Random Faction/Tileset/Map
« on: 22 October 2010, 20:39:35 »
Once upon a time, GAE was the first to have a "Random" option for factions, but that seems to have been removed... I think that it should be reimplimented, along with a Random option for Tilesets and Maps (not a randomly created map, randomly picking a map from installed maps). HOWEVER, if there's only 1 item in that options menu, the random option should not be displayed. For example, the Military tech tree has only the Military faction, and thus, it should only display Military in the faction choices (as displaying "random" is pointless, since there's only one choice).

That was another one of my famous oversights, I believe the code is all still there, I just didn't add the options in when I redid the Gui.

Will rig them back up for 0.3.2
