How would I show info on the hub such as who is hosting the game(the info next to the join game button). Example: http://games.byond.com/hub/IccusionEntertainment/Seika

P.S. How would I show info on the DS window header such as how many players are on(the same one that shows the name of the game)

Something such as:

  world.status = "[world.name] version (input version or whatever here)"


But, if you want to add a player amount you have to find a library on that which there are some that will help you out in that. Also, you can edit the world status to whatever you wish, as well.

mob/Login()
players += 1
world/status = "[world.name] players: [players]"// Updates itself.
..()

mob/Logout()
players -= 1
world/status = "[world.name] players: [players]"// Updates itself.
..()

var/players

world/status = "[world.name] : Players: 0"//Defult.

Or preferably correctly. Your code needs to be indented to work.

Of course far far better than a player count is a players list, which is more versatile.

I don't suggest leaving mob's in the world when they log out(del(src)).

This should work all you have to do is change the text to whatever. Oh yeah and .. the text above is my old games so eh.. don't worry about that.
