[REL] [CLIENT] [LOBBY] [LIVE GAME] Faster Server Browser for Titans & Classic

This looks like it could be really helpful.....If I knew what it didXD

Makes lobby simulator less of a simulator

Honestly this isn't lobby simulator, you need to play Halo MCC (or at least play it last month) because literally when it came our match making took up to an hour to join a match at times.

If you have the bandwidth to support the 7Mbit data stream coming out of the lobby listings, then I'm sure it's fine and should not notice any problems.

No Halo MCC had terrible matchmaking problems when it released, they've since improved it quite a bit.

Oh you meant PA- I'm not sure, it'd oddly slow even with high speed Internet.

Yeah my internet should be fast enough as well, but it still is rather slow and takes a few seconds to first show any games.

Current stats (and it's really slow right now):

• 17.9KB (vs 415KB for Uber feed)
• < 0.14 Mbit/s with 304 not modified (vs 3.3 Mbit/s for Uber feed)

@jables, see how much you could save yourself in bandwidth bills!

Sadly the bandwidth via AWS is cheap... it's the player frustration and their personal bandwidth that is the true saving.

https://palobby.com/ has also been updated with saving of filters and reasonable support for latest browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Mobile Safari but not IE).

Love the improved palobby.com and the mod. Keep up the good work

Feed is often over 7Mbit/s (900+KB) today now that everyone is playing again.

Current Faster Server Browser filtered, gzipped and 304 not modified feed is < 0.4 MBit/s (45KB)

I believe this forms part of the latest PTE.

Yep... just posed on the PTE thread.

https://palobby.com/ has been updated with the following:

• locked filter
• browser language detection
• PTE ready

There are some missing translations in the current builds (and Reset Filters in palobby):

• Locked
• Open
• Yes
• No
• Open Slot
• Radius

not a big fan of this, the english menu looks actually better to me xD

I'll add a language select list to override in the next update.

Would anyone here know why the lobbies sometimes don't go public after changing the system to a custom system? I already know Gandalf and I have this problem, the lobbies are so broken.

The only way to make it public is by clicking "public" with the default system loaded, and then when the map is changed by clicking "browse" it stays public but no longer updates information in the browser (i.e. if someone joins that lobby with a custom map, the server browser will show 1 player in the lobby, etc.)

Also, it seems like this mod doesn't work for me, when I fail to join a game it returns me to the main menu.

Faster Server Browser has been updated with the following:

• switched to uber feed
• fix for auto refresh checkbox not working
• fix for missing starting planet html
• added a filter retired checkbox to get rid of those annoying retired games
