlier pleas telling people not to make launchers.

But we already have the kick_on_join mechanism which can be enabled by server owners who would rather not have to deal with the sorts of people I don't want this game cluttered up with.

I feel that the easiest approach would be to use iceball://host:port links.

Why not make an ingame server browser?

rakiru commented 11 years ago

Repeating what I said on IRC: An ingame browser would probably be best, but I think registering an iceball:// protocol handler would be good too, as it would allow sharing links to join servers and what not. Perhaps that should be a separate issue though?

Ericson2314 commented 11 years ago

Yeah, I agree. Both are useful. AOS:// handling (in the client) would also be nice once grease's PySnip work is ready, so people can drop in iceball as an AoS replacement.

iceball:// URLs are implemented. I think we can mark this as closed.
