Well...At least the "Standard gametype" filter is on by default. (until they find out and turn it off)

Do you ever read what we write?
Long thing short: Teeworlds is a game, not a kind of modification platform, but mods are welcome.

This menu does not prevent anyone from playing mods, once again. It makes the border clear between Teeworlds and community-made stuff.

Mostly. Some posts are just too long and I'm lazy to read them whole. I did however read ghost's entire post.

Re: [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version

Arg, what have any mods done to vanilla? If you are going to put gametype standard on when someone first plays,  Thats racist to any mod, but many people play the "good" mods and vannila.
Whats wrong with people liking other mods? Teeworlds will die without mods. Because people get bored of same old same old deathmatch and ctf and tdm. But, the official gametypes are still really good.

So could we just stop arguing over it and have fun?

no

Re: [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version

I am really sick of this god damn discussion. We do not prevent people from playing mods at all. We just want new players to try vanilla first. We also want the server browser to be organized a little more and we want to separate official stuff from community stuff. Thats all there is to it (no "oh, we hate mods, so lets make sure people dont play them"). I think the new server browser is a good approach to these goals.

I totally agree with the Ghost ;D
A new server filter is what Teeworlds need.

Re: [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version

OK I understand that your not preventing people from playing mods but including so much filters and making them on by default may look like your forcing players into playing vanilla instead of giving advice.

There are some .txt that you can easily edit, and even commit a new version to teeworlds! smile
Look in data/languages.

Those .po files are a way to implement localization (wikipedia link). However, after reading through the wikipedia article, I don't see where this differs in any way from what teeworlds is currently using. I don't think what you want (using plural forms of words depending on variables in teeworlds itself)  is possible with .po files (GNU gettext). Actually I think the way teeworlds handles this is quite good, I like the design of the language files, and I see no reason to change to a new system, when our system works perfectly fine.

the curent files is OK, but it will be better if we use the plural formats...
in the po file you can see:
"single: %d book"
"plural: %d books"
and the translation (if arabic) will be:
"[0] لا كتب"
"[1] كتاب واحد"
"[2] كتابين"
"[3] %d كتب"
"[4] %d كتابا"
"[5] %d كتاب"
the [n] is the plural format to use...
of course you must put the plural formula first of the file.. wink
see this: http://wiki.arabeyes.org/Plural_Forms for the arabic Plural, and this: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms for all formulas wink
you can see that Belarusian have 3 ways.. as Russian wink

Re: [SUGGESTION] Ideas for the next version

well teeworlds doesnt decide this on its own. The language files just replaces the specific strings in the game. Are u saying that sometimes the very same string in english has different forms in your language?
Anyway... just chaning the file wont help.

Ok, so I see that GNU gettext is actually capable of doing this, so we could do this on linux systems. But does this also work on other platfomrs like Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS? GNU gettext is not necessarily available there.

Also would you handle a case where you have several variables in one text string?

//EDIT: It seems this will work on all Unix-type systems, however I don't see how it would work on windows, which is a blocking issue in my opinion. However, maybe we could improve the teeworlds way of doing these things (teeworlds currently uses an own function called Localize, which is responisble for returning the correct translated string). I think it would be possible to add the functionality of using plural forms at least for simple cases.
