    Now if only someone at ISI would realize that your ping to a server is kind of important to an enjoyable experience racing online...

    I'm not a graphic designer. I'm hardly artistic at all. I'm just a dude that has a painting program, and way too much coffee and time.

    The UIs need work indeed, there's too much color clashing and low-res stuff to go around. That said, I'm one of those who doesn't like the rF2 logo :p.

    You have my vote...It is certanly clean and I can't think of much other that would be needed more would just clutter it up

    Ping for the servers...a definite needed end user option...

    I dont understand how anyone who has been here 18 months does not understand the Ui will be updated ?

    They not going to leave it like that.......... surely ? :)


    But why bother at this stage with cosmetics. ???

    Would be retarded imo ........ when SO MUCH more important WORK still needs to be done !

    They might be terrible photoshops about something completely obvious... But I think I agree with this person. Why ping isnt displayed, je ne sais pas :p

    You've clearly not woken up complete as of yet...

    I was bored. I made a mock up of something. I'm not clamoring for immediate resolution to an issue I have with the server browser. I'm just pointing out some things I'd like to see in a server browser update. If that's a crime worthy of ****ting on my thread, then so be it.


    Clearly, I don't keep records of all ISI team members and job titles taped to my desk as you do... but I'm willing to gamble a small amount of money that the guys working on GUI's and the ones working on physics, modeling and overall game performance tweaks are not one in the same.

    But I regress. Go have a cup of coffee. V8 coverage is on in 2.5hrs. Maybe a little later you'll have a clearly scope of what this thread is.

    Admire your optimism mate. You should be thankful Durge managed to say something related to the thread at all.

    (and yeah, sorry to be negative on someone... but can't help it...)

    Pretty sure it got a mention at some point. (yep... no idea where, and good luck finding it... ;))

    according to the Q&A, new lobby view (i understand it that the whole UI in general, as that is how ISI works) is in plans, maybe even WIP already

    I was bored too so I spent 15mins on this:
    [​IMG]

    rF2 has a +autojoin="<servername>" option that I could use to launch direct to a server when you double click. I could also add pings to the list but it would take time to loop through all the servers pinging them. I would probably just put that in a thread and let it update pings in the background. Simply having a server list that has a more meaningful sort order would be an improvement over what is in game. :)

    i ve seen many games that update pings only on refresh, so you dont need real-time ping update, or atleast it does not have to be all the time but only like once in 10 seconds... hehe, it is kinda sad that people make even this kind of "mods"

    Add feature to save favourites and working filters and you have beaten them :)

    Filters are working now. Column sorts work. The biggest problem is +autojoin doesn't really work so it makes the whole project kind if useless.

    Do we have any dev's word why about the subject?

    Allmost worth doing a Private Messaging in here to the devs and ask them why or if they can add it.

    I hope we are talking about a standalone server list, like rF1 had with mUtil.exe, because that would be great.

    You didn't have to load the game to see what servers were up and how many ppl were there, as well as several filters, etc.

    Hope this comes to pass.
