Hi, while playing ganggarrison i was getting frustrated over the fact that i couldn't join a full game and when it was free people would get their before me, so this may sound stupid and my reason may sound stupid. We right click on a server thing it shows up with a little options table that saids join when player slot is available and maybe a few other options this isn't a very big change and well this is based on Tf2 and Tf2 happens to have this so feel free to tweak and suggest..

Thats not a bad idea. seconded
also, this doesn't happen often, but I once got kicked out of a server after the map finished loading. i guess someone took my spot during the loading section

This has been mentioned before, I think it was disregarded because constantly spamming the server with requests to join will slow the server and the lobby down, no do that on every single server and you can mess some stuff up.

I would be ok with this if there was a way to incororate it's code into the GG2 lobby and not the server so as not to lag each server.

I think even if the server is full it will have you download the map if you don't have it.

Actually, you could simply let the program check the lobby. The problem is that servers send their data to the lobby only every 30 seconds, so if someone blindly spams they'll get it before you.
But yeah, I'll see what I can do.
A right-click menu? Hmm...

It should highlight the selected server, but other than that it's fine. How does it look with the GG2 font ?

That menu doesn't do anything yet, it just shows itself. Atm it doesn't do anything if I click on anything. Thing is with programming, normally the hardest part is the user GUI. This is no exception, so I'm happy that that was so short. Now I want some tips from artists, because I'm not one. I'm going to use this as placeholder though. Ok, need some GUI help here.
