Hi, I'm a regular lobby player and often host them. I was wondering if it would be possible to set up preset tabs that save the ip/rcon, maps, hours, and config when making a lobby. For example, you could have one tab badwater highlander with a required amount of hours for everyone to another tab that's 6's process with medic needing a thousand hours.

So what you're saying (correct me if I'm wrong) is that you want a way of saving the settings of a particular lobby? If so then this sounds like a good idea if it can be implemented.

Seems like a good idea for the website, but rcon passwords shouldn't be saved because they cannot be hashed and could be accessed en masse if the database were ever exposed.

 

Personally I think an API would be easier and more flexible, allowing server owners the ability to run a simple script to start up a lobby with whichever settings they want.

It would be great if there was a way to create Templates for Lobbies that we want to create. I personally always put a wall of text on the requirement section explaining why i put 1000+ hours of requirement for certain classes. Having to type it every single time gets tiring. Would be great if we could just save up to two or so.

Edited title to make idea clearer to developers. Have you considered just copying your text into a notepad/word file and saving it onto your desktop? That's what I would do.

It would be very cool if tf2center added an option when creating a lobby, to save that lobby's info so it would be much faster to create a lobby in the future, no need to type in the IP and port, rcon password and select config.

 

I own my own server and host lobbies on it quite a bit, so if I could just hit create lobby then only have to select the map or something for example that would speed things up.

 

Or for some people that maybe have access to multiple servers (not the free ones) you could save several server profiles then just select a drop-down an choose the server to hose a lobby on.

 

Thoughts?

I've seen this idea before, can't seem to find the post.

It's definitely TF2C should have, it's just a matter of actually implementing it.

I also have seen this before.  Seems that maybe the devs have more important things to be working on since I have yet to see anything indicating that this is going to happen any time soon.

 

naknak has created a macro for autofilling the lobby form, including slot reservations and requirements that I use and it works pretty well, you might want to give it a try  http://forums.tf2cen...-form/?hl=macro

This has been designed ages ago. Still somewhere on an endless list...

I agree, it would be really helpful if we could have this.

Instead of that "The profile page is pretty new, hope you like it! While the site is in beta, the stats may not be completely accurate! Sorry!" placeholder, why not being able to fully customize that little square?

Interesting idea. We'd like to avoid people being racist/homophobic/offensive there, which probably isn't going to happen.

FYI: It has been designed ESPECIALLY for custom text. So this is on our list.

It would probably be neat if tf2c profiles could have editable info boxes (or fill-able text boxes, like in the forum profile) that can display custom (or preset, using a drop-down menu) information, like:

 

-Main class 

 

-Favourite Loadout

 

-Comp experience and history

 

and other random bits of text.

 

 

Info boxes should be optional, as some people would not like to fill their profiles, or show off their main class, favourite loadout, etc.

Right now profiles are vague and don't say much about the person except the leagues he/she is in how about let us make descriptions for ourselves.
