[fixed] cannot switch tileset with headless server (svn 2682)

[titi]

If you connect to a headless server and you are the first you can control the settings. But if the server( or client too) has some special mods installed you often cannot switch some settings anymore.
For examples we were not able to toggle through all tilesets.

This also happens for maps. On r2688, when I connect to a headless server, I can not choose between more than two maps. The server has all default maps installed (none from mode menu) and the client has all default maps, those from mod menu, and some additional maps installed.
I think map switching actually used to work but may have gone broken when the other issue where you could select maps which are not available on the server (but only on the client) was fixed.

Try svn rev 2690 (added a 2 second delay when sending out changes to server). Server will revert to what it had before the new settings if any data item is invalid, but the 2 second delay should give time to toggle past data items the server does not have.

Thanks. This works for me now.

I feel there is room for improvement here, though. It would be way better if server and admin client would synch what they have available in advance, and only make available/selectable what's available on both server and admin client.

For the future, admin clients should also be able to download missing data from the server, and possibly upload to the server, too (this would need to be an ini option for security).
