Different Pre-load Tileset Idea

What would you like to see in Freeciv? Do you have a good idea what should be improved or how?

Different Pre-load Tileset Idea

Post by GriffonSpade »

So, we now (2.6+) automatically load a tileset upon joining a server. Just a thought, but wouldn't it be better if instead of the client automatically loading a tileset, we had it be manual instead?
Specifically, while sitting in the pre-game area, there would be an ability to pick and load a tileset like QT, though more prominently display than current within the 'Client Options' button.
There would be a 'Pick Tileset' button like in QT, along with a bare 'Load Tileset' option that loads current default. It would not load a tileset at all until you either Pick one, Load the default, or you join the game.

Note that if you are not happy with your (old) tileset preferences, you can already change them from the main menu of the client, before even connecting the server. Not ideal for the case where you don't want to change your preferences but load another tileset just once, but it's still something.
