Draft until new client is released.


Todo:

  • better "no" icons
  • better SW icons

This PR does the following:

  • Shows the RA2/Yuri icon in game list based on what the host has selected.

Is such a large number of search criteria necessary?
The same applies to the crates broadcast to main lobby. I think the Red Alert/Yuri's Revenge and Superweapons are sufficient.

As for super weapons, how do you find this variant: SSW, TSW, and SW.
And if there is no super weapon, then there simply won't be anything. I think the complete absence of the icon is also a clear and understandable message in this case.
Or maybe like this:

It seems to me that the icons representing the Yuri and France factions should simply consist of a flag without a coat of arms. It looks like there are several parameters but this is only one

I think some could be removed, but we need to keep game speed, crates, SW, RA2 mode, Rebalance, Yuri/France.

My reasoning is I will never join a game that's <60FPS so I'll always have the game speed filter set.
Noobs may want games without Yuri/France, SW, and with crates.
RA2 mode and rebalance as that's what people on Discord seem to want.

I included the others from feedback on a YR client dev Discord, but there really wasn't a lot of response so happy to remove a few.

But also - does it hurt to include them?

I like the SSW TSW and SW idea although would suggest the extra letter comes after (SW-S, SW-T). The icon can't come directly after the text like in your screenshot.

I'm 50/50 on this. We show the flag+coat everywhere else in the client and consistency is good. But also having a smaller icon would be preferable. I'll have a play around with it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers mate. Good to see you're still kicking.
