Title: Request: Prompt for Server Password
Post by: jitspoe on April 09, 2008, 04:35:47 PM

I've noticed quite a few new players have gotten confused by the passwords on match servers, thinking they typed the password wrong for the login system.  I think we should probably add some kind of password prompt, like a message box that pops up and says,

This server is password protected.
Enter the server password to connect:
[____________]
[OK] [Cancel]

Shouldn't be too hard - just make failing a server password make the client "menu Password", or something.

I was looking through the feature vote list, when I saw this again.  ViciouZ, didn't we code this a while back?  I remember making the menu and everything.

I don't think it was ever packaged with the release, but I remember making one.

I remember it was packaged with one of the releases, because I had to use "cl_passwordpopup 0" to get rid of it. HOWEVER, I have not seen it or tried it afterwards, I guess you could try "cl_passwordpopup 1" to see if its in these recent releases.

 Either I dont understand you guys, or you havent connected to a passworded server.

When you connect to passworded server, then there is a box that asks for a password!
