How can I find out who's human? Or if there are any at all?

In multiplayer games often sometimes people leave or there are technical difficulties or whatever. How can I find out if there are still human players left or who they are?

Just look at the ping - If it stays normal, it means that the player's online

Bring up the status menu by pressing the enter key on your numpad! Also, take a look at the icons near players name - those show the last unit built by your enemy, so that you can keep track of their plans (Ssshh! I didn't tell you anything :ninja: )

AFAIK, a player's 'stuff' should explode when they leave.

And with 2.2, everything will explode when they leave, (2.x still has walls up).

The ping time would be like 2000 on bad connections or something like that.
(which also has changed in trunk, as soon as I commit a patch or three :ninja: )
and it ends here.

Good news, indeed!

Still, looking at the ping is useful - if there's no ping, the lpayer is offline as far as i can remember from the last online game i played... Also, you can't always see you enemy's buildings. The game can be out of sync right as it starts and you can end up building your base and army then find out that you're playing alone against cpu. Not funny at all!
