"create server" search filter

11/06/2015 20:14

Basically my idea is to have a search filter in "create server" where if you type 'bhop' for example; only maps with 'bhop' in the title would show up in the drop down list. Not only would it make it easier and faster to find maps when you're creating a new game, but it would also be handy for mappers who have a lot of beta versions of their maps. Last but not least this option would also help people finding a map they may have forgotten the name of. For example if one day I forget the name of kz_bhop_goldbhop, but then suddenly I remember it has "gold" in it, I would just type gold in the filter and any map with gold would show up.

What about mix maps? that have around 5-6 maps in it with different disciplines?
I have an idea, making a text file for each map with what includes in it for example when you go to create a map mix_example and next to it it would write : Has bhop,climb,slide,surf etc. or the names of the minimaps or other maps in it. sounds complicated but it would work great.

Flash your idea would work well once you get in the map on the motd screen, but not on the create game dialog, he wants a keyword search on the map list.

the real problem with this, and this is why i said you underestimate what it takes to make this, I was right, we would have to completely make our own create game dialog from scratch because this code rests in the engine code that we cant touch.

This basically means that it surely is possible and is a great idea, but that our list of priority features and changes for getting Greenlight ready are kind of in the way of such projects.
