Crazyforiphone Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Suggestion Name: news in launcher Suggestion Description: basically will add a news RSS feed of either the facebook or Twitter page. Any example images: on mobile. Unable to photoshop till after New Years. Why should it be added?: will allow users to see the most recent posts who don't follow the Twitter or like facebook. This will also allow people to get news updates such as traffic lights not being in sync. 5
StuartD Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 I agree with this, very good idea. It could be like the current ETS2 one. I made a quick like prototype. 4 STVTC Founder & Management / TruckNet Developer
Crazyforiphone Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Posted December 21, 2014 I like that look. I wouldn't imagine it would be super hard to implement and would help people who are confused with things such as the player limit decrease
myluki2000 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 +1 for this. This could help to minimize questions about current changes, temporary stuff and update progress Add this to your signature! [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ea2GOtu.png[/img]
dnannann Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Yeah, I could get behind this. It's a nice little touch to the launcher. +1, anyhow.

AbbieGator Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 My 2 cents, probably wouldn't link it to Facebook just because of the amount of stuff that gets posted there, I think it would get drowned out, however linking it to another system such as a blog or something might work well. Also having 2 versions of it with a switch or something to switch between Polish and English for example?
[ S.PLH ] Warrior Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 BUMPDo not bumping a threat, you know thats against the rules ?Any way i dont see this happen why have we got facebook in the first place to share our new news on
Crazyforiphone Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Posted December 27, 2014 Do not bumping a threat, you know thats against the rules ? Any way i dont see this happen why have we got facebook in the first place to share our new news on sorry, guess I didn't realize that. Just wanted people to see it and comment their opinions and yes you have the facebook, a lot of people do not use it though or just don't check it often, also people who hear about the mod from a friend and just download it may not know about things such as the traffic lights being out of sync.EDIT: just checked the rules and do not see where it says no bumping.
konfig0 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 +1 looks nice. 2 I wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind.. Be slow to critize, be fast to appreciate.
CuteMuzzle Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Yes, please. I would like to see news feed. In addition, would be also cool if I could see current server load. 1

Also having 2 versions of it with a switch or something to switch between Polish and English for example? Could have it side by side one EN one PL, however I think it should be done from the NEWS thread, Could also have a little one somewhere for Facebook but it's not needed.
Geolu_Henge Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Suggestion Name: Server Capacity Status in LauncherSuggestion Description: Add the server status information to the launcher, so we can see if EU#1 is full before selecting it and trying (then failing) to connect. It would be a part of the server selection box, so when you select EU#1 it shows the amount of players currently connected. Then if you select US#1 it will show the amount of players on that server etcWhy should it be added?: Not everyone is aware of the Status page on the forums, and so end up trying to connect to a server, not knowing it's full or offline or anything, and then end up complaining there's a problem. 3

CuteMuzzle Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I'm surprised no one has thought of it (I think?) But this would be so helpful I added it in launcher news suggestion before! +1 to the topic 1
Crazyforiphone Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Posted January 3, 2015 I added it in launcher news suggestion before! +1 to the topic +1 combine it with http://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/2421-news-in-launcher/#entry24193 and you got a perfect launcher!

I saw that thread too, I like that idea of having the news feed from a blog or somewhere. Made a little thing: <snip> Yes, something like that. Thank you for putting my words into pictures
