Configs from auth server

[ImagineProgramming]

Hey all,

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm new to this forum and I'm happy to be here =) I play
this game alot, and I'd love to see further development.

My main question;

If you personally host an authentication server based on the php scripts provided in the wiki,
it would be really nice to have some sort of command in the client which will send that string
to the php script, which in turn will be able to return a list of commands the client will execute.

Lets say, the user types /login username@domain.ext first. He logs in, and after that he will
type in /servercmd getnickname n1. The authentication server could return the configuration
strings the client will execute, for changing a nickname and colors e.g.;

player_1 NewUserName
color_r_1 15
color_g_1 12
color_b_1 0


Is there something like this, or something similar ever going to be implemented?

Thanks,

No, there is no such thing and nothing like it planned. What would be the point? Isn't it better if you just have the relevant configuration available locally and include it when needed?

Well, it would mean users could store stuff like that online and never lose it as
long as they can login. Reinstalling, moving from computer to computer, protable
installations etc. you'd have the same settings everywhere.

But it was just a thought, would have been nice.

Thank you.
