Props to you for putting this together. One thing I noticed, there are no Blackjacks in the Preferred Chassis drop down in the Profile.

Let me see what I can do about this.

Suggestion: Make the MechLab link open Smurfy in a new tab/window.

And this.

I am curious to see hopw long took you to build ... its very simple and useful ... how long could it really take for PGI to do this in comparison?

I have no idea to tell you the truth, I'm just a lowly mod/admin. It was made by Tenbatsu using his own "Revenant Blue" node code. I do know however that he would love to work with PGI to integrate it somehow in the game, I don't think they have contacted him as of yet though

Well, they are hiring by the looks of it. Given the nature of his contribution, I'm almost sure that they can work something out.
Btw. I'm looking forward to this, no matter if PGI adopts the solution or not. Reminds me of the good ol' days of MW4 =)

Nice work,I will be signing up when private matches hit.

I got an answer from Russ through Twitter that they do like the IDEA of a looking for group feature - i sure hope they take a look at this at least ... though making something more tightly integrated would be awesome.

Anything that lets people communicate and FIND each other will help this game ... more teamwork is good!

[12Bravo]

Well, hopefully they get in touch with Tenbatsu, I would think it would be easier to work with something available then starting from scratch.

As a workaround for the in game launch button etc is write a java robot to click the mouse ingame.

I've started using the lobby as a "live" recruitment room for the time being. Until we get private matches, it at least (hopefully) helps get some users to the site. MWO Lobby can only help us if we use it. Just like Smurfy's mech lab, until PGI realized how popular it was, they had no idea it was wanted. This will probably end up being the same, if we all push it, even as just a community hang-out.

A suggestion. Could we have a unit TAG added to the user profile. As a separate data field to the user name, so it could be easily changed in the future if a user changes units. For display the two fields would/could be appended together in time honoured fashion eg BSMC_Splitpin

[Jam the Bam]

Nice work, Ill start using it and hopefully start seeing people online.

[Sprouticus]

just activated my account, but when I login it just takes me back to the main screen.

Using Firefox.

[12Bravo]

Tenbatsu is making some changes right now... Logging in may be a little spotty... Try clicking on the logo in the top left of the page and then going into the lobby, that might help

Yeah, Tenbatsu is doing a lot of bug hunting and alterations lately, so expect that you may have issues occasionally. He really wants the lobby up and running nicely in time for private matches. Just be patient, that's all we can do

Ok to all Firefox users ----
Firefox likes to add www to your text and since there is a DNS issue with www.mwolobby.com that will produce the fault you are talking about, please type http://mwolobby.com

this should fix it until the dns gets sorted out

cheers

Looks great man!


The only thing you really need now is PGI to actually implement the lobbies and have it so that this can actually launch the game and all players in the lobby be thrown into a private match.


Funny, PGI is still over 10 years behind on common sense.

So Tenbatsu has made some upgrades to the site, and we need to get a bunch of people in the lobby to test stability. If all could log in and just stay in the lobby for a couple of hours, would be very much appreciated...

The community has been great with all of the help and support so far, let's see what we can do to help him out.

[12Bravo]

Not sure how many people check out the "Fan Site" forum so I wanted to let yall know that we did a walk-through of the lobby last night. Hope it answers some questions, if you have any more I will do my best to answer or get an answer for you ASAP.

500+ users in the past couple of days! WOW! Thanks for checking us out Mechwarriors.
