This idea is not mine, but I thought It should have its own threat.
As peter777 posted: "Another suggestion: there is no easy way to save a link to favorite maps of others. So maybe there could be something like a 'favorites' tab?"
I say: Absolutely!
favorite maps tab would help soooo much. I have often seen maps I wanted to play, but could not open a game straight away, neither could I copy it (due to restrictions). And remembering the name of the author is hard sometimes. Favorite maps would help a lot.
Would also be cool to browse your mates favorite maps.
I was already considering writing a tool that would store some map-IDs I would give it. greasemonkey or other. Bookmark maps for later consideration and all.
Seconded/thirded
Absolutely
+1 for easier access to maps and for ways to keep tabs on them.
We are working in this right now. You'll be able to "bookmark" and browse published maps. We call the associated mile stone "map universe"
it is up now: http://weewar.com/maps/popular
You can also add descriptions to your maps now. Quite exciting to see the section fill up as everybody is picking favorites.
Wheeee!!! This is great!
very nice to have this alex... well done!
lucky: that brings up a good point. so as far as i can tell alianthus didn't change the map scary pirate island, and there are other duplicate maps in the queue that also aren't changed from the original. is there any way that we can combine map stats for all like maps? otherwise there will be three or four different/same versions running around. doesn't seem streamlined...
i do think that the frequent maps is good and i love that you can see how many plays your map gets...
Really good job with the maps-update. Excellent!!!
Great job! =) And yeah, alupa brings up a good point about map copying - how about: whenever a map is copied, a note is automatically added in the description saying that the original map was made by X or that this map was modified from a map made by X. Such an addition could grow when a copied map is copied and when a copied copied map is copied, etc. And it can be removed by the person doing the copying if they so desire.
that is a great idea. Should not be too hard to implement either.
Thats good too spadequack, but i just meant that since people can publish other players maps it would make sense that if there aren't any changes then it would only appear as one map. i don't mind not having my name on maps (they're free to all), i just think that to get the proper map stats (played, preferred by, etc...) then it would make sense to combine the existing maps listed that are the same. This would also apply to super popular maps (aruba, one on one, etc...) that also seem to be duplicated in the map list. But as always, i'm good with whatever, just thought i'd offer some feedback.
Word.
i want my name on my map
