#5209 new enhancement

Custom map filters to make random Random map selection more feasible

Description

Random maps have the ability to adapt to any settings chosen by the host and hence there is a "Random" item that choses a random Random map once the host presses the "Start Game" button.

But often players would prefer to omit some of the 65+ random maps (most notably Survival Of The Fittest).

So players could be able to create custom map filters and select the maps to filter individually or by adding keywords.

In the first step, only the host has the filter and loads it, probably from the userconfig file. The clients can just display "Custom List" in the filter setting as a placeholder.

(It sounds like too much effort to broadcast the maplistfilter to show the clients which maps may be chosen from. If that support is provided, we should ideally also allow clients to view mappreviews.)

Dupe or ref of some ticket I created some time ago. (Will search it later)

It's #4470. You should have searched before...

What do you think why I updated a number of tickets and posted https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21499-using-phabricator/ ......

I didn't find it because the ticket doesn't contain the word "filter" anywhere.

Move tickets to Game Setup as UI & Simulation got some sub components.
