Feature request: filter options in New/Open games

[ikbengeendiplomaat]

Add a filter option so one can easily find their favorite map and/or mode. Eg gunboats -> list all gunboats.

Maybe with a save button so your presets gets saved.

Thanks

You can already do this via the search options:

The "Variant" field lets you pick which map you want to search for.

To filter for gunboat / non-gunboat, use the "messaging types" tick boxes.

Thanks I did not know that. It would be nice to have it on the open and new page too.

If you only want to see new games, select "Pre-Game" in the first search field.

There is also a filter for "joinable games".

Point is - what you're asking for is already provided

[ikbengeendiplomaat]

But why then have tabs to show new and open games if you can already select it in the search page? If I want to look for a new game my first thought is to click on 'new games' to look for a suitable game than to go to 'search game' which include every game (and I didn't even notice this tab)

To expand.

Start from the home page. Where will you click if you want to join a new game? I always clicked 'games', 'new' which directed me immediately to all new games. So 2 clickw and a descriptive menu item name.

The other method is clicking on 'search' 'games', also 2 clicks but then you need to enter the new games filter and click on filter, so extra clicks.

[Jamiet99uk]

Yes but you were asking for functionality to be able to narrow down a search for new / open games by map or press type.

That functionality already exists as I have pointed out.

[Jamiet99uk]

You would need "extra clicks" anyway even if the filters, that you are asking for, existed, because you'd need to click to turn those filters on or off.

[ikbengeendiplomaat]

In a functionality point of view it does not make sense to omit the filter from the new games and open games page. (in my opinion)

I also made the feature request before I knew of the search page, admins can close this thread if they see fit.

We do have the search feature but I think it's a valid point that joinable games aren't as prominent / easy to get through as I'd like. I'd also say the active games should be more prominent

I agree. This a helpful addition to enhance the user experience.
