I've created the ultimate server browser for NS2.
Features:
Filter Passworded (Unfiltered, no password, password only)
Filter Full (Unfiltered, semi-full filtered (yellow filtered out), all full filtered (red and yellow filtered out))
Filter Passworded (Unfiltered, non rookie, rookie only)
Invert skill bar option (either minimum or maximum skill)
Filter minimum players on server
Filter maximum player slots
Filter minimum free slots
Sortable round times (will only work if server is running this mod)
Added server status to details window. Currently has "Loading"(cycling map), "Pre-game", "Not started", "Game in progress", "Map vote in progress".
TODO: Polish, implement into next patch hopefully, at least round time at the very least.

I set the slider to 14, but there were plenty of 18 and 20 slot servers left.
Also: Server browser tends to "forget" my settings after disconnecting from a server and re-opening the browser.
Are you planning on releasing it on the steam workshop? Much more convenient that way
Finally something like that is available. But, 2 min are way to short.
Average of the last 30 min would be the key to find the real bad servers.
And if you join a server with bad performance a warning @ join should inform the player that he playing on an suboptimal level.
Something like this had to be implemented BEFORE all the free weekends and steamsales.
Now its a bit late, but its nice to have it finally.
The server browser still "forgets" my settings after I've closed it though. Especially with all these new options it becomes tedious always having to re-select them again.
Not sure why that should be default, but I guess I wasn't thinking.
Well after getting over my hurdle of moving a slider to the right, I can say that the server menu works great and I am ecstatic to be able to find hive whitelisted servers. Great job and hopefully it gets into a future update.
After coming back from a game into the server browser, it "remembers" the empty and full filters, but not the password filter.
Since I can get a much more accurate reading by right clicking a bunch of the servers through the list, there has got to be a way to do this with code. Could this mod either fix this issue or add a feature to check pings multiple times per server and average out the results?
Could you also add the option to default to sorting by ping, low to high?
