Vault integrated map version numbers?

[Lionhardt]

Can somebody explain to me what is up with those little version numbers that are not part of the map name but of the map entry itself? Is it now possible to upload a map with the exact same name as before and the old version gets replaced and the entry gets a new version number like version i for the i-th upload of a map with that exact internal name (folder, .scmp, and .lua files)? Or does it work in completely different way?

If you release a new version, e.g. to v2, set

Code: Select all

map_version = 2

of the <mapname>scenario.lua and
add change the folder name to <mapname>.v0002.

Then you can upload it under the same name ...
You see both versions in the vault under the same name

thx!

The question is: can you also reasonably see the v2 in the map vault? Is this then also included in the name? If you can't properly see that, then the map_version code is not very useful.

And that is why I add version number to map name itself, then you see it in your map list, it's also in descripion f your server in lobby, the map_version is only useful in vault (and still is less visible than just "v2" in name).

When I do this the map doesnt work anymore. Editor is stuck loading and ingame it is not displayed in map list?

I have renamed the containing folder, and adjusted the scenario.lua accordingly, look:

Code: Select all

version = 3
ScenarioInfo = {
    name = 'Regor VI Highlands',
    description = "<LOC regor_vi_highlands_Description>",
    type = 'skirmish',
    starts = true,
    preview = '',
    size = {512, 512},
    map = '/maps/regor_vi_highlands.v0001/regor_vi_highlands.scmap',
   map_version=1,
   name="Regor VI Highlands"
    save = '/maps/regor_vi_highlands.v0001/regor_vi_highlands_save.lua',
    script = '/maps/regor_vi_highlands.v0001/regor_vi_highlands_script.lua',
    norushradius = 77.000000,
    norushoffsetX_ARMY_1 = 1.000000,
    norushoffsetY_ARMY_1 = 2.000000,
    norushoffsetX_ARMY_2 = -2.000000,
    norushoffsetY_ARMY_2 = -1.000000,
    norushoffsetX_ARMY_3 = -13.000000,
    norushoffsetY_ARMY_3 = 0.000000,
    norushoffsetX_ARMY_4 = 13.000000,
    norushoffsetY_ARMY_4 = 0.000000,
    Configurations = {
        ['standard'] = {
            teams = {
                { name = 'FFA', armies = {'ARMY_1','ARMY_2','ARMY_3','ARMY_4',} },
            },
            customprops = {
                ['ExtraArmies'] = STRING( 'ARMY_9 NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN' ),
            },
        },
    }}

Oh, thx!

By the way, if every map maker was using the version correctly, we could only display the latest version in the vault easily.

People did not use the map_version, because you did not see the version in the lobby and find game tab and it is well hidden in the vault ...
My suggestions: people can't upload a map without a map_version key in the lua file!

AND

authors are able to remove a map xD

PS.: Can you publish the server map vault code (php code)?
Or only the db structure with dump data?
Is the next big thing on my todo list, after the friendlist.
