Hanging up/leaving the realm

[Ian]

Is there any reason why we can't put an "Ian just left the realm" message before or after a hangup message?  Just so the mega will recognise people have left.
There are two places this gets me:
1. In the convo window, player entries show up (and I think player exits do too), but not hangups
2. In the "Who's online" list, Valentine ends up being shown 20 times because she keeps hanging and reconnecting.  Soul too.

Opinions?

I agree.

why not just change
<name> just disconnected!!!
to
<name> just hung up!!!

???

wouldnt that solve the problem?

[Ian]

Does mega detect that?  I assumed it only detected "Blah has left the realm" (or whatever the real message is, you rarely see it :)).

Maybe I really am in there 20 times. Ever think of that? Hmm?

I'm up for fixing it if you guys figure out which option(s) will work.

Well I can confirm that the real message is "Blah just left the Realm." (capital R is intentional).  But I also just noticed that Vitoc already has that in Gmud.

So I decided to test Ghaleon's idea, and yes, "<name> just hung up!!!" does work.
Guess our message is just subtly different (and this time I'll believe Ghaleon that it's "<name> just disconnected!!!").

I guess all that has to be done is to change the message.  Easy fixed.
