EvoGreenlitList

List of most urgent problems currently preventing players from playing evo.

Maps

Too much random map changes. Too much downloading, too much unsync = no games start.

Some commonly chosen maps are unplayable (space maps etc)

Solve: Maplist on ALL hosts.

Best only put ONE map so that players do not have to download much and can just play. Map could be: http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/eye-horus-v2

Singleplayer

Does not work with fresh install because there are no files.

One must first join a MP to download engine,map,mod.

Solve: Download files on login or something.

empty room, use !lock

The common solution to select an empty autohost and then lock the room does not work:

Players need to be manually to use !lock command. The empty hosts are impossible to find because players randomly join&leave all the time. Even if you join an empty host, hardly does one have enough time to type !lock before another player joins.

Bots, AIs

Needs filter for add-bot menu. Only evo-compatible bots must be listed. AAI is too often choosen because top of list but it does not work.

Solve: If nessecarly hard-coded hack in lobby might be needed? (real solution like implenting validAI.lua probally no time)

The evo-AIs reportedly "do nothing."

engine download

For unknown reasons often does not work.

"stops at 100%"

"nothing happens"
