Nope. Some people like their privacy and by capturing their local data, this might lead to some legal prosecution of the authors of HW for "stealing" such data.

PS: If someone want to tell his nationality, he may just post here in the forum or during a game in the chat. Perhaps an option in the menu will also do the trick.

They still could learn smth about you by your ip :P

Well, yes You have a point So remove Info-option in the server You can add player's stats in there instead of sniffing others panties

if you take care of your privacy, don't connect to internet...

Or if you do, via proxies and the likes.
If I'm correct, doom's most popular multiplayer source port, Skulltag, used a dll called ip2c (IP to Country) Which read the server's ip and output a country flag based on where its from
Maybe it doesn't really matter in this situation because the main server is in the same place anyways, but still. Also, if people have flags next to their names, they can choose to use their country one or not.

My internet traffic used to be transferred via Singapoure. You know what i'm driving at?

No... No I don't.

You're from Singapore?

Ha-ha oh wow. No I'm not, but i would have a Singapore flag due to this algorithm. That was really annoying, cause i couldn't download from "Russians Only" servers. The IP based recognition systems suck.

but your hedgewars is localizen in russian no?
then russian flag...

Localization depends on current system language. And it can vary too.

oh maaaaan!

Whut?
