Noob-Proof Master Server Address in Server Options
I have lost track of how many times I have seen noobs in #srb2-troubleshooting have to reset their MS address to the default value. I don't know if they think that's where their nickname goes, or if they're accidentally pressing backspace, or what, but it's incredibly irritating to see this same problem pop up over and over and over. This is simply something that players should never HAVE to get support for. I have several suggestions for this:
- Make the MS address field its own menu with an explanation about what it's for, with an option for quickly resetting it to default
OR
- If the game can't connect to the Master Server, pop up a box that explains the MS address is not set to its default, with a Y/N prompt to try connecting to the default address instead
OR
- Remove it from the menus entirely
We can talk about having some sort of secondary MS server field somewhere later (are any fans hosting one? I don't think so), but for now all having this field is doing is causing silly problems.
