Baking Multiplayer Servers List Options!

[Devrim]

Hi.

 

Story: When I enter multiplayer server main page (although fav servers can be seen at the top of the list), I always select "no password", "Caucasus map" and "EU region" to see a clear list. You know that the Server List Page doesn't remember our choices. We have to re-select items from the menu every time. So, I've just peeked the code for what I can do for myself. If you too want to bake your fav choices, you can follow the instructions below and make the changes as you wish. I also attached my lua file and a screenshot.

 

 

 

 

STEP #1/2 This step performs to display "No" items on Password and Protect menu.

 

Find the file: "..\DCS World OpenBeta\MissionEditor\modules\mul_server_list.lua" file.

 

> Make a copy of it. Do not work on the stock file, or if you are an OvGME user, you'll know what to do.

> Now, open your copy of file. (You can use Notepad++ to edit files.)

 

See line #512

Select this line and copy:

a_comboList:selectItem(item)

Now, type "two dashes" at the beginning of the line. Like this:

--a_comboList:selectItem(item)

 

Go to line #521 and paste it (the line #512 you copied) there.

 

 

 

 

STEP #2/2 This step performs to display "Caucasus" item on Maps menu and "EU" item on Region menu, instead of "Any".

 

Modify line #728 & 729

 

You'll see this:

addItemFilterMaps(_("Any"),"any", true)
addItemFilterRegions(_("Any"),"any", true)

 

Change like this:

addItemFilterMaps(_("Caucasus"),"Caucasus", true)
addItemFilterRegions(_("EU"),"EU", true)

 

 

 

 

Save the file! Now, when you enter you'll see your options are there and the page will automatically load the filtered list.

 

Notes:

1) This modify won't speed up the server list loading.

2) Integrity Check: OK.
