Password support for game hosting

Postby cptwhite » 18 Oct 2011, 15:03

Zep would you be able to implement this at some stage in the future. I have a number of friends who I'm trying to get to use FAF (we currently use hamachi for multiplayer). However the lack of a password feature for game hosting is currently a sticking point to ensure randomers don't join our games.

The kick function in FA would also stop them being in your game, it's just a little more effort.
It should be possible in FAF to do passwords. I will take a look if it's not already planned

Thanks, while I agree with your comments convincing people to install is hard, they don't appreciate the work and benefits it would bring to the table and will use any excuse NOT to bother, hence I'm trying to remove all excuses.

Let me know if theis is achievable either way.

It's possible but not a high priority as it's hardly a problem. Put PRIVATE in big in your game name, and kick the dumbs.
