[0.17.79] check for whitelist before mods

Post by Nexarius »

If you try to join a server it asks and downloads the mods + restart the game (twice) BEFORE it check if you are whitelisted for the server.

example: https://youtu.be/tOgJHB_7FKo

(side question why do I have to press confirm 5 times to join a server?)

Thanks for the report. The reason it works that way is due to the syncing logic not contacting the server until you've synced mods. The browse-games list has the list of mods on each server so the game syncs mods before even attempting to connect.

It's primary use is when you're connecting to servers you know you can already play on. There's a whitelist: any/yes/no filter if you want to not see servers that have whitelists enabled.

As for the "click confirm 5 times to join a server": that's not a thing. Nothing in your video shows you clicking confirm 5 times and there is no button in the game logic that requires you click it 5 times to work - so I have no idea what you're talking about with that :P

For direct connections I changed it so the rejection logic will reject for "not whitelisted" before "mods mismatch" which will do what you want.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
