Request: Prompt for Server Password

[jitspoe]

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 think this would be alot easier and help out when new players don't know how to enter passwords

Seconded.  Most people don't know how to enter a passworded server with out Zorch's handy menus.

They have the password thing on his menus?  OMG.  I have been so left behind by everyone.

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.

[blaa]

 There is a message box already?!?!

[Zorchenhimer]

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!

[ViciouZ]

Yeah, zorch, it was packaged for release like 3/4 builds ago...

[ViciouZ]

cl_passwordpopup 0

Then the status needs to be changed: http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10131
