Anyone have any idea how to write a script or anything that will allow me to set a ccertain number of retrys for NS to do to a server? Its just too hard to find a server playing Missile Command that isnt full.
Not in its current form... Although in the future if NS will be supporting steam and vice versa then there will be an auto retry feature built into the server browser! In the mean time - <a href='http://www.hlsw.net' target='_blank'>http://www.hlsw.net</a>
The All Seeing Eye (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/) will enter a retry loop if it cant get directly into a game server. Its not the same as having a script right inside half life, but its a pretty good solution.
Half-Life Quick Connector this is what I tell my players in my server to use. It is easy to use. <a href='http://www.videoreview.ws/hlqc/' target='_blank'>http://www.videoreview.ws/hlqc/</a>
you may find this more easy than hlsw. gl <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
ASE works great, but the ONLY problem is that it can't tell if there are reserved slots with some server mods. I think it CAN see them on others, though... in any event, even if ASE connects, there's not a 100% chance you'll get in, and if there ARE reserved slots that ASE can't see, ASE won't ever enter that retry loop
Actually, Rabid Lllama, you can get around problems created by half life mods. You create a custom filter that removes any servers with "public_slots_free" = 0. In the new filter box you type in
1 if public_slots_free == "0" remove
Works for me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

use it to browse for servers, if you try and connect and its full, it will wait until a slot has opened before it tries to connect you, winnar ;p
well unless someone else is using ase and their computer is a smidgen faster than urs, but thems the ropes
