Summary

0001430: Doomseeker doesn't support join passwords

Description

Either I am blind, or Doomseeker doesn't support servers which have join password.

Additional Information

Skulltag has had the feature of join password servers for many years, but Doomseeker doesn't seem to recognize them and ask for the password on clicking them.

(0006802) Konar6 (reporter) 2013-07-25 22:06	Example of a join password server: 109.169.18.115:17000 [UK] -->Grandvoid--> Clan scrims CTF - IDL mappack

(0006804) Blzut3 (administrator) 2013-07-26 00:35	For the record, the reason join passwords haven't been added to Doomseeker yet is because I believe this is a user interface short coming of Zandronum itself. If it doesn't yet, Zandronum should prompt for the password when you try to join. When Doomseeker gets a password manager there may be a better argument for prompting at the browser level, but at the moment is there really a point?

(0006805) Konar6 (reporter) 2013-07-26 01:29 edited on: 2013-07-26 01:37	Doomseeker, being bundled with Zandronum, is used by >90% of new users. It is these new users that are being confused by the current devious way of joining a server with join password. We've actually encountered it on a large scale when trying to host a permanent join password WDI server. Not one Doomseeker user knew what's going on, why they can't join and what they should do. We had to change plans. I think it is the browser's job (at least) to mark the server as having join password, if not feature a simple password manager; which is something that has been a natural thing in IDE for years to everyone's satisfaction. > When Doomseeker gets a password manager there may be a better argument for prompting at the browser level, but at the moment is there really a point? Well, it does currently prompt for connect passwords, so I imagined prompting for join passwords just as easily. Also the server creation dialog counts with join passwords. EDIT: even if Zandronum was made to prompt for join passwords itself, it doesn't store passwords in .ini - and here we are back on the browser to store them ;) Surely nobody wants to type the password each time they join a server.

(0008332) Absolute Zero (reporter) 2014-03-07 02:54	Working as intended, even if a server sets both join and in-game password.
