Or, because making all this is not nice : there is currently an option : -nowww to disable network. I propose : - associate F8 to the -nowww switch (enable/disable network) - when a connection fails, disable network and display a message : "Network disabled, press F8 to enable it" - neckelmann, we shoud add an osd for "Xmoto system message" to display some messages. Example : when a level starts, i do Game.Message(name_of_the_level) using the internal motogame messages ; an other game messages system would be nice because it's not the same message type (and more over, when the motogame ends when you finish a level, the messages cannot be displayed). Any other idea ? === private, to neckelmann === I'm away from october 18th to 31th. I gave to the only dude ( = emmanuel gorse, = svg2lvl author) a lot of rights on the website in case of problem. === === Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
