I realize that editing the config to add/remove bans is cumbersome, but I haven't really had the time to sit down to do a UI until now

possible to make buttons on the right side with buttons corresponding to different actions? instead of a pop up menu?

possible but I've gone this route to be more gamepad friendly
I tested button bindings for actions, buttons within the lines and the dialog and the dialog was the least frustrating to use
one important thing the video may not show clearly is that players that joined the server and left are still kept in the player list, so if someone leaves the server you can still ban them (the history is only kept for the current session, though, for now)

could probably do something similar like with persistent loadouts?

could probably do something similar like with persistent loadouts?
it's on my roadmap, I'm avoiding it for now because saving large files can make it unable to read them
when a file is more than 65 thousand characters long there will be difficulties reading and writing it, it's a bug in Reforger, and this is why my loadouts mod will sometimes feel like your loadout has reset when you previously had one - I would rather reset the loadout than have the server crash when trying to save it, similarly having a player history list that appears to randomly reset itself is not fun
lucid jay
I also need to figure out how many entries is too many before doing something like this, there might be some limit of maximum data sent via network in a short timeframe

Can it read from more than one source?
lucid jay
sure, hoping for some kind of database in the future though like MySQL
lucid jay
if any users of the current mod are interested in test driving the new menu I will be happy to DM credentials of a test server
the update to main version will be out sometime saturday, if you'd like to control the update of the mod, or make the server not update the mod automatically on restart (and possibly get stuck) please mark the version in your mods config, 1.0.19

sounds like a good use case of my db framework then. i'll post about its workshop release later this month here in showroom too, when its out we should see how you could use it 🙂
lucid jay
it will be hard to implement on hosting providers
the most efficient way to go about this would be to have the server exchange information with an api and have server owners never have to worry about maintaining the database, but then you run into the whole "but what if the guy gets bored of the mod and shuts it down" thing
harsh egret
You can throw this kind of db api onto a tiny vps for like 4€ a month together with your community website or what ever. though i intend to try and offer a hosted solution with simple restrictions like not more than 10k db records that you can utilize for free. and if i would want to shut it down the same project could be hosted by another person who manages a single bigger server that gives people a little free playground to fool around with. we will see. even if mysql was somehow natively supported in enscript the challenges actually remain the same. you don't usually get any free db hosting anywhere, not without a paid webspace bundle. after heroku shut down I do not know of any trustworthy place to get a 250mb mysql/postgres db or something like that.
lucid jay
yep there is no good way to handle this in the mod itself for now
even if you had native support for mysql you're likely not going to get it to work on a server provider (with a local database, anyway, since they wouldn't provide you one most of the time)

Why is there no counter how many tactical bacons are present?
lucid jay
will leave it like this for now
it looks better on a "normal" screen instead of an ultrawide

releasing tomorrow around 1 PM GMT+2
