Feature Idea: In-game Link to Quadropolis

I'm not sure how much work this would take to implement, but I think it would be a really useful feature.

In the in-game menu there could be a section called "DLC" or something like that. When you open it, it would automatically download a list of available maps from quadropolis and display them in whatever order seems best (probably in order of highest rated or most downloaded). When you select a map it would download and install it, perhaps to a packages/base/dlc folder. A new tab on the map list could be created specifically for downloaded maps. This would give you the ability to try out all the best community user submitted maps that aren't included with the game, without having to exit, download, unzip, and restart sauer. Besides, I'd venture to say that the majority of sauer players don't know what quadropolis is.

I feel like this would promote the use of quadropolis and also promote more quality user-created content, since people could see their work in the in-game menu for everyone to download (assuming it's good).

I'm not sure how many changed would have to be made, both to sauer and to quadropolis, so I have no idea if this is reasonable. But I think it's definitely worth looking into, or at least discussing.

What the HECKS, guys! Flamewar much!

Seriously, you all need to chill. Razgriz, quit feeding the trolls.

I was considering actually implementing something like this, but if you guys are all having an attitude like this, it really turns a guy off.

In any case, thread closed. Perhaps we can return to this topic when someone's got something concrete to contribute.
