Mod that changes the game mode to mark a game private. So your games look like this: This has no other effect then changing the game mode string, so jerks still can join your game. But it might help against others. http://www.nanodesu.info/stuff/pa/mods/private_marker.zip Install via the ui mod manager. If you want to modify the game type text yourself, have a look at the js file within the mod. I think you can figure out how to change it EDIT: Known bug: You cant use this for games with more than 4 players. The game won't be displayed in the list of games. This could only be fixed with a modification on the side of all players.
I suggest taking it one step further & expand the column and allow player descriptions. But then again, the pending lobby changes are probably going to do this.
There are 2 problems with that idea: 1.) Others would also need the mod, but the intention here is to prevent random people from joining. Random people dont have mods 2.) I dont think I can actually send extra data to be displayed, all I can is to change the game mode string.
Would sending extra data break things? If it doesn't, it might be useful for communicating with others that have the mod.
I havent checked that much, but from what I've seen in the code it is not possible to send extra data at all. The game mode string is a parameter to a "create game" ubernet call that only takes two parameters: the region and the game mode. Both are strings.
