Zoltan Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi All, so far I have played only one time a multiplayer game. The reason might be, that I find it difficult to find people when I would have time to play. Therefore an suggestion: If it would be possible to create an Outlook style calendar inside the forum I think it would be much easier to find enough people for a battle.

Tacbat Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If you open the "Forum" link, you should see a black menu bar just below the top of the screen with another link to "Calendar". Just wanted to point this out, but I'm not sure how it works for adding new events.You also might consider asking around the various Virtual Units (VU's) about when they get together for their MP sessions. You might be able to join them for a game or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoltan Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes there is a really a calendar! But that's not exactly that, what I was thinking of. In my eyes this calendar is more suitable to write birth days into it, but not to plan a game because - it is in the wrong place -> why isn't it placed on the multiplayer games site? - a e.g. bargraph-like diagram makes it much easier, to get a fast overview of the listed times of the other users. For example: I have created a Test Event in the actual calendar: This looks like this ---------------------------- 09:00 PM - 12:00 AM Test Event ---------------------------- If 20 people would enter all their times, this would look like this: ---------------------------- 09:00 PM - 12:00 AM Playing SB 04:00 PM - 11:00 AM Playing SB 02:50 PM - 18:10 AM Playing SB 09:00 PM - 12:50 AM Playing SB 04:00 PM - 11:00 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 12:00 AM Playing SB 09:00 PM - 12:30 AM Playing SB 06:00 PM - 17:00 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 18:00 AM Playing SB 09:00 PM - 12:00 AM Playing SB 04:00 PM - 11:00 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 18:30 AM Playing SB 11:00 PM - 18:40 AM Playing SB 04:05 PM - 12:55 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 19:00 AM Playing SB 06:00 PM - 17:00 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 18:00 AM Playing SB 09:00 PM - 12:00 AM Playing SB 04:00 PM - 11:00 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 18:30 AM Playing SB 11:00 PM - 18:40 AM Playing SB 04:05 PM - 12:55 AM Playing SB 02:00 PM - 19:00 AM Playing SB ---------------------------- -> no one would take the time to compare all the times in this kind of calendar. It is simply not thought for that purpose. That might be the reason, why it isn't placed on the multiplayer side, and why no one uses it. But using the above mentioned bar graph calendar would be much more "ergonomic". There would be even enough space left for this calendar on the Online_Play site: Regards Zoltan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted November 19, 2007 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2007 Do you have any interest in coding something like this up in php? Then I could put it on the site.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
