#3476 closed enhancement

Add more information about lobby matches — at Version 5

Description (last modified by elexis)

As of alpha 19 only few information is displayed in the lobby about running games. It would be nice to add more details:

  • Connected players and observers
    • We already show the list of initial clients. But it is not updated with late-observer-joins, resulting in only some observers being listed for that game.
    • Sometimes people are listed in multiple games if they were present when it started. So making that distinction between online and offline would help clarifying.
    • Online players could appear in their lobby color while offline players could be displayed in gray.
  • Gamestart-time
    • Useful for estimating if the game will end in the near future or if it has been started just seconds ago. (see #3023)
  • Teams
    • Would be nice to see and wouldn't add too much information to the gamelist-packet and GUI. See the outdated screenshot.
  • Defeated players (maybe)
    • Would also help estimating if the game will end soon, also if it is worth to join as spectator.
    • Using a strike-through font would be nice for that (we don't have one currently).

Notice that we might reuse code in source:/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gui/replaymenu/replay_menu.js that constructs the team/civ/ai string.

Notice the "lag estimation" would have to take paused times into account and should not be added until after #1950 is solved.

The turn number doesn't seen to be displayed, but it is used to compute the ingame time.
