Custom IRC name? Easy!

Sync everywhere? Easy!

Brutus5000

That IRC renaming will cause problems elsewhere. How do you keep the online players in sync with IRC players if the renamed before you join? How will you message or even find your friends if they have renamed.

Eternal-

@brutus5000 Two friend will find the way to meet

I will sync only disconnected from IRC server users. And ive got players id`s on IRC.

Giebmasse

Word of warning, don't assume the ID's will stay there forever, they were already removed before and I had to ask them to be brought back

Eternal-

@giebmasse In worst case i will wait PR for server where it will notify about player connectivity state And for backing up ID`s, thanks!))

Technically it was an accident

FAQ

How to hide specific map?

Right click on game card
Click on "Ban map"

Big_Imbowski

Hello, the client keeps looking better and better!
I have a few suggestions/requests that may be useful for all.

Option to hide moded games, especially due to the fact that the client does not support them anyway.
The error you get: "SIM modes not supported"
Possibility to see the game list as a detail list just as it is in official client under option "table" view.
Chat: adding friends/foes. If there is a possibility to sync with already existing lists that a player made with the official client.
History: official client will delete all history and private conversations, an option to save them will be most wellcome.

Thanks again for your hard work))

Closing faf client
Updating
Relaunching faf client

@subcon you only get the SIM modes not supported if the mods are install external not through the mod vault any mods download from the vault will not show that

@rowey the problem is i do not support any vault mod right now. i can do shitcoding to install them on launch, but i dont want to xD
