New features and bugfixes for lobby

The currently used legacy lobby has received several updates and changes. Thanks to jere500, rlcevg, ryanbennitt, robertthepie, and ZackLK for contributions. This is a summary of recent improvements to Chobby:

  • jere500 has added an option in the Host Game dialog to create a room that only friends can join, but they can do so without needing to input a password.
  • jere500 has also created an comprehensive new system for Saving and Loading game configurations and modoptions. It supports current map, startboxes, modoptions, and AI team placement and configurations. You can access this dialog by clicking on the Option Presets button in the battle room.
  • rlcevg has added Custom AI profiles for the BARbarian AI. There is an included profile called hard_aggressive that is an example of how to create and add custom profiles for BARb without editing engine.
  • ZackLK has fixed the personal records in the Scenario window to show correct best time / resources on all difficulties rather than just normal.
  • robertthepie has improved the modoptions panel with clearer indication showing what options have been changed from default values.
  • ryanbennitt has added the ability to choose whether your password for the game is remembered by the local system or not. The remember password checkbox is located in the Login menu.
  • I (Moose) changed the battle title label in multiplayer lobbies into a clickable button that opens a dialog where you can rename the current battle, or call a vote for your name of choice if not boss. I also centred the label of the current map name, and made some minor changes to the info text on the bottom of the screen to improve clarity and make alignment look better.
