[done] If AI replaces a player online the name shown should be changed

[Pizza90]

When we play online can happen that a player (or more) drops and the ai gets his place. The problem is that if you press "?" after the player got disconnected you still see his name as he was still playing, while it's the AI that is playing!  Often happens that players dont remember "who is who" like "who is yellow? who is red?" a way to see it it's pressing "?" but as i said if a player got disconnected minutes ago you still see his name and this can cause confusion! I suggest that in case the player gets disconnected the name should be changed to something like "CPU" or "AI" or "Pizza90(ai)" or "Pizza90(CPU)" or something like that so people would recognize easily that the player Pizza90 is not playing online any more and the one that is playing it's the AI.

Pizza90 seems like a great idea, because a lot of confusion when the player is disconected. The time behind develop Softcoder posted his desires, his was the player left the game could come back to it, if it even exists, the name would have to be changed more than once, it would be best Pizza90 (AI) or Pizza90 (CPU).

I generally like this idea, but keep in mind that adding (AI) is easily faked (unless parantheses are forbidden in player names including by editing glestuser.ini).

What would be the issue if someone fakes it? I don't see a benifit for doing so...

It could be in a different color or size.

[Pizza90]

I agree with John.d.h and of course the colour or the size (or both) used for the word "AI" should not be used by human players (so there should a restriction for the colour and/or the size).

Added in svn, we now prefix the username with *Disconnect* - playername

[tomreyn]

Thanks. I haven't tried it, yet, but *Disconnect* - is rather long, so I wonder what the final game stats screen will look like then...

[softcoder]

Yes it was too long. I've added a new String in the language file: AI=AI and now the playername will change to:

*AI* - playername

in the user status debug view and the final battle stats.
Thanks
