Soccer arenas are classified as "tracks" in add-on menu #4410

Open Wuzzy2 opened 3 years ago

Description

In the add-ons menu, all soccer arenas are classified as “tracks” (rather than arenas). This makes them harder to find.

Version

STK 1.2

There should be an own category for soccer fields but this is more of an issue in stkaddons?

Wuzzy2 commented 3 years ago

It's probably both. If stkaddons is updated, the STK software needs to be updated as well (for the new tab), right?

Benau commented 3 years ago

need some thinking on how to do that as it breaks backward compatibility

Alayan-stk-2 commented 3 years ago

I have been thinking for a while now that soccer fields shouldn't be put under tracks. But I don't think putting them under arena is such a great idea either, rather they should get their own category. This would be the best to find faster a track/arena/soccer field in the addons list.

yeah. when the soccer will get its own category, it will be better.

Also some soccer fields are classified as "arenas" because FFA/CTF also can be ticked for the map, and they are only "tracks" when there's none of battle modes.

Probably it also makes sense to put all arenas where FFA/CTF can be played into one category, all arenas supporting soccer into another, etc. - while those sets might intersect, it better suits people who are searching maps for a single mode. (Technically, CTF is independent from FFA and is supported on OMC for example - should they be different categories? I'd rather say no)
