The installer will move your files to this location so you don't lose your current settings or server lists. If you want to keep it all in one directory, create an empty file called 'portable.txt' in the directory where MonsterBrowser.exe is located. - Change: The key for opening a remote console window is now F9, as F10 is the standard key for opening the menu on Windows. F10 will still work, at least in this version. - Fix: Using multiple protocol versions with the same master server didn't work properly. - Fix: The button for opening the game configuration now works on Vista. v0.6 - 2009-08-03 ----------------- - New: Remote console (rcon). - New: When multiple servers are selected, you can place the mouse pointer over a player name to get a tool tip showing the server name.

It does no longer cause Monster Browser to dump the servers it already knows about and start from scratch. Instead it makes MB synchronize itself with the master server, removing servers that are gone, and adding new ones. The servers that were already known to run the right game/mod are not requeried, but all the rest are. The "Refresh list" button was renamed to "Refresh all". It works like before, except for one thing. The first time you press it after doing a "Check for new", it will retry any servers that timed out during that operation. This should increase the chance of getting all relevant servers. Other changes: - New: Button icons. - New: Restore previous window position. - New: A setting for how many servers to query simultaneously. You can lower this if you get too many timeouts, to see if it helps. - Change: Display servers that timed out, showing an infinity sign in the ping column. v0.4b - 2009-02-01 ------------------ - New: Added default settings and game type names for Smokin' Guns. - New: Added support for Tremulous. - New: Added "regKey" and "exeName" keys to the game configuration, to support getting the install path from the registry. - New: Added "mod" and "protocolVersion" keys to the game configuration. - New: Can now press F4 to get a new list, F5 to refresh. - New: Can now press Esc to interrupt operations. - Change: Made name colors darker for better readability. - Fix: Installer didn't create shortcuts by default. v0.4a - 2008-08-01 ------------------ - New: Try to autodetect Quake 3's installation path by using the registry. - Fixed: Crash when specifying a server, and it doesn't reply. - Fixed: Made independent of working directory. v0.4 - 2008-07-20 ----------------- - New: Colored names for servers and players - New: Flags showing the nationality of each server. - New: Using Windows theming makes it look better. - New: Session state is now being saved and restored. Sort order, filter state, layout and column widths. - New: Right-click menu for servers. - New: Select multiple servers to see the players for all of them. - New: Better at guessing game install locations, but still pretty bad. - New: Display an error message if the game's executable was not found when attempting to join a server. - New: Added an ugly application icon. - New: When refreshing servers or retrieving a new list, the extra servers are included in the total number of servers. - New: Allow whitespace before and after address in Specify Server dialog. v0.3d - 2007-10-13 ------------------ - New: Added custom settings to be able to get servers for, and to launch, World of Padman. - Fix: Reloading of mods.ini after editing didn't work. - Fix: Saving of server lists when the master server address contains a port number - Fix: Corrected incremental sort. - Fix: Keep the same server selected when changing the sort order or column. v0.3c - 2007-06-10 ------------------ - New: Added 'Specify...' button that lets you add extra servers to the list. - New: Read extra servers from '.extra' file. - Fix: Don't overwrite important status bar messages with less important ones. - Fix: Player score sort order got messed up if you clicked on the server again. v0.3b - 2007-06-02 ------------------ - Fix: 'Get new list' included too many servers, corrected to behave the same as 'Refresh list'. v0.3a - 2007-05-20 ------------------ - Fix: Filters didn't always work when doing a refresh. v0.3 - 2007-05-18 ------------------ - New: Custom master server and executable for each mod. Check out mods.ini. - New: Don't get a new list when switching mods, just do a refresh instead. If the mod has been refreshed already, just display the list without refreshing. This makes it a lot faster to check the server lists for more than one mod. - New: Selection marker stays on the selected server when recieving servers. - New: Server list and player list sorts are now stable (ie. multiple column sorting works again). - Fix: Get more servers for some mods, like InstaUnlagged and OSP. - Fix: Shouldn't hang when querying servers or when exiting the program anymore. - Fix: The server table flashes a bit less when recieving servers. - Fix: Servers get added to the list much faster, not taking network slowness into consideration. v0.2 - 2006-10-16 ----------------- - New: Show which servers are passworded. - New: Save passwords in the settings file. - Change: Don't show join dialog for servers that don't require a password. - Change: Remember which server was selected when it's filtered out, reselect when it's not filtered out anymore. - Fix: Don't show players or cvars for a server that is not selected, or for the wrong server. v0.1 - 2006-07-12 ----------------- - Initial release.
