The lobby capped at four, which is half a grid. The pod hall raced eight
and the egg builder already carries the owner plus maxExtraPilots, so
eight members fit with room to spare. CreateLobby now asks Steam for
eight and the roster arrays follow.
Checked what eight has to travel through before raising it: the go
roster is 43 bytes a member against an 800 byte buffer, the score sheet
41 against 600, and the pods list 21 against 512, so all three hold
eight with margin. The member side parses the go string with a cursor
rather than a fixed array, and RegisterRoster walks the count it is
given, so neither needed touching.
The layout is the part that could not just be renumbered. Rows were a
fixed sixteenth of the window, and eight of those ran off the bottom of
every window we support - the buttons are laid out upward from the
bottom edge while the roster runs down from the top, so the two meet in
the middle. The room now measures the band between the title and the
topmost button and sizes its rows to it, counted in half rows as
setup lines + gap + eight rows + gap + hint
so the row height falls out of the space actually available. It never
grows past the old sixteenth, so a two player lobby does not get circus
sized rows, and when the band cannot give eight rows the room the font
needs, the block is drawn in a font that does fit rather than letting
rows overlap.
The minimum row is the font cell plus two, not the cell plus an eighth.
That sounds like a detail and is not: at 1920x1080 the generous version
missed by one pixel and paid for it by dropping the conditions line out
of every football lobby, which is the one thing in the room nobody can
see for themselves.
Verified live on hosted lobbies at 1904x1041, and modelled across every
window size from 3440x1440 down to 800x480 in race and football, host
and member. Race keeps both setup lines everywhere; football, which
carries four stacked buttons, keeps both down to 1080 and drops to one
below that.
