Fancy emojis? Sure!

Custom IRC name? Easy!

Sync everywhere? Easy!

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

But yeah no guarantees they will also be there

How to hide specific 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))

A few updates will be forced in case of any bug fixes. Updates will come in small packages (less than 5 mb). After this update, in every launch client will do the confirmation of current local version with latest stable update on repo. Process of updating is simple

Closing faf client
Updating
Relaunching faf client

Rowey

@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

Eternal-

@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

There was this problem. I downloaded the file for the FAF game, but it wouldn't open because it thought it would hurt my device and wanted me to open it through an app in the Microsoft store. Funny thing is, it's not in the Windows store.
The solution to this problem is much easier than I thought - this restriction can be disabled in the Windows settings.
I don't know if anyone can find this information useful

@danielmeyers Hi, i appreciate your help with with problem. Sorry, currently this project is on pause, because i am busy on work.

Eternal-

Firstly, i am alive
Secondly, I am not a supporter of any community (in connection with the recent events in this community), I pursue a purely personal interest as developer, and first of all develop myself, I help any community that needs help without crossing lines. I am in favor of testing the implementation of various technical capabilities.

So what is it about? Lets begin

Concept of Ethereal Multiverse Client for different community driven lobbies for SCFA

Features:

1. One client - Many servers

2. One client - Many lobbies across many servers

3. One client - Many matchmaking queues across many servers

4. One client - for everything and everyone

Work in progress, but we have got working multiple servers (screenshots) with players and games across servers
