There are 2 online lobby examples, but there are no well-functioning online lobby system which is as beginner lacewing handle with them.
I am a beginner and would like the lacewing example of this work below.
It's a good example, except that there's a huge flaw: / If you host a game, and then a player connects to the lobby after he can not see the games that are currently playing ...

I hope it could do with an online lobby does give the run.
All you need to do is make sure the user channels aren't hidden, and you can use Channel Listing if the server enables it. ;)
And make sure when a channel is created to send a message to the others and refresh the list
do understand, but not how.
try the last 4 days may resort to that and it does not work.
need help please please .... I despair
Hm. I'll have to make an example later - I'm busy right now but hopefully I'll have a full fledged Lacewing Online Settings example ready by... a certain time?
I thank you, they are my salvation.
i hope you use the example from up.
2-3 days is feasible for them?
What ... what? Why do you need to send a message?Quote:

The list doesn't refresh on its own you know!
RickyRombo... Don't you think it'd be annoying if the list refreshed and you didn't want it to? You know that is annoying especially because it can change the selection right before they click join and long behold they jojn the wrong thing. ;p
So, I recommend resfreshing once at join, and just having a refresh button that the uer can click as they desire. ;)
What, its not like you can't save the lists selection in a value and reload it :p
LB makes an lobby-example and Ricky Rombo and the better we take. :)
What if the order of channels changes or the channel is not being hosted anymore?Quote:

If the order changes it doesn't matter - use the string :P
But Ricky... I mean, what if you try to click to join a channel and it suddenly refreshes and it does not work or goes to the wrong channel? That would annoy me.
It WON'T
-_-
it will go to the line that was selected before the refresh or the line won't exist and nothing will be selected.
Thus, when you click the button to join the channel you thought was selected, t won't work becuse no channel is selected and you will have to find another one to join. Seriously, don't add auto refresh. Period. Don't do it.Quote:

I mean that you try to click the button to join, but right a few miliseconds it gets deisabled because the channel isn't there anymore. If you tried to join it and it wasn't there but still in the list, a message could come up saying "The channel is no longer being hosted". If that came up every time the list rfreshed then that would be even MORE annoying.
All I am saying is that things shouldn't be annoying in the slightest if you can help it. In this case, all you have to do is not add auto refresh in the first place. ;)
i hope fast :)
Guys, there is no need to hijack Johhny's thread for your personal argument. :)

Sorry, almost done jonny
im happy :)
yeah your probably fixed with your problem, but in that example I commented on it's same flaw and said that "my lobby" fixed that flaw. There's an example on TDC called "Lacewing tutorial pack" and i posted the same thing here, but it was in OINC.
WOW thank you Sumo, this is a good example!
