I think most of you saw today that the #sCreW and the CEW servers have got there name blinking...
"hope the devs say something about that I think it's a crappy idea and makes the server browser even more unprofessional looking D:" say's DES|Bukz
I agree completely!
1. It is really irritating
2. Makes the server list "crappy"
3. What an idea!
I hope it will be taken away...

So it's not just me who's been seeing that...
thought it was the pills lol
but yeah I agree it should be removed, it's very distracting when looking at the list

Well it could just as easily be the pills... depending on which server names are blinking for you o.O

I think they'd be using a script (batch/shell) to constantly change the description or name, set with the -n switch.

Keep it in cubescript, take it away from the servers.

You could make it so its an option in the settings.. "Enable Blinking Sever Text" or something like that, and possibly have it off by default. However, im not a coder, so i have no idea how much work that would be.
Or better yet, make it an option thats off by default, but dont put it in the settings menu, make people do /fancyservertext 1 or something lol.
If you make it an option, then people dont have to see it, and yet people who want to see it still can

Just have the client filter it out. Easy enough to do. If the client doesn't like the filter, they can recompile their client with it off.

I was just going by what other people were implying, do you expect me to read all of V-Mans comments?

perhaps from now on I should PM important updates to your inbox instead of hoping you'll find all of my hidden remarks scattered all over the forum like so many easter eggs in April.

Is this really an issue? If it bothers you so much, just use some white-out to cover it up.

Lol. There is no knowing how, it just comes naturally :P jk
You must comprehend all server documentation, then you must read every post and make use of the search feature on this site before you will find your answer. It is closer than it appears. If you still do not know I cannot help because I myself find the blinking a bit of an eye irritant :)
Edit: I prefer to use ductape to block out the blinking rather than whiteout, it is a little more efficient and less of a mess

I've been shocked by this - still need to find the person who coded this and then strangle them - what was he thinking? I see no sensible use for blinking.
The SVN has been updated, the option still remains but it is off by default and off in any menu too, unless it sets it on via CubeScript, which I'll never condone for the serverbrowser.
I'm actually seriously contemplating banning those servers that do this.

Don't lay blame, just fix.
And thank you.
