That is the default behavior.  I will add a setting to override that.


 


Thanks!

Awesome! This has been quite useful to me. When I am waiting for other players to show up, I don't have to even have the game open. I can just open Neverrun and glance at it every so often to see how many are online.

BTW, if there is a concern that having it update in the background may start eating up too much bandwidth, then a very good option would be to only update the servers listed in the current category. That way, one could update only the RP servers, or only favorites, etc.

Good idea!  I'll add that to the next beta.


 


I've uploaded a v0.6 beta 1 to neverwintervault: http://neverwinterva...r/tool/neverrun.  Anyone that would like to try it out just needs to download and overwrite the current exe.


 


New features:


  • Finally added the settings panel that can handle Neverrun settings, some NWN settings, and Community Patch settings.
    • Neverrun settings: Default loader and toolset.  Update in background.  Modifying hidden IP address List.

    • NWN Settings: Most settings from nwnplayer.ini that impact players (that were listed on the Wiki), adding/removing haks from nwnpatch.ini, color picker for Chat/Trap colors.

    • Community Patch settings: All that I am aware of, but I'm not sure if these will be active until 1.72...


  • Hiding IP Addresses.

  • Fixed issue with an error dialog popping up multiple times when not connected to the internet.

  • Added neverrun.log to log info that might be helpful in determining issues.

  • Fixed issue with the first run window size that might have been too big for lower resolution desktops.

  • Fixed a few issues with Unnamed Servers showing up blank.

neverrun v0.7 is on the horizon.  the big change is the parsing of ServerDesc.txt.  For those servers interested in such a thing you can see what I've started here: https://github.com/j...evelop#neverrun  I know this all a bit historical fiction given the player counts, etc; but it's basically a standard YAML metadata (for homepage/forum/webchat) + markdown (actual description of server and features).  These are open text-based formats that any site that shows server listings could support to improve (new) player friendliness..  And there really are very few limits on how much that can be improved (imo).  That's the only goal here.  There are also no limits on how things can be expanded.  HAK updaters, event calendars, etc, etc.


 


Example of a test: http://i.imgur.com/FzNN1x0.png (ServerDesc.txt)  This is just a dumb test of the markdown parser don't get hung up on the formatting, you can literally do anything HTML can.  Really simple and powerful.


 


If anyone has any suggestions or feedback i'd love to hear them.
