Minecraftforge: [Feature Request] - Customizable (by server admin) reject message

[ghost]

Will be possible add custom reject message, when client connect to server and have wrong version/missing mods? Instead of mod list rejections server send custom message for example: "You have wrong version of mods, please update modpack" - this message will be configurable at server side and show to client when disconnected.

This feature will be very useful when backported to 1.7.10 too.

Many youngest players does not understand rejecting message with list of mods.

I personally think this should be done with a mod.

1) Backporting is a no, JUST FREAKIN UPDATE!
2) We've talked about this quite a few times before, and deemed that its not needed and is just advertising BS. But I will leave it up to cpw to decide.

any progress?

I think this error message could use a general improvement in Forge so that it can benefit everyone, like with the missing mods error screen done here: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/pull/2997

no progress?

What is the likelihood of this going into Forge? I'd rather not touch stuff like this in SpongeForge if at all possible.

Idk why is this feature request ignored two years. I think implementing will help many and many players understand why cannot join to modded server. This can help grow community around modded servers.

A custom reject message will cause more confusion. Isn't the current reject message clear enough?

[ghost]

I prefer custom reject message instead of present list of rejected mods. Try to look at the eyes of an inexperienced player, a rookie in Minecraft, who do not say anything like FML, and so on. That's what's going on here. I just want a message that will be friendly to the newcomers.

Then you should strive to improve the default message (make a PR?) and not make your own custom one, which will just confuse matters even more.

Custom = configurable at server side.

[ghost]

For example on my server want message in the czech languange, any other admin on its own server would like message with url to their private modpack etc...

[raoulvdberge]

No, the current message should just be improved.

Again, having a custom message is more confusion since the player can't easily identify reject GUIs otherwise.
