Request server change

[Godmave]

A way to ask the player if he wants to connect to another server.

Someting along the lines of

Code: Select all

player.confirmServerConnect{ ip = "10.11.12.13", port="12345", name="Grid 2-4: Smelting" }

If he clicks "Yes" the game client is restarted with the -mp-connect argument.

Use-case: Clusterio. Would give the ability for players to switch to another server by stepping in a transition zone and getting prompted to switch servers.
Or sitting in a train that is teleported to another server.
Or even just a custom ui, listing all available nodes of a cluster to choose from.

Does not even have to restart the client either, just connect to the new server.
A restart would only be required if the mods differ, but that should be handled in 0.17 anyway.

I'd like this functionality. Then we could easily navigate the 50 or so worlds in our cluster and players would have an in-game way of doing so.

just for info since i found this thread linked in another thread which had a similar request
and which just got moved to "implemented mod requests"

Code: Select all

connect_to_server{address=..., name=..., description=..., password=...}

Ok, I've added it for the next version of 0.17.
