Easy Auto Join (Multi Server)

Description
Easy Auto Join - Smart Multi-Server Queue Manager

Key Features:

Multi-Server Monitoring - Select up to 10 preferred servers simultaneously

Fast Refresh - Checks for slots every 500ms

Smart Reserved Slot Detection - Accounts for reserved slots on Diamond (2), BAD (2), DMD (2), and Hideout (1) servers

Auto-Reconnect System - Automatically rejoins queue if connection fails (server full, auth failure, reserved slot conflicts)

Persistent Server Lists - Your selections survive disconnections and continue monitoring



How to Use:

Method 1 - Auto-Join Manager:
1. Open Community Servers tab
2. Click checkboxes next to desired servers (up to 10)
3. Click START AUTO-JOIN button

Method 2 - Quick/Easy Double-Click:
• Double-click any server to instantly add it and start monitoring

Method 3 - Standard Join Button:
• Select a server and click JOIN - automatically activates queue system

The mod will monitor all selected servers and join the first one with an available slot!



Advantages over other queue systems:
Faster - Checks every 500ms instead of every second
Multi-server - Monitor up to 10 servers instead of just 1
Persistent - Server list survives disconnections
Smarter - Continues monitoring all servers, not just the last one



Feedback or suggestions are appreciated. Will be making fixes and changes for a while until optimized.

Not a dumbass this time at least! You'd be correct as of now. I'll be shipping a few fixes soon including disabling it for password protected servers by default and a few additional experimental features. Fair point though I'll probably add that to the fixes as well, at least as a console toggle if not a ui toggle.
Unless I'm being more of a dumbass than normal, there seems to be no way to override the mod's expectation that the player doesn't have access to reserved slots on a server. Would be good to add some kind of immediate way to force a join or even better, tell the mod that you have access to reserved slots on certain server groups (eg, BAD, DMD).

I made a modification to Queue Plus that did this that I was using otherwise, putting reserved slots as an accessible int in mod settings (in case things ever change) with a bool to just bypass the reserved slot check entirely and assume you can get on if there are any empty slots.
