I have made a Linux client in python.
Technically it isn't a client, but it makes it MUCH easier.

I made this because I(and others) have to manually type in the ip that we get from the website.

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Have AoS installed using wine.
2. Have python 2.7(not higher, not lower)

WHAT IT DOES:
1. It lists all the servers with: Players, Ping and name
2. It takes input for which server(the number)
3. It runs the terminal command to join that server.

HOW TO SET IT UP:
1. Download it(end of post)
2. Place it in your AoS folder.
3. Either double click it and say: Run in terminal or cd to your AoS directory and type ./client (it will take a few seconds to retrieve the servers)
4. Find the server you want to join.
5. Type in the number next to it(first number on the line)
6. Press Enter and wait for wine to start it!

EXAMPLE
This is an example to show what to do:
1. 2/8 45 Random
2. 5/25 200 Qwerty
Server: 1

It lists the servers(random and qwerty). Then I type in 1 the server number for Random and press enter.

BUGS:
It is still in beta 0.1 and sometime will glitch when getting the servers, this normally occurs when there is a fake server or server is set up weirdly.

If you find any others please post them here!

HELP:
If you would like to help develop this program please post!

I want to know which servers already updated to 0.58,cause almost every server I go it is error version dismatch and stuff.Also,I dont know if this is the right sub-forum to post,if it was wrong,could u pl0x move it?

i just went on pinpoint and oviously my name is [PS]Ninjapro69

well there was someone called [PS]Ninjapro691 and he is impersonating me so if he griefs or says bad stuff dont blame it on me blame it on some annoying trolls

C-C-ComradeFSM and I are starting a server series (The Comrades Build Only 1&2)(Don't confuse these with the komrade servers). In order to make these more successful, both need to have an updated version of pyspades (we are too overwhelmed with the prospect of compiling it ourselves), and a ranking system to go with them. We would be VERY, VERY HAPPY if someone were to send either of these to us!!

P.S. The newest version of pyspades is needed to disable fall damage, and to improve platforming

whenever i try to get on a pop-up comes up and says initdirectdraw draw: 0x80004001
please help

I've seen a lot of people making suggestions on how to stop griefing. Accounts, IP banning, additional build restrictions, more admin tools, ban lists, ect. Unfortunately, a lot of these suggestions are really easy to work around and they make the game a lot less fun and accessible for everyone else. No one wants to have a bunch of extra bullshit added to the game just to combat griefers.

However, there hasn't been a lot of discussion on implementing invite-only servers.

Here's how I think they should work:

1. There should be the option to make your server "keypass protected": password protected servers would require a keypass in order to access the map and play on the server.

2. Each individual player would have their own, unique keypass given to them by the admin. The keypass could either be randomly generated or be custom set by the admin at the request of the player. By giving each player their own keypass, there won't be a risk of a password leak causing a mass influx of uninvited players.

3. Only one person can play using the keypass at a time. If two people try to log on to the server using the same keypass at the same time, they will be rejected and the admin will be notified. This is to further ensure that there isn't a mass influx of uninvited players.

4. If the player breaks the server's custom rules and they are votekicked by the players on the server or kicked by the admin, their keypass is deactivated and they can no longer get on. Once deactivated, the player would have a chance to appeal their ban, and the admin could choose to either reactivate their keypass or not.

I feel like the game should remain free as possible, and the creation of invite-only servers would be the way to do so. The admins of these servers could come up with their own, unique ways to vet the people applying to join their server, and would thus be able to create a fun game environment for everyone on their server. Hell, if they wanted to, they could charge a small membership fee to join the server.

So what do you think?

Would you play on an invite only server or do you think this idea is doomed to fail? Also, do you have any ideas on how to implement this (admittedly rough) idea better?

Don't be a deuce, guys! I'll add and rewrite over time, i'm sure.

I cant join any servers... why??? i just updated aos...

Being tired of the unordered unfiltered current server list, I made my own from the original.
It's already being used by a few people, and the address is on other forums.

If anyone's interested on a no full/empty servers, multiple sorting list, get it here:
http://iammorthor.com/aos

servers again but this time a bit different i was thinking about the servers when i thought maybe you could make it easier to make a server E.G. you click on a new server button or something and you choose a map or random generated and how many people can join and the name of it click start and done.

i see a lot of games with this feature and i was hoping my favorite game could get it too.
