Lobby

From CoCWiki

The Lobby

The lobby is the main window of Call of combat, from where you can access all game features. The lobby contains vital information about each players: Former Names, Rank, Statistics, Server lists And status. It also has a live chat, in which strange and rather funny conversations may occur. Sometimes people even advertise AG games in there!

The lobby consists of four major parts and then some other finer details.

The Main Chat

The main chat is generally where most conversations (apart from flaming wars) occur. It is normally the place where people advertise AG games. talk to one another and communicate with the rest of the CoC community. The Chat has a few specific features. 1. It has a specific area for Ag members to chat, with no filters (The language used to should still be reasonable or you may face expulsion from your AG) 2. The supporter group chat feature allows supports to initiate and maintain group chats, as well as inviting people. All supporters in the group chat may invite members. 3. That chat holds many short cuts. i will list them here: (note, this section is not my work, but taken from the page before editing.

The Friends List

The friends list allows you to see the current status of your friends (This is supporter only)

If a custom status is set, it will be shown in conjunction with the automatic ones 1. On line 2. Idle 3. Off line 4. In game This can be very useful tracking down a particular player, and also highlights the player as a blue square, when in a game.

The Server List

The server list and server filters show you up to date information about the current server status and players involved, there are also highlighted (blue for friends & orange for AG mates)

The server list also has a server filter:

The filter allows you to Select what rooms you actually want to see, i.e Filter out rooms your too high or low rank to play in, as well as beta rooms. it will then 'disappear' next time you hit the refresh button.

This is the server list, it contains all the information about the current games in progress and who is in them, it pretty much is self explanatory. Click 'Join' to Join and 'Refresh' to Refresh the server list

The Help Bar

The help bar contains useful information about the game rules and the maker of the game. It also allows you to submit bug reports. Read up on guides, and join an AG. It is a valuable tool for using the lobby

The help bar, also contains links to your's and other's statistics. and allows the user to create manual rooms (note: this is normally quite difficult if you have a modem)

It also contains a lobby option function.
