[Feature] Save settings presets about byar-chobby

[FIr3baL]

Which settings are meant ?
Is this about mod options ?

Yes, for example when you configure the chicken settings or when you set how much resources player get at the start of the party and so on :)

Any kind of game. If the settings could be saved [which aren't default] to a *.xxx file locally, then [as boss] when selected in the lobby, it posts them all, one by one. Would be tripped up, if lobby not set to a preset (as for example if undeformable map had been enabled in the lobby, but it's not defined in the saved config, but water level is, it wouldn't disable undeformable map, which would stop water level change working), but it's better than at present.
It could become even more pressing as tweakdef mods grow, requiring multiple entries.

But, if it's already gonna be a part of chobby's successor, then, I'm sure we can soldier on.

Ok, good to know that new lobby takes this request already.
I don't know how they save it, but here is my suggestion:

Having 2 levels of presets inside chobby config:

1. classPresets for each group of presets
2. globalPresets, where each is a set of classPresets

{
	"classPresets": {
		"modPresets": {
			"nameOfMy1stPreset": {
				"optionX": "valueforX",
				"optionY": "valueforY"
			},
			"nameOfMy2ndPreset": "..."
		},
		"mapPresets": {
			"mapName1": {
				"my1stPresetForMapName1": {
					"mapOptionX": "valueforX",
					"mapOptionY": "valuefoxY"
				},
				"my2ndPresetForMapName1": "..."
			},
			"mapName2": "..."
		},
		"AiPresets": {
			"BarbarianAI": {
				"MyOpBarbPreset": {
					"AiOption1": "ValueForOption1",
					"AiOption2": "..."
				},
				"TweakedBarbPreset": "..."
			}
		},
		"AutohostPresets": "..."
	},
	"globalPresets" :{
		"myDefaultConfig" : {
			"modPreset" : "nameOfMy1stPreset",
			"AIPresets" : {
				"BarbarianAI" : "MyOpBarbPreset"
			}
		}
	}
}

I imagine:

1. a dropdown menu inside Battle Window for choosing the global preset
2. a dropdown menu on each class of options like in modOptions window, autohost settings panel,...

Maybe that concept helps as a first step for anybody willing to code this :)
