Solved Some menu problems (archived by Mimus)

Hi there,

I'm not sure if already pointed out but if not I would like to make you aware of something. Have a look at both of these pictures.
and
(links if you can't see the pictures: http://beta.xfire.com/users/jeffrey852/s...?type=user and http://beta.xfire.com/users/jeffrey852/s...?type=user

As you can see they differ a bit. The 1 with the beginners in the menu is taken in the Headshot server. As far as I am concerned this is the correct one? All the other servers have the one without the beginners link in it. Is this because I am using the 2.6b version or is this because the right menu hasn't been updated in all servers? This also might be an explanation for lower activity in beginners server.

Also, in the serverlist all TWC servers are there except the Snipe server. Could we make a solution to also let the Snipe server pop up in the serverlist cause this could increase activity.

Last thingy, in beginners server you're able to click on the TWC MENU but once you click it, it shows nothing. This probably because of N!tmod but I'm asking just to be sure. Also after playing in N!tmod server there is the same thing with nothing showing up when clicking the TWC MENU button.

Greetings,

Bollie

PS: If needed I'm willing to help fixing these problems. Just PM with what I need to do.

The new jaymod and etmain menus are being tested on SST with a lot of changes. If you'll join your game normally and click 'TWC MENU' or do the same in SST you'll see them. The problem is filename, trying to implement them with last ASCII character (DEL, looking like square) which would overwrite the ~ menus but it has weird problems with downloading. If won't find solution till Sunday I'll just make them ~ like the old.

I haven't seen the Nitmod menu yet and don't know who has done it but it's probably done in a wrong way (copied menus.txt from jaymod version or typo in some .menu file or something like that).

About serverlist - our servers sometimes randomly disappear from 2.60b list because of ET 3.00 bug and then they reappear. Can't do anything against that. Not sure if it's even still developed, at least no changes in their changelog. But either we can use it and have servers most time in both lists without redirects or use facades which were causing problems too and had redirect or have servers only in 2.55 or 2.60b.
