[Idea][Muiltiplay] - Maps loader from host.

[nhan27]

Hello,

Thank you for a good game and freedom.

Proplem is: If host have his own map. He want play with user on lobly. He must upload it to some where, tel others to download and pase into *mods/public/maps/ folder to play with him. This make lazy users don't want to help him do a test.

The idea [2]:

• Make a plugin which is will auto download map from host if the map is not exsit in his computer.

This is not requite a server for mods. Quick share maps you just make.

• Make a mods server where user can download and install mods with one-click only.

This is requite a server to stores maps, mods and build future for 0ad. But it stop some cheat. Mods can be review by developments or some one have permisstion before upload.

Then, This is just my ideas. I understand 0ad developers have many many things to do. But I hope you can do some things like my ideas. It will make 0ad have more maps, mods and more tester and grow faster.

Thank you again beacuse create this wonderfull game.

P/s: Some time, this game make me want to learn write code for help build this game haha ( )

The plan is to have a mod repository at some point. We probably won't host the mods (as they can be huge), but we can index mods and make them accessible to the players from inside the game.

The mod manager would only need a download button and an implementation for downloading. And of course we need the server infrastructure, and a way for people to register mods.
