Hallo,

Just a quick suggestion, you might want to reconsider the 'Player Count' functionality that you presently have implemented in the software. Judging by the image that you have provided in the main topic, you currently have 'Player Count' adjustable only by using a UI Slider - which is really hard to determine what the value is to the end-user. If the end-user were to adjust the Slider, regardless if a UI Hint is displayed or not during the interval changes, it can confuse the end-user as to what the value is - when they try to confirm the settings before hitting the UI Button labeled 'Start'. I would suggest on using a standard UI Textfield instead that limits the input to just Natural Numbers (1 - 8). You will have to implement checks to assure that the values are legal (again: 1 - 8), but with that UI change - it will be much more clear-cut to the end-user.

I hope this suggestion helps.

Regards,

I thought about what you said and thought about a few things that might make it better. First of all there is a UI hint that pops up when using the slider. Secondly the slider snaps to the values making it really easy. Lastly I will update it so that a label also displays the current value.

This is interesting

Hallo,

Having a UI Label is an okay idea and will help the end-user understand what the value is - after they adjust with the UI Slider before hitting the 'Start' UI Button.

Thank you for your time.

I've been using Unleashed from early on. If I remember correctly, Martin programmed that in Basic. Maybe this could stand bringing it into a 21st century (C++) state. Just an idea.

I updated the Player Count Slider AutoToolTip with a Label as seen above.

That program seems to be an all in one launcher. My goal with this project is to simply make an easy multiplayer launcher because the console commands are not very user friendly.

Any plans for compatibility with Zandronum?

I just crashed (bluescreen) my PC after i clicked the "Start" button lmao

so far it seems like it's only compatible with doom 1
