Multi Server Listing

i think there is no problem to run as much servers as you would like to :] just run copied many times teeworlds_srv with other configs which will be availible under different ports. am i wrong?

A bit, in this setting having say 8 servers running at once you can hardly provide them with sufficient bandwith to give them a good game feeling, when say 8*12 players join you... 1 server 12 players, but the first player joining a map of a set this server offers dedicates the server to this map, until all players leave..

Yeah, that sounds very cool. I just set up a server with some tunings and since I have some more ideas what I could try, I would appreciate it if this would get into a release.
I really think that this idea is worth a try. How about it? Did any developer took notice of it?

I agree with catpaw, for me on my server it is not possible to have 8 servers running since the CPU and RAM capacities are not too high and the bandwidth is also not the best one to get, even though it is a dedicated one.

simple - do the map-vote-system ...

Maybe in next versions we could have a 'server-tree'
If you want to see the options of that server you click on '+' and expand it...

It can be separated by IP ^^

Dont think we dont know what map-voting is. But it has several drawbacks, hence this suggestion. On mapvoting, you don't know what maps a server can do, if you are just browsing the metaserver... It will register with just a random map, and albeit it could do your map, you cannot see it if you don't know it already.  With multi server listing you just join that map you want to play. No voting, no joining servers and then having to look what they can do etc. no keyboard commanding, etc.

I thought about a treeview first also, but treeviews are a big afford to code and I think, there are more important things than making a treeview to group servers by a filter which nobody uses really (I talk about the IP). The plain list is good so far, maybe this could be done later.

But I still like the idea... And still no developer posted a response... I would like to know how they think about it.

Personally, I don't like it one bit. Seems like over engineering for a small problem and missing the issue while you are at it. Introduces a lot of strange cases that could occur if several people joins the server at the same time.

The main issue I feel is that good maps doesn't get the attention that they should. They doesn't spread around to other servers. I think that with some statistics tools that logs what maps and servers that are popular would help server administrators to setup servers with common maps that are good.

Another thing that could be good is a good database of maps that people can vote on what maps they like etc. like teeworlds-db.com. We have tossed around the idea to officially bless teeworlds-db.com and perhaps see if it can be integrated to the to the official site. All this is just speculative right now but it would be nice to have something like it.

One server can host several maps. What if the server reported it's map cycle, or available maps, if it supports voting or not to the server browser. Then you could have the ability to search for a server that you can convert into the desired server that you want. "I want to see servers that have the map X and support voting" or something like that.

Are there any plans to implement a voting system? IMO it should NOT be left for a mod. It's a pretty standard thing imo. Even if it means just voting for maps, opposed to other things like kick players.

IMO voting should be on by default, and a cvar to disable voting.

Nice!
