lobby Presets

Postby justmakenewgame » 17 Jul 2015, 06:58

just 2-3 standart presets that will include mods, rules, options. Easier to switch between testing things and hosting games. Also easier for noobs to host. MB even without user presets, just standard ones(if it complicates)

Agreed. I also would suggest maps to not be bound to lobby presets.
Help me make better maps for all of us, visit my Mapping Thread.

maps - sure. But mods in presets may be usefull, cuz they will be autoactivated when you join the game and stay activetaed, but you may not want them in your own games

PS you dont have to write "Agreed", Lionhardt. Easy to just press "like" :D

That's not how presets work currently, either.

It would probably make sense to have the lobby remember the last settings you hosted with, instead of the last settings you used.

This can probably be done pretty simply. I'll also throw in a couple of special presets along those lines: "last game I played", "last game I hosted", etc.

since you already have "Standard settings" button. All you have to do is change it for drop down menu. And add a button that saves current settings
