Scenario Listing Feature Request

[c3k]

Gents,

I've pulled out some of my comments from the "Hello Battlefront" thread.

The graphic representation of scenario information is being discussed over there.

My point is to highlight the usefulness of putting scenario information into an excel style format. That would allow the user to easily and quickly filter through the many scenarios to find the one he wants.

Comments?

"Also, the oft-requested scenario sorting feature would be greatly appreciated. An excel style spreadsheet which allows the user to set filters to find the right scenario would enhance the game's usability.

Right now one of the strengths of the game engine is the ability to create scenarios and campaigns. Going to CMMODs (THANKS!) shows how many there are right now. That pool will only increase in size.

THE ONLY CURRENT WAY TO SORT SCENARIOS IS ALPABETICALLY!!!

C'mon.

Here are some suggested sorting criteria (adjustable/selectable by the user):

Date

Size, map

Size, forces

Force type

Opposing Nationality

Objectives

Length

Region

Have I played it yet?

Did I win?

Did I lose?

Best score/record?

Review score by others (is it a popular scenario or is it a dog?)

Time of Day

Environment

Weather Conditions

Terrain Types

Reinforcements

Support: Artillery, Air

Etc.

Regards,

Ken"

Maybe it's time to include a CMSF scenario directory in scenariodepot website.

Darkmath,

That's a great idea. But, I still think having some sort of system other than just using the first letter of the scenario title would help users choose the scenario to play.
