DAoC Portal - Suggestions for the next versions

[Metty]

Please, post some suggestions for the newest version

"Maybe" those will be implemented already in the next versions:

• - Servers gone offline should remain in the serverlist for another ~30 mins with an "Offline" mark?
  - ModMgr: "Details" -> Own thread
  - Help for DAoC Errors/Auto Catch?/General Tracking of running Clients.

It also would be useful to get the character information from the herald and display it.

I am planning to create a customized launcher for Storm only, which will have the ability and some more. It will be Multilanguage and easy to use. I will update this post (or create a new topic) when the work begins.

Through these latest versions of DAoC Portal we have tried to remove the need for custom server launchers, we want everyone to go through DAoC Portal when trying to connect. I'd prefer it if Storm didn't have such as launcher, on DAoC Portal currently you can set the server as your favourite.

Storm itself would have to provide a apropriate favorite page with herald infos

If someone was to make some kind of standard for a herald that published it's information in xml, then it would be easy to parse herald info.

Could you not implent some kind of cueing system to get online to your servers
I love playing daoc and i have 4-5 m8s that all play together but it can take an hour sometimes to get on .dont get me wrong im quite prepared to wait to get on but wouldnt it be nice if you could log in and it says you are number 10 or 50 inline and when you get to 0 you auto log in

Hey Metty, I was thinking of a 'windowed mode' button. There any way to change the clients display settings externally so that we can choose whether to play fullscreen or windowed before we launch the client?

Windowed is better for testing, because i can sort of minstrel-twist my dolserver and my game client so neither crashes. Full-screen I have no chance; that said, for just playing the game on Storm full-screen wins.

Think its possible?
cheers!

[Metty]

Hmmm..... will see to that in the next version

I would love to have a better skin. More RPG'ish (look at shadowbane launcher).

mmmm - Got some newer Version lying around here for about 2 months, but can't upload it onto the ftp - Etaew still hasn't sent me the new daoc portal ftp data D:

Oh, while opening your access, i decided to roam on the portal forum - this is a nice coincidence

Suggestion - Maybe add an 'option' for the Client Diagnostic. (when it fails to log in, it pings google + tells you possibilities why you couldnt connect)

Personally this feature annoys me.. so maybe add a disable for it? Thanks! =]

[Metty]

There already is an option for it!?

It would be great to create a shortcut for a special account on a server on the desktop. i mean a double click on a desktop icon and bam im logged into the server and see my characters ingame
