Title: Password
Post by: Peter Silie on January 31, 2009, 03:34:57 AM
greetings developers,

is it possible to make an inputbox, which will be prompetd, if the player connects to a passwordprotected server?
not everyone is familiar with the commands of the console. with a prompt the player could input the required pw diretly and the engine tries to reconnect independently.
maybe a pw-field in the setupsection could help also to force a reconnection without the console-action?

Yup that would be good
Other way could be that player connects as spectator but to join he must type for example
Code:
/passwd passwordHere
or something like that, of course by saying it normally or by in-game console

Sago implemented that on OAX since Beta33. You should try that.
