true, there should be some security measure. but what happens atm when you try to upload a map with the same internal name as an already existent one? without making use of the version feature, i mean...

ZeP said that there would be a script that automatically hides the older map version from view. So if you were to upload a map with the same name and map_version=2, the the one with map_version=1, will no longer be viewable or clickable. I don't know if (don't think that) this system is going to work with when re-uploading a map_version=2 man while the older version doesn't have map_version=1 in the lua file.

WARNING. Yhe script that checks on the same map name with map_version=n+1 should also check on whether the same person is uploading it (identical usernames?). Otherwise some idiot can replace your beautiful map with a disgusting tag in whic the sou has a mavor to reclaim and the north only a LAB.

only asked because i want to fix a broken image for the lobby, need to add a whole new map to resolve that?

its easily done but just looks messy in the vault. unless the old version is deleted?

Would it be possible to write a function that syncs the users map folder with the map vault by scanning for old versions of maps in the users map folder? Every time the function finds a sub-folder string X.vN that matches a string x.vN+1 it asks the user if he wants to update that map? Or if it is not pssoble, to scan people map folder, can FAF ask the client PCs to tell it otherwise which maps they got?

But maybe that is ia a little insecure, because there might two maps with the sme exact name in the vault? Is that possible?

I plan a notification system, but the other way around ...
Client automatilly checks the vault ...

That would be a horrible idea. People who had the "older" version will desync. Replays will be fucked.

Increase the version number and upload your new version instead.

And don't upload map before testing them.
The map vault is not made for testing maps.

When a map is in the vault, assume someone already played on it, so it must be there forever.

In my opinion it is to easy to upload a map ...
e.g. everybody can reupload a map!

@Zep: Ragging_Squirell gave me the permission to edit his source code ... It is possible to send it to me?

I've modified the vault code, now it's only displaying the latest version of a map.

Of course, you have to keep the same exact map name.

No need to mark older version as broken (first because I won't delete them for compatibility reasons), they won't show anymore.

Is the next big thing on my todo list, after the friendlist.

But we have a private repository if he allows it.

If you're going to enforce the map_version rule for uploading in the vault, you'll also need a proper tutorial on it. Otherwise we're going to have dozens of "I can't upload my map" topics here.

np,
it is also a security function for users that uploading other maps xd
