Most people seem to already know what this is, but here it goes. Spadille is a interactive server browser that gives users loads of features and utilities. It's been a while since I updated this. But it should be more regular now. Some features include favoriting/blacklisting servers, viewing server locations, local pings, searching, filtering and more. Along with the server browser, there are other features such as automatically saving screenshots (with included screenshot manager), config editor, mod manager, map manager, admin tools, URL/IP converter, and more.

Wow lots of fixes, thanks man c:

butt load of fixes COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yay, :D

Sticky?

Updated. Thanks StackOverflow.
The only problem currently is the time it takes to load all the screenshots.. the new system seems to take longer.. everything else seems all fine and good.
Filtering servers on a ping max. is a nice idea also. Good work.

it seems to not capture a screenshot here..

My god! when do you ever get time to sleep?

Nice job! We really need something like this. Now i can check up on my favorite servers really quick.

Would be cool if Ben made this part of the main AOS download.

How long would it take to load more than 100 pictures?!

It takes longer than before, it does it 1-by-1 now.
Perhaps add a 'view' option? Akin to the Microsoft Explorer - thumbnails/details.
I have over 200 I think, this is rather slow to load now.

@TheGrandmaster, hmm the loading process shouldn't be much slower than before. Before they were all loaded in the background while the window was "frozen" until completed. Now it loads them one by one, but maybe painting the thumbnails each time can be a bit much. I'll be sure to add some viewing options.

@learn_more, are you pressing PrtScr? Make sure you're in-game and the game is in focus.

Is it worth getting this update?! Since .60 should be coming up soon would it be smarter to wait?! I don't want to dl something that will take a bit if I will have to do the same thing in the next 24 hours -_-

I downloaded it anyways and haven't found a problem/bug. My pictures took about 45-130 secs to load so no problem there, at-least for me. I love the ping idea! Makes searching for severs so much easier!

@[Elite] Zeke, can't say for sure when .60 is coming out, but I'm already making preparations for some of the new upcoming features. :D

May I recommend some things?!

1) Make "mod packs" a feature where you can switch through all your aos content

2) Make a way to see who is in each server and who host it

I think they would be pretty nice to have, once you have all the basic things done.

Stack I know a lot of people are wanting to know ( I have got i felling u dont know) but is there going to be an assualt rifle in .60? I bet its a no but still.

Or any guns?

Basically the smg will be buffed to an assault rifle's stats.

Ye i no but still, there have been a lot of posts lately.

@[Elite] Zeke, thanks for the ideas. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "aos content". And as for server players/host, it'd be pretty impossible to do that currently, unless servers were to set up some sort of datagram protocol were to be setup where information such as player lists/host/etc could be retrieved through a packet request/response.

@[Elite]TheWelshBoyGamer, well this isn't exactly the place to discuss upcoming features of .60, but I do know a good bit of new features/fixes. However, I prefer not to spoil any surprises nor slip anything out that might not dropped/incomplete before the actual release.

Awsome, a few things...
1.I'm not sure if it's just me but the replaceing GUI on the sounds section of the mod maneger is gone.
2.You can't swap the png. images besides the sights(more of a request for future relese).
But besides that amazing work as usual.

@[HK]mman789, I'm not sure what you mean by either of those things to be honest.

this is pretty cool, nice to see you're still working on it. an idea could be to make the ping bars different colors, depending on the level, but that is just for looks, so it doesn't really matter.

@StackOverFlow
Hmmm, let me paraphrase.
1.The buttons to swap, delete, etc., the sound effects seems to be missing.
2.As more of a request, could you and the ability to swap the other .png images since now you can only change the ironsights.

Any chance of a DD-MM-YYYY option for map saves?

@Priok, hmm good suggestion. Would make it a bit more diverse.

@mman789, oh wow. I see what you mean now about the buttons. But I still don't get what you mean about swapping ironsights. You can already do that.

@Cewrin, I suppose I could allow optional date formats.

What a nice and polished application!

Some serious work has gone into this.

Only thing i can think of adding would be custom icons for our favorite servers list.

A global repository of server icons would be really fun too. Perhaps have it so people running a server can submit a 16x16 .PNG, .GIF, or even .ICO. (please use a format with an alpha channel.)

Of course an off-switch for custom icons. Perhaps a mode where it only loads the icons from the repository when you bookmark it as a favorite. That way people wont complain about long load times. well, if it takes a long time to load that is, you are a CODE NINJA!! :D

We submit our icons to the repository with the server name as the icon name so there is no need for anything else than just submitting your icon. "AoS-Fortress-2 CHUTE.ico" or whatever :)

Well, anyway, if not icons perhaps have a way we can color code our bookmarked servers. Custom fonts might be neat too.

Thanks StackOverflow! :D.

Im kinda confused about the favorite server listings. When you right click a server, add to favorites, it ends up in your favorites. Any other server hosted by that Ip address also becomes your favorites.

Very nice. loving the ping icons. Always look forward to new spadille releases.

YES! I love stack! And i finally got the pics to work!

i'm liking the screen shot sound

glad you added the filter behavior option, i'm more comfortable using allow filters. only thing is the "pings above" option should be changed to "pings below" when the whitelist behavior is used
