Nice! How does it sort?

[rampage]

The default sort is just based on the order it gets the json data from the server, but you can sort on any of the columns by clicking on them.

Looks cool man. Could you modify it to show #players / max # players?

does not show ping for me

[rampage]

For the ping to work it has to run as administrator though it should prompt you as long as the manifest file is in the same folder as the exe. You can always just right click run as administrator as well though. I need to embed the manifest in the exe at some point.

added max player counts and refresh button

This looks promising, rampage. Here you can get output with even more information:

Does it actually put you in the server you want to join rather than some random server?

Because if it does that would be HUGE!

[omega79]

@Delta_34

If you not sort the list you will join the server you picked

you only join random servers if you change the sorting

v nice, possible to add a text field that works as a server name filter, so we could for example add stuff like PUBLIC, CLAN, UK, US, GER etc etc to narrow servers down by name/country/tags etc that we enter?

[goztow]

When refreshing it does not keep the order. That's a pity. Could you also show then umber of bots in the server?

The join button does not work here.

[rampage]

I added the server name filter. I also added bots, and ability to enter passwords. Having some issues with the refreshing keeping the sort order still. I also made it sexier.

[Xpert]

Very nice work. I won't be using it personally since my ren-x settings always change when I launch it so I use the game itself, but it's very impressive nonetheless!

[Methanoid]

looking more awesome by the update, to the right of your name filter, any chance of a text field for ping limits, ie enter 180 and only servers with a ping of 180 and less are shown, also possible for a tickbox to the right of that to filter out empty servers?

1 thing i do miss or cant work out yet with the official launcher and game is how to mark a server as a favorite and have them all listed at the top of the current list.

hmm cant think of anything else extra atm but hey its a nifty piece of work there.

You should team up with others that are also making a launcher! I'm sure it has potential!
