Suggestion for menu improvement

[Gut_Eater]

I think it would be great to have a drop-down list for selecting the maps, and another one right next to it to select the game-mod. If e. g. CTF is chosen, the maps that are not made for CTF should be coloured grey and not selectable.
This would accelerate finding the right map. And you don´t have to switch game-mod in the console like e.g. "set g_minstagib 1; restart". For newbies this might be much easier. And for me it is more convenient .

Another improvement could be to have little buttons behind each item in the menu that resets this var to standard. If the var is standard, the button should be not clickable. So it would be easier to try out some settings without having to reset all vars and without having to know all values.

So, what do you think? And is it realisable?

I like the idea, but've got no idea about how hard it would be to do.

Aehem,

I think this was a really great idea. LOL, many people seem to care .
Unfortunately they all did PM me. And i dont tell you what they wrote .

Well the problem with the current menu stuff is that actually only one person really understands it and he does not have much time and there are no dropdown boxes for nexuiz so far.
I tried to get into the code a few times but its just too much and IMO quite confusing. Also i need to add/commit a few things (multi-campaign) as soon as i get hold of my PC again.
I'm not so sure whats wrong with the current map selection thing but that might be because i'm used to it and also rather use config files . You can choose the gametype in the upperleft arena and you will be presented only map(configs) for this gameype then to select. You can add that map to the list on the right, reorder or delete maps from there.. i my opinion thats easier then some dropdown box..
But as i stated problem is the menu code itself

The reset stuff might be doable but i'm not sure yet..

Well, iirc game-modes like e.g. minstagib cannot be selected via menu. Of course there are other ways to switch to other game-modes, but especially for neewbies it would be easier to select it right in the menu.

If the "reset-stuff" is realisable, i want it . (But maybe i am the only one )

Minstagib is in the menu, but not as gamemode, since it is no gamemode. It's just a mutator that can be combined with different gamemodes, so it's in Game Settings/Misc along with the other mutators...

I did not know that. Thx for the information .
