Type of change
New feature (for v1.3)

Counterpart to https://codeberg.org/wl/wl_addons_server/pulls/84

How it works
The add-ons server now provides info about website maps. The client displays maps usefully with some map-specific filtering options and allows one-click installing and uninstalling.

For testing, the server-side counterpart is currently served on Alpha:

--addons_server_port=7377

Not yet implemented are:

• Translations for website maps
• Commenting, voting, and download counter. You can view comments and votes like for add-ons (except for relationships between comment threads), but creating and editing them is not yet possible due to server-side database complications.

Possible regressions
All add-ons networking

It's a bit unclear where a downloaded map can be found:

1. Mapsets as addons are shown as they were in maps/ (didn't there was an additional entry Add-On maps in the file selection screen some time ago?)
2. Maps downloaded with this are installed in maps/Downloaded and shown in folder Downloaded Maps

At least there should be a hint after downloading. Something like "You can find this map in 'Downloaded Maps'".

On the long run there might be a need to do a rework of the file selection menu. E.g. don't sort sort by number of players by default, instead sort by date should be the default (optionally) so that just installed maps appear prior all others. Probably a fresh installed map is wanted to be played immediately without the need to search it in the maps list.
