The patch here changes the meaning of "OPEN" as shown by the clients on metaserver window. Historically the window would show servers that had only just lost all their clients. These would be shown as "OPEN" with no players. "Nobody" meant the server was not even running, which happens after the one minute timeout for daemon shutdown. Are we all agreed to hide the fact that a server was only just active? If so, it may be simpler for the metaserver to just not send open if the server has no players. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
