Addable map folders

[Kavukamari]

if you climb a lot (like me) you probably have a krapload of maps in your maps folder, I sorted my maps, but am too lazy to change the folder name everytime I want to join a server, soooo...

I think Soldat should support multiple Maps folders and should have a "folder registry" text doc in soldat folder (you put map folder names in it and it recognizes it and adds it to a list in-game, just like the MP3 thingy, or the favorite servers list)

when you go to StartGame you will have a drop down menu with your map folders listed and you can choose which you want to select from (the game will count all maps in all folders as "active" meaning you can still join your servers w/o re-downloading the same map)

you will also be able to switch folders when you vote maps with another selecty thingy above the map selecty thingy to keep your climbs away from your defaults away from your ctfs

good idea?

Another idea:
when you are voting a map, if you press a letter (ie: 'C') the vote box will automatically jump to the first map with that letter as the first letter in the filename (most likely ctf maps, if c is pressed)

Yet another idea:
next maps are downloaded while in game (except when next map is changed)

It's a good idea, bricks told me that they are revamping the map download in the next version.
I don't know how hard it would be to implement but.

eh, why?
just use /votemap
i dont see the point in sorting/ordering maps

I have 600 maps in my folder.. imagine you want kz_tower in votemap for instance. but it starts out at let see ctf_b2b you have to press the right arrow about 500 times took me ages to get there last time i did that.

You could have just typed "/votemap kz_tower", which is exactly why we don't really need this.

[Kavukamari]

I know about /votemap but this would be for when you want to make your own server or something, to keep your maps organised so you can find your CTF maps in all those climbs

as i said, use /votemap.
also you can hold down the mouse button instead of clicking it 500 times.

That's what the ctf and kz tags are for.

It would still take a substantial amount of time to get to it...

...NOT IF YOU DO /votemap FFS.

ever notice how ctf_*normal ctf map name* and ctf_*climb map name* both have ctf as the tag?

Do you want to memorize how 600 different maps are exactly spelled.

[Thinkto urself]

I hate this too, but why not just make it a list?

Hmm... Good idea... It could be a box with the maps going all the way down screen, and the text size could be about This.
