Done Make Command to undo /ioo

[quziel]

With the advent of the permanent /ionext switch there's a lot of cases where I challenge a user to a battle (eg for a tournament), and because one of us forgot to untick the hide game box, the game is hidden and invite only. This requires two commands (/publicroom, /inviteonly off) to undo, and doing so can occasionally cause that weird red text bug.

This is a simple proposal to make a command (maybe /iooff) to turn off both simultaneously if possible.

Can you explain what the "weird red text bug" is?

 

[quziel]

Its a bunch of red text that appears when you turn off /ioo in some matches; had to get someone else's screenshot of it (was forwarded this screenshot, don't know who cathie wood is):

Okay that red text is fixed now.

Anyway, this is awkward because /ioo is just an alias for /inviteonly on. Setting a room to invite-only automatically makes the room hidden, because public rooms can't be invite-only.

All this is irrelevant because we have room passwords properly working, so I just updated it so the checkbox no longer sets inviteonly, just hidden. You can now make the room public with /publicroom as normal.

Thank you for the quick response on both issues.

Sorry, that was a typo; the command is /publicroom to make a battle public.

What do you mean by room passwords?

I assume that having it being hidden would just mean if you shared the link, whoever had the link could join?

Yes, the advantage of hidden rooms is that you can share the link instead of using the /invite command; they do the same thing and sharing the link can be easier.

"Room passwords" means that the link contains a password so it can't be guessed.

If the other person wants to share a link with some other people, yeah.
