Double post. Apparently I'm blind. Looking at the Games Detection 101 link, steps 4 & 5 appear to be how to get your game added to the list. Step 5 is concluded with "Once you have the cmdLine and exePath texts copied, wrap 'em up, find your carrier pigeon and shoot them over to us, along w...

Now that sounds quite useful. Is it possible to automate this registration in our installer? Because I'm afraid that if manual steps are involved, barely anybody is going to do that. I can't give you a definitive answer. I'll try and find that out. What I can say is that many games are done automat...

I actually had to explain to the other kids in the room (they're all teenagers) that the old games aren't about winning, they're about having fun. All the games YOU play are about winning, and they hand-feed you until you ultimately win. I'm not sure what you mean in that regard. Every game has an ...

Another super cool feature is that you can go into the settings of the app pretty easily and set it up such that it recognizes armagetronad.exe as a game. Thus, when you play tron, the discord server automatically shows everyone else that you're playing:

It is extremely nifty, seriously! And yes, it should be little effort to integrate bots with. I'm sure it's comparably easy to integrating with IRC, though I haven't looked into it that far. Thanks Vov for taking the initiative! I've also included a screenshot below of what a different server I hang...

So, essentially you want the same two things that Discord offers but in a different way. You want in-game voice chat and a chatbox on the forums. I want both of them in one place, one easy-to-use app. I think that if the timing were better (whenever we still had the bulk of our players), this could ...

@ Sinewav : Thanks. Really. I can understand what you are talking about and I can certainly agree that I should've explained it and probably included a few pictures to show exactly what I mean. I'm at work at the moment and access is pretty restricted so I'll get a graphic later today to illustrate ...

Nah, I understand, Monkey. I really do. I'm not an active member by any means around here. I can't honestly imagine myself playing this game any more. I only check the forums when I'm reeaaaally bored or when I'm holding a conversation in a thread (because I was bored). That being said, I can't forc...

If you wanted to use an external client, there are already plenty of options available to you. Throw a server up on any PC and run it when you want to talk to people. There's also online options that will provide the server, free servers available for Vent, TS, etc, and likely some with web clients...

Double post just because: If you (the devs) aren't interested, I understand. I felt like this would be a fast and simple upgrade that could potentially immediately improve player retention. As something most PC gamers are familiar with, it would "click" with them more than IRC does. "...

Mumble. We were looking into mumble, I don't recall us giving Teamspeak any serious consideration. That one is FOSS and is present in Linux distributions, supports overlay and has an API that would be usable for us for creating channels and authorizing users, and yeah, the mumble server would not n...

Feel free to fire away with your negativity and whatever else you people do when someone makes a suggestion, but: Armagetron should get a discord server. It's an incredibly beautiful interface that offers the exact same functionality of IRC with a few upgrades. All of the sub-channels are quickly ac...

Also, the more I think about it... how exactly is this grand new idea any different from the FFA? I can't answer that question myself. It looks like you guys are trying to do the same thing while calling it the Ladle. :roll: It looks like someone wants their ego stroked. It probably doesn't help th...

"I am certainly willing to re-code it and/or modify it to fit whatever needs you may have for future ladles." in a real programming language please :P Shove it. Also, the more I think about it... how exactly is this grand new idea any different from the FFA? I can't answer that question m...
