Game list: Adding how long the game has been running for?

Postby TrueChaos » Tue Jul 30, 2013 11:49 am

How about this for game list:
For example:

Category:
Put the GN: [ENT] "#" to autohost category:

Autohost: [ENT] "#"
Games in progress:
Games Running: Duration: 50:07
[ENT] DotA apem ca/us #99

Public hosting:
Game in progress:
Games Running: xxDragoonxx Duration: 45:00

What's the point of having this? The main reason for having a game list on our website is to see games in lobby that are currently filled with players or even just to copy down the game name.

This is for if you check mark "Include game in progress" the reason for having the duration is people waiting for their friends game to finish. But they can check how long the game has been playing for.

I think this would be a decent idea and probably not "that" hard to code.

Any thoughts on this nearly 2 month old suggestion @uakf.b?

I like this idea maybe also adding something to tell you how long it's been in lobby for or something along those lines so you can see if people are joining or if it's just been in lobby for 2 hours. I'm sure there is some way to determine this via the website but if there isn't I'd totally support this idea.

I don't think this would necessarily be something hard to implement would it @uakf.b ? GHost bots already record game times and lobby times (the !getgames and !getgame # commands both display the times, so they should theoretically be retrievable right?)

Confused whether it's for how long games have been in lobby or how long games have been in game. Or both?
