What's up with playerlist?

lrdmukasa · 08-07-2004, 10:18 AM

Has anybody else seen this? When you log onto
EFU.It shows a different number of players on
than are really playing.For example Yesterday it
showed one player but when you log onto the game
and check the players there might be seven on and
one of them is listed twice.I believe his name was
short stuff.Anyway I logged on this morning and the
same thing is happening except now there are four
players named short stuff and all are the same classes
and levels.Anyway after seeing this I just went back to
Durnan's and ordered another round

P.S Did you know durnan has an easy payment plan [img]smile.gif[/img]
I do now

That Short Stuff character is mine, it seems to have been locked in the game the times the server has disconnected me.

There are three different points at which you can check for other players.

The number you see on the Gamespy list, or rather the official amount of players, includes every player, every dm, everyone who hasn't picked a character yet, and everyone who was active in the server up until a few moments ago. Sometimes including yourself.

The playerlist you can view while selecting your character shows every player and dm that is already in-game with a selected character. It also shows everyone who picks a character. It doesn't show when someone logs out, so it's possible that a player relogging will appear twice to you. Logically, you yourself would never show on this list as you'd have to pick a character first.

The playerlist in-game shows only the players other than yourself who have selected a character. It doesn't show dms, people without characters, or people who were in-game until recently.
