(Mainly, it is a PITA to work with the GUI.)
I also am not sure why you guys think this is any different that any other program you use that transmits information about the hardware you are using. I don't recall Firefox or any other browser throwing up a dialog saying that it will allow whatever site to query where I have been before, nor announcing what hardware/OS I am running. The same goes for the crash handler, when you tell people to upload the crash dump, it also contains similar info I am after. That is all implied is it not ? It is one thing if it was personal information, but just stating OS, CPU type, and gfx card type? It would only send said information when the user wants to connect to the lobby server. It will NOT do it automatically when you run the program. Anyway, perhaps a checkmark button on the lobby / IP/LAN screen screen will suffice for you all, or maybe have it as a option in the installer? I still need to know how to query for the information the correct way on linux & macs though. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
