Create a Custom Game from a WB Scenario

@king_dean: sorry, can't work out what you mean from those descriptions. Do you have a screen mock-up / grab marked up with what you want to achieve.

Hi Whoward. Currently, on the menu screen it has random map as the default pre-selected button and the player needs to actually click below on 'scenario' to play the scenario. I'd like to flip that around where the scenario is pre-selected and if they want to play a random map to have to click on that.

And a separate issue, I want to guarantee 'random seed' is enabled for both the scenario and the random map because currently it seems that it is not. I can kind of tell because when it's selecting random greeting text it's picking the same order each game.

In UI/ScenarioLoadScreen.lua, as the very last line of the file, add

MapSelected(Controls.FixedMapSelectionAnim, g_FixedMapPath)

Untested, but it should be

PreGame.SetGameOption(GameInfoTypes.GAMEOPTION_NEW_RANDOM_SEED, true)

which again can be added at the very end of the file

This post nor the download link doesn't explain how to install it. After a bit of searching I found out how on the page you get if you click "Mods by Category". Super helpful for beginners if you added the install instruction here or on the download page.
