Map info in tooltips #263

Open CrazyEddieTK opened 7 years ago

Basic information about each map should display in a tooltip when you hover over the map, both in the game setup screen and in the map chooser dialog box.

Things to include: size, teamsize / 1v1 / FFA / chickens, and perhaps things like sea and hills. Possibly also the description (where present), perhaps only in the setup screen and not the chooser.

This can be done by selecting via website which has these data.

Getting info about the currently-selected map shouldn't require switching to a browser, when simply hovering over the map in the game setup screen would do it instead.

Selecting a new map in the current UI is simple and fast, and that's good. Using the website to select a map is also good, because it allows you to search and to specify parameters, but the simple selection method in the current UI should remain, and would be enhanced greatly by showing some basic information about each map in a tooltip.
