    Default MP questions

    Hello,

    I've searched the MP threads, but i have a few very NOOB questions about MP.

    - What's the difference between the different lobbies. I know what the names mean, but is there any rules about whiwh lobby is for what. They all seem similar to me

    - What do the colors (blue, gold & red) mean that are used for the names of people online.

    thx in advance for your answers

    There are more pple in the 3rd, Friendly, lobby. Else its just a name to me.

    Yellow means you are idling in the lobby.
    Blue mean you are in a set up of a game.
    Red means the player is in a game.

    Can't really add any more to what Andy has said except for some pointers on the lobbies.
    The Friendly lobby is where most people hang out and it's very easy to find a game.
    The Competetive lobby is mainly used for arranged matches (i.e. ladder matches etc.)
    The Chat Lobby is where most of the clans like to hang out.
    Btw these are not all strict rules about the lobbies but thats what generally goes on in each.

    Most people dont take any notices of the titles on the lobbies

    Personnelly I dont see why we need three. It would be far better to have them split up into versions...

    IE modded games
    and update versions....
    ie 1.00
    1.01
    1.02
    1.03
    etc...

    This way you would now what version you were playing against before tyring to join a match.

    Not sure our mp community is big enough tbh, already hard to get a game with limited numbers on 1.6, with people on 1.4 as well we'd be sitting their for ages. IMO its better just to force everyone to have latest patch to play online, that way theres much more people to play against (which leads onto another feature I want in M2TW, a feature in game you can click to automatically d/l latest patch)

    It's Aslo Annoying When I wanna play someone, or I Help a new Player with a Question and/or we wanna play and I host, and they can't join cuz they got 1.3/1.4


    Just Today,someone came on and said "Hey" "ok Guys,I upfated to 1.2,why all the games not comptabile"


    updated to 1.2?!?!?!?!?
    I told him 1.2 is so old,I told him 3 times to get 1.5/1.6,but I guess he wasn't listening cuz he kept asking,lol..

    I don't think the problems are that bad. Normally when somesays why he cannot join games i give him the link to the TW mainpage and tell him to download the 1.5 patch for rtw and the 1.6 Patch for B.I. Then problem solved.

    What would be cool is the ability to switch back and forth between patch version :) Patch automatically downloaded (after asking you permission) as well as maps. Perhaps an option bit would tell if I want automatic download or not (in situation where you are playing a mod, you don't want a patch to come messing with your mod).
