Replace Tools->Start NetPlay with two separate options: - Tools->Connect to Netplay opens a simple dialog asking for IP:port. These are intentionally one field, for easier copy and paste. (Also, on OS X, the dialog now displays a proper error sheet if the connection failed.) - Right clicking a game, or going to the File menu, and choosing Host Netplay Game opens the netplay window. This way you don't have to use a separate, ugly list to select a game, and it's less clicking. Also stop sending localized strings as unique identifiers over the wire, that's just silly. What's missing: - A way to set your nickname, coming right up. - A way to set the hosting port. UDP hole punching is going to give you a random external port anyway, and mostly obviates the need to have a predictable one.
