MatchMaking Lobbies feedbacks

[novationx]

You show the servername 2x : Top middle in big letters & above your party( your allies & yourself), but okay. Lets not discuss that anymore. I realise now that its useless.

I dont think people like SSM just because of the design. I think the SSM server had better maps from the beginning and updated to the new mappool quicker. NADEO changed their mappool 1 week after the release.
Thats why SSM is active & NADEO servers a bit less active.

Anywaaaaaaaaays, I just want new players to have the best experience and for that a game needs to look at its best.
Now im gonna play on the SSM server x

Instead of criticising the Lobby interface (and by pressing the key F6 the interface becomes the same interface of the Ubisoft servers), you should ask for the right questions: why my lobby server is the most played today???

First of all I want to thank you for having the servers running and helping the game stay alive. Although, I highly doubt that the interface is what draws people to your server. I'd say it's a blend between reputation, functionality of the servers and french pride. Just because lots of people are playing on the server doesn't necessarily mean it's perfect. I would join a lobby with crappy interface and no lag before a lobby with beautiful interface and lots of lag any day (not saying that your interface is crappy).

When I read you, I feel that you want to give me lessons.

What is it with french people and taking criticism so personal? He posted his opinions on the design, nothing else. If you are confident in your own design you should tell him what you think is good with it. The natural response would be to defend your choices or agree to a better one.

The only server name what i see near the allies is the link to go to the other lobby

About beginning maps , i have one question . Do you prefer normal lobby maps , or you will prefere have elite maps with lot of spawn like in instagib ? We think put them on our lobby , so that will be good to know players opinion .

Don't do generalities like this please , it's never good . All english doesn't like tea for exemple

Like i said to Speed , when criticism are detailled like this , i never useles even if you are not agree with them . But Nova have hard past with SSM admin , that could be explaim the Speed reaction ? i don't know

The most important thing here it's , we want all the best for SM , to have more players . So we keep working , and you keep make lot of detailed critics like this .

I didn't mean for it to sound like I meant all the french. Sorry. I just mean that on this forum I've seen so many people (all of which were french) say 'It sounds like you're giving me lessons'.

never had any problems online with SSM or SSM.speed.
Im a good boy^^

I like lobby maps, but I'd like to see 2 new ones. The instagibs might also work, but I'd like something different.

Fix the god damn issue with F6.

If you don't know what issue I'm referring to, then I'm at a loss of words. It's been there for frigging months now, yet nothing seems to be done with it.

I just got selected to be a substitute in a match that was 8-1 despite me pressing F6 over 20 times. And this is the issue, often even pressing F6 to unready doesn't work but it just says "please wait" and you actually have to quit lobby and rejoin to be unready.

And the list goes on... But I don't expect this to be fixed any time soon if it hasn't been fixed yet

On which lobby did you encounter the issue, and what is your login and the approximate date & time?

[edit] I've investigated on the gold lobby a little bit, and here is a piece of log:

Hello all,

I write everything in detail here in the forum about my Problem with the Matchserver. Sorry for the bad english^^

Lobby and match servers start correctly, but the ManiaLive lobby can not connect to the match server and vice versa.

Remote desktop:

Ingame I get the message that there is no match servers for disposal:

But in the database are entries of the manialive Lobby:

I think my configs are correctly.

I have the same config of the database in manialive Lobby and manialive match.

I hope anyone can help me

Which config files are you actually using? Because you posted 4 of them for only 2 servers.

However, for the match server, my guess is that you're using the one under "Matchserver: config.ini" which misses this line to work correctly:

Code: Select all

ManiaLivePlugins\MatchMakingLobby\Config.lobbyLogin = 'stormserver1'

The idea of balancing teams based on previous matchs statistics is great, but in this screen, you will see that the match i've played is very unbalanced



It's possible to change the colors of red team?
Sometimes, contrast between red color team and background is bad.
