Storing settings and single player mission restart

OpenRA's skirmish and multiplayer could still use minor improvements. Instead of each time when playing a skirmish match or hosting a multiplayer match, manually selecting, setting every slot, faction, team, position, color, etc. , I doubt it would be require too much work to simple allow openRA to remember most recent settings, and if you want to go further, allow stored settings to be used between maps.

And in single player missions, one more option, restart the mission while mission is active instead player being forced to back to the main menu, single player, missions and choosing the mission all over again.

Thank you developers of OpenRA!

Hi

This idea has already been suggested :

https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4122
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/10276

Let's hope it will be implemented

There is an open pull request for a restart button in missions, and it should hopefully make it in to the next release. Persisting settings is a lot more work than you may think, and as far as I am aware it is not on anybodies radar to fix that in the short term.

Ah, I stand corrected, only now I realize storing settings-request has been looming in the background for years while people are actually posting OpenRA Tiberian Sun-gameplays in Youtube - it just sounds almost unbelievable that something so seemingly small is so hard to implement. I guess all in due time.

At least Restart-button is coming, that is very good.
