Obviously, most of you have noticed the new GCQL client (dubbed GCQL 2.0).
If you have any issues at all, or suggestions on the GCQL client only, then please post them here, and I will update this post regularly.
A dedicated thread for the game will be made at a time where we (the developers) see the need for one - so please keep this on topic.
- Jack
Suggestions:
- New chat sound - done
- Tabbed windows
- Option to dock windows
- More control over friends list
- Manual button
Issues:
- Changing name, password or email results in wrong message, and then crashes GCQL. [Fixed]
- Chat time stamp a few minutes out of sync. [Solved when ported to release]

I like the *blup* sound with /send messages, but I'd bring back the old thud for normal ones too.

Tabbed windows (Ala Firefox) rather than seperate taskbar icons. Its really a pain when you multitask like I tend to.
Perhaps an option to use the old-style client (chat in bottom browse/games in top?)

Ability to be in several rooms at once (Tabbed windows, or a seperate window for each) would be something nice to see. Able to be in a private room, and in the public lobby at the same time..

how bout fe/male icons showing who and what are guys and girls i'd also like the option in our profiles showing what gender we are providing we get asked "are you a guy or a girl" heh
Female/Male Gender Icons and Male or Female Check Boxes if that made sense lol

That'd be rather bad.. Due to certain players trying to hit on others, or making fun of their sex..

and we have enough of that already.
+1 for tabbed windows, multi-chat though

Also agree for tabbed viewing.

I tried to impliment a tabbed version of GCQL (or rather, just using the buttons), but I came across a few issues when trying (every button would work except Servers for some reason).
I'll talk to Faustus once he's finished the more important tasks, and see if he can take a look at it, as well as moving Chat & Web, and Games & Servers into one window (so we only need two).

Not so much a Bug, but can we rename Groups back to Fleet? or Clan or something a little less... Crappy?

- Friends -> Both users need to agree to be on their friends list. Be it a pop up confirmation box, and/or command.
- Main Buttons -> Big fat (ok, normal sized) Manual button that links to the manual.
- + on the idea of multiple room access
- When the chat window is in focus, update the users /status. Reason being when a player enters a server their status is changed to "playing on...", but when they leave a server gcql is not re-opened so the status would remain as "playing on...".
edit: on the note of Friends list, maybe a deny request list if they become persistant with it, like the ignore list but for friend requests.

Definately a + for multiple room access. Maybe it could be modified so that instead of rooms there is just the main lobby and various player created/admin created channels.
