Could consider fetching custom text instead of /np when the room is first made. Was thinking about how this could work with t/165856 & t/146640

EDIT: Throwing these out before I forget:
It'll be nice if the ads text can be colour-coded based on number of people or time created, eg:
  1. New Room ads: Green
  2. 1-2 Players ads: Yellow
  3. 3-5 Players ads: Orange
  4. 6+ Players: Red
  5. Tag, Team VS: some other colour
^Again those numbers/colours are just examples.
Now I love this idea. Really nice the idea of different colors if we could have them and it will avoid adding "(3/8 players)" after the room's name as I thought from the beginning, so I'll stick this for sure.

Also, I agree with the other 2 features, this way we can merge with them :)

This is a good idea imo. I'd also like to add at this request.

  1. The command for the room name to be changed is !rename <entry> (of course this command should be hidden in case moderators are inside the room).
    If there is no entry, the default room name will be used (<Player>'s room).
  2. Add a channel (e.g. #renamelog) ingame which is only visible to staff for logging all renamed rooms with a code to automatically reset the room name.

    • NathBot: [Code: 512] BanchoBot has changed the room name of #multiplayer to "<insert inappropriate content>"
      Nathanael: !reset 512
      NathBot: Room name of #multiplayer has been reset to "BanchoBot's room".
  3. Disallow silenced users from changing the room name (if they are the host).
    I am sure some people are using this method to talk in the room.
  4. Allow automated multiplayer advertisements using the same options used to filter muliplayer rooms to avoid ads you don't want (client-side).
    Everything will still be sent out at the channel but the game client will remove the ones (before it gets displayed) doesn't match the filter condition.
Any comments about my idea?
I didn't thought about the moderating side because I didn't know how things really goes for you guys so I decided to leave it to you.

This idea is great, since my !rr command was kinda silly now that I think about it xD

Obviously this goes in the first post too for reference :3

Wouldn't this be more unneeded work? :o
You could always just add the number of players in the advertisement
And it would be a pain to remember the colours :o

Well, yes. Actually it could be more work for few gain when we could already read the number of players beside the room's name, but adding colors to the chat is something I really like xD

Anyway, I added those features to the additional section in the first post, because it's easier to have all together to discuss them later (I also add links to the post when I can't sum up the entire feature like I did with Nathanael's suggestion :3). Basically I want to see what people like the most in order to make a more detailed list of feature from the start instead of making other feature requests later just to add something we could add from the beginning :3
Pawsu
Oh, I see ^^ your formating is great :D

Automatic advertising is a horrible idea, IMO. Everyone would use it, because "there's no reason not to", even though that greatly increases the clutter. Also, if the number of users mattered, people would be doing dumb stuff like mostly leaving a room so that it's advertised more. The only way to make it somewhat work is to have it as an option, and give it an harsh decay rate (resetting every time a song is played) which is overridden by the advertising button. But with all those restrictions, I feel like there isn't much of a point.

Otherwise this sounds like a great idea for people who actually want to find a room to play in. It's obvious some people use #lobby as a sort of #AllLanguages channel, and those people will probably be upset, but I don't know if an #AllLanguages channel is something anyone would want to moderate. Maybe when Clans/Teams/Whatevers are finally added to the game, and they have their own chatrooms, that'll help some? Probably not, but I guess we can still hope.

Great idea, this might avoid players from spamming and capping.

since 99% of all my multiplayer games are in private rooms anyway. Having an automatic ad for the room wouldnt be nice tbh hhh

Since there are more people not supporting the auto-advertisement system, I removed it for now from the first post. Once I see more people supporting it I'll remove the stroke on it :3

I WOULD vote this up, but i don't mod, so i have no stars to give this T_T. Cause like everyone here would agree, this is a great idea, and should be implemented ASAP.

Another bump...

I like this idea, but then we need an area for the old "#lobby" so people can just talk. Maybe #General if that exists? (Kind of like #VideoGames but for just general chatting with players?)

I agree, #lobby is full of spam; and it's sad.

I fully support this, however, I don't have any votes; so I guess my agreement doesn't mean anything does it.
You can take all my votes > has none.

Anyways XD

hello where are you dev team
Tandashi
Hello guys,
help is arriving! :D

I started to program a bot for this which is still in a very early stage.
But still I hope those are good news for you... and that this project will not... fail... ^^'
So before I start a new Thread about this or something like that I want to ask you about your opinions.

This is what I have so far:


At the moment the Bot returns a random registered room and displays some information about it.
Clicking the Join "button" will let you join the room.
Clicking the beatmap link will direct you to the beatmap.

If we can find a way to make new players know about the bot would be great, since the main problems are with those users who doesn't know how the game/channels work yet (therefore, the spam/nonsense in #lobby).

If you need anything let me know, since I would really like to help (even if I don't know exactly how xD)
I wish you a good work :3

Well if I need some help with testing or something I'll let you know ^^'

Edit:
Should I make a doc somewhere for changelog and to keep you updated or should I post a summary of my accomplishments every day here?

I think there should be a topic listing all users who run bot services. Normally it should be put in developement, but I think stickying it in G&R would give it more exposure. Arguably, it can be considered as part of the gameplay. I can think of tillerino and Tandashi from the top of my head, but I know there are more.

If thats a too much of a debatable option, Tandashi can always make a post about the bot on /r/osugame
Topic Starter
Seijiro
@Tandashi Developement is fine for this imo.

@abraker I meant something like a pop up instruction to those who open up #lobby or something like that, since most of the new players don't even look around (forum or chat, it doesn't matter apparently: they don't look at all lol). Making the bot being known via forum is also less effective imo, but let's see how it will be done
Tandashi
Yeah I was thinking of posting it in Development after I have a stable version.
For now you can check the progress, change-log and more on the github page.

It's been a while and #lobby doesn't change magically on its own so I still think this is needed.

IDK if it's been said already, but if this is gonna happen, maybe add a "Free mods: Yes/No" option?


Other than that, yes yes yes yes yes is all I can think to say, this is a great idea, #lobby is HELL rn, and I'd really like to see an actual reason to go there

can't you just search for unlocked multi rooms if you want to join a random one?

this new multi announce channel would be the same content as the multiplayer room listing, except with all outdated info.
