Bugzilla – Bug 3791
Give access to unseen players' setup
Last modified: 2006-08-05 14:23:09 UTC
When a player isn't connected to SlimServer, you have no access to its settings. You can't view the player's settings for setting up another player, and you can't change the settings. You can't even 'forget' the player without manually editing the prefs file. How about creating a page within the server settings that lists and gives access to all known players, connected or not? Leave the home page as it is, with only links to connected players.
I believe this is redundant. there is an old enhancement request to keep track of and choose to forget all known players. can't be bothered to spend 30 minutes searching this mess tho.
Kevin, you were right. Here it is at bug 429 in all "this mess". I think it should be done, despite the arguments why it might cause civilization as we know it to cease. Something isn't right if the very act of accessing the configurations of these disconnected players must cause catastrophic failures of the server.
prefs files and client handling has changed a great deal since then for the very obvious reasons you have just stated. These two reports should probably be merged and when/how this gets into a build plan can be determined at the meeting metioned by chris in bug 3790
