Map Manager

Post by dustin » Fri Sep 10, 2010 5:39 pm

The plugin manager window is going to get a Teams column.

Does it really need a version number column?

Should it get an achievements column that shows stars on beaten maps?

I don't think the achievements need to be in there - since they are visible from the main window already.

Version number isn't needed if you have the "installed/new version/available" columns still.

What would the teams columns show? A "yes" or a "no"?

I was thinking it might be good to have a better way of showing what the teams actually are for a given map, as in which players make up which teams. I've been putting that in the description, I don't know if that's the best place though.

Maybe in the "Play As" drop down you could also include the team symbols beside the names?

Teams column would show:
4v4v1
3v3
2v2v1

1x6
1x8 (for no teams maps)

That might be too easy to mistake as 1 player on their own and 8 others on a team, in other words 1x8 is too similar to 1v8. I'd suggest if there were no teams on a map to have it say something like "no teams." Then again, maybe I'm over thinking it.
