announce when a new game is ready to join #8

From RZ***Brandon <bgching@gmail.com>:

I'm not sure if Pierre is aware that some server operators are running a "custom" version that announces to players of a previous game that a new game is ready to join. The logic behind this is that this prevents people from missing a round and falling behind by 2-3 frags.

Admins who logs on to the server already see this message when a new game is ready. So the hack is just to make it visible to anyone. It's been too long ago I messed with the code, so I don't remember where you change it.

I don't think this is from a custom patch, it has been in the code for a while. Maybe somebody compiled from source?

Issue 41 has been merged into this issue.

pphaneuf commented 10 years ago

This issue is broken in the latest revision from SVN (or maybe was never fixed in the first place?).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Setup a dedicated server. (For example, you could run > "quadra -dedicated -peace -endtime 1"
  2. Play and finish a game.
  3. Wait for the server to start a new game.

There is no announcement that a new game is ready, and there should be an announcement even if the server is not recording.
