Feature request: additional keyword fields in the Dark Mod mission details for mission type and monsters

Someone requested two other GUI features, as I understand it these are:

1. Sortable table columns (by clicking on the column titles?), maybe for both the mission download screen and mission manager.
2. Real-time text filter for mission titles (could also be used for both the mission download screen and mission manager)

 

Is the number of downloads of each mission tracked online? If so, maybe it would also be interesting to see the number of times each mission has been downloaded in the mission download screen. For mission authors to see their download number going up after release, and for new player looking for popular missions by sorting on number of downloads. Similar to how on youtube you can see and sort videos on number of views.

No, we don't have that data.  Missions can be spread across multiple mirrors.

I also think this would not be possible / too complicated to implement. The release date though would be a really helpful addition to the ingame downloader

Another thing that is wrong right now with the mission loader and might be fixed while people look into new options: After you have downloaded a mission, it will not be correctly erased from the new missions list on the left until you restart the game. In fact the name stays over the "no new missions" background which looks doubly bad ;)!
