Hey all. Following up the discord release (https://discord.gg/zUgxbwD) we've got another batch of features ready.
First off, saved servers will now (optionally) store your RCON password. We previously didn't allow this due to security concerns; but since you're trusting us with the plaintext RCON password anyways (to setup and monitor the lobby server) we're now allowing you to choose to let us save it for you. Manage your saved servers here: https://www.tf2stadium.com/settings/servers
We also have 4 more features based upon suggestions from the group running http://chapelaria.top . If you're playing TF2 in South America, give them a shot! Their features are:
1. Lobby shuffling: lobby leaders can shuffle a lobby (players will stay as their chosen classes, and they will un-pre-ready after a shuffle).
2. Save recently used maps: when creating a lobby, we'll remember maps you've recently used and show them at the start of the map list.
3. Discord lobbies: As an alternative to mumble lobbies, you can now enter in 2 discord channel invite links as part of the lobby creation process and players will get the correct link when the lobby starts. NOTE: unlike mumble lobbies, we don't own or anyway control the discord server
4. Custom team names: The lobby leader can rename the teams (like in tournament mode)... though the names won't persist into the actual server (yet!)
As always, if you're interested in joining in on creating new features (or improving existing ones), feel free to reach out in our discord (again, https://discord.gg/zUgxbwD ) or on github ( https://github.com/tf2stadium/QA/issues ). We're especially looking for JavaScript or golang programmers, but anyone with ideas and the desire to see them through is very welcome.
Alternatively, you can also help the site by hosting lobbies on it and inviting your friends!
