Title: The new Gr stinks... Post by: Dragonic on November 27, 2002, 12:01:53 pm Personally i think that the layout before this new version was perfect; everything was nice and organised. Now we get this, all the games you got in 1 list ? They call that organized ? And were is my Fav folder ? I cant find it and i cant create a new 1 ?
In my opinion this is a giant fall back to the prehistoric ages for Gr, update back to version 3 pls ! >:( Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Brain on November 27, 2002, 04:54:20 pm evill could at least have made this new layout an option. i personally dont mind it that much, but that is because i'm on a comp that only has 2 games on it right now. i'll have a better opinion when i get back to college Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Flame on November 27, 2002, 05:01:52 pm I dont like it because I have aoe2 installed, and half the games i see is aoe2. I dont wanna throw it out because its a cool game, but i dont wanna see it too. GR2 was also better, since we could CHOOSE the games we wanna see, and we could change it so that we only saw the people in the room that had a certain game.
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: ShadowBox on November 27, 2002, 06:22:50 pm Yeah, I too think that the new layout should be an option like it was in 3.0.1. I have several games on my system and it gets kind of confusing trying to quickly find the game I want to join. I understand that Evill had to release an update for a new game but he should have kept the hierarchy layout of 3.0.1.
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Jeb on November 27, 2002, 07:16:40 pm I kinda like it, the only thing that i dislike is seeing the server folders in there with the gamelist.
Evill said yesterday how we bitched when he changed the gamelist, now its changed back to its old style. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: (SiX)Ben on November 27, 2002, 09:53:55 pm Guys, maybe just no... You guys have no fucking idea what you're missing when you're banned. GameRanger is GameRanger no matter the format. It has games, it has people to play with. Who the fuck cares... Evill just gave a link:
www.GameRanger.com/3.1_faq/ That should answer some of your questions about font and why the overhaul was done. Chill guys, gr pwns Ben Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Cossack on November 27, 2002, 10:20:21 pm No big deal. You will get used to this one just like you did for GR 3. Is there still ip joining?
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: (SiX)Ben on November 27, 2002, 10:27:18 pm Yup! Tehehehe
Ben Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: tasty on November 27, 2002, 10:31:24 pm i personally enjoy the way that the game list is shown more comprehensively and with a pulldown menu instead of that clunky folder system. i wish i could still use gr2 though, the text based interface pwns this aqua version, way less clunky and more functional for what we use it for? if he wants to go the way of prettier interfaces, than kevill should get AIM-style profiles and allow html formatting in the stuff we enter. right now it just seems like GR is stuck in an interim period between being very functional or very feature-laden.
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Supernatural Pie on November 28, 2002, 04:17:02 am You are seriously overreacting. I have seen almost no difference in the new update. I actually forgot it was an update before I saw this thread. Just relax, and let it sink in for a couple days. Just think about how much different GR3 was compared to 2, and you all got used to that. This will be 100 times easier to adjust to.

Repeat after me, "Scott knows best." :) (http://www.GameRanger.com/menu.gif) (http://www.GameRanger.com/group.gif) Scott. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: p u n on November 28, 2002, 03:14:14 pm i didnt know the some one else was using Kevill in Gameranger, and how come there could be alot of george's, alot of bob's alot of mikes, i havent seen the 1st person in gameranger with the name of kevill, and i dont see any reason for banning me for that.
hope u answer back mofo Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: ShadowBox on November 28, 2002, 04:16:24 pm Where do you get the "new group", edit..., and remove... from? If I'm able to set up my gameranger like that then it would be just fine. As it stands, that is my only complaint with the new layout, not being able to see just one gmae at a time.

Post by: jn.loudnotes on November 29, 2002, 10:24:44 pm Personally I like it much better. . .it's more the the original GR that I'm used to. Of course, I didn't use GR during v3 long enough to begin to prefer it.
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Jeb on November 29, 2002, 10:52:03 pm Mb you know best, but you also are the only one who knows how to configure the server list. Meh... i'm so confused
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Typhy on November 30, 2002, 02:53:55 am All I can say is "Wow, things really have changed in the past 5 months". - I can't really comment on how good it is because I've not used it, but it does look like a big change.
Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Scott_Kevill on November 30, 2002, 05:28:37 am It's a feature that I've completed already for the next update. I should have clarified that.
Scott. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Typhy on November 30, 2002, 05:39:30 am --- Comment edited out as not to further piss off Mr. Kevill ---
I was thinking that nice addition to the new version of GameRanger would be Typhy, what do you guys think? Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on November 30, 2002, 06:20:31 am Out of curiousity, does this new GR run the same in 9 as it does in X?
Off-topic: Please refrain from using imagery in your text because it takes up bandwidth and slows down loading times. This goes for about everyone but Scott Kevill since his use of imagery is to demonstrate a purpose and show a feature off on his service. I only really posted this since shadowbox posted a picture, a bad one at that. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks...

This goes for about everyone but Scott Kevill since his use of imagery is to demonstrate a purpose and show a feature off on his service. I only really posted this since shadowbox posted a picture, a bad one at that. I appologize for that but I was currious as to where Evill got the Groups from. Now that it's been cleared up there is no need for the image to be associated with my post. Also I was un-aware that we were not allowed to post images within our posts, but in the future I'll just make a link to them on my server. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: jn.loudnotes on December 01, 2002, 09:26:31 pm Well, you are allowed to use images, just not to excess.
For example, 8) does not waste bandwidth, but a huge page of them would. And to post an image, you have to link to your server anyway, it just takes a while for the page to load. Example (a 3k image on my server) (http://www.capitolaw.com/graphics/cdlo.gif) OR posted as a link: http://www.capitolaw.com/graphics/cdlo.gif (http://www.capitolaw.com/graphics/cdlo.gif) If you have a very large picture, it is better to post it as a link so that users with slow modems don't have to load it unless they want to.

Ben Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Brain on December 02, 2002, 05:56:38 am actually, we just let scott get away with it because we dont want to get banned
;D Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: |MP|Cringe on December 02, 2002, 06:00:30 am Mr. Kevill, just when might this new update containing this feature be released?

As much as I enjoy Punisher and Womble I dislike your posts. Although I'd like him to answer that do you erally expect him to because you know once someone posts 3 times in a thread Infection is allowed to edit it =D. Btw you're not allowed to call him Mr. Kevill, only me. I'm a personal body guard. Finally I think the new Gameranger is good because there isn't so many levels or heirarchy, but still the favorites feature will be good. Title: Re:The new Gr stinks... Post by: Ben on Pismo on December 03, 2002, 12:17:45 am Ahahaha. Sucks for you, I can call him "Scott".
