View Full Version : Why can't the game remember the last server used?

Is this a real trick to program or why haven't this been done? It's a constant annoyance having to *click-server* *click-connect* instead of just keep hitting enter to connect.

Would removing one extra click really be that big a deal?

Yes because I don't click on anything else, I hit enter. If something like *arrow-up* *enter* worked it wouldn't be so bad but you have to hit tab 10 times to get down to the connect part and hit enter there.

Anyhow, the game already remembers the last character used so I don't see why it can't remember the last server. It shouldn't take a dev long to implement this.

I suppose you're right but I'd rather see their time devoted to killing synch errors and FRE's.

I'd go one further than remove that click and allow us to specify server, account, pw and character in the command line.

eg. :

c:/program files/neocron/neocronlaucher.exe name pw server 1

I could have icons for each character on the desktop then.

It is v.v. annoying having to watch screens fade in and out and click boxes just to restart the client after a crash/sync.

Aaah the beauty of laziness... I agree, make the game remember.
And can u get rid of the splash screens too?
I'm getting quite sure about who made this game by now :wtf:

Splash screens are easy.

Add these lines to your neocron.ini file :
NOSPLASH="TRUE"
NOEXTRO="TRUE"

Do you expect me to remember that? How about: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start?

The reason ppl like to have these 'advantages' on connecting back to a server is cuz, the ammount of times we have to fucking relog while playing......it starts to get annoying imo :rolleyes:

Wow, the Konami code. Awesome. A little off the topic but are you really a bong designer?

[ENTER]
[ENTER]
[ENTER]
[UP]
[UP] // = Saturn
[UP] // = Venus
[UP] // = Uranus
[UP] // = Jupiter
[TAB]
[ENTER]


Works fine with keyboard ....

Hope i could help
