Missing Maps

Postby KGB » Wed May 25, 2011 1:40 pm

SnotlinG,

Not sure if this a bug or not but after reading your blog post today about making more official maps I went to check them out.

1) It seems that we are missing at least one map. The Land-Sea war map you made. It's no longer in the list of official maps nor does it appear when I tried to start a game. This is one of the better maps for fast paced balanced games for 2 and 4 players so it's a shame to lose it.

2) There is at least one duplicate map in the list. The Inland Sea war map. It's there and then the update is there as Inner Sea War. We only need the latest one and the other can be dropped.

3) When I go to start a game and select a map the drop down list, drops up. As a result it gets cut off at the top of Firefox so that I can't see all the maps. I think LPhillips mentioned this before. Not sure why this behavior happens but maybe the interface can change to use an actual pop-up with a scroll bar instead of the current interface which suffers this problem.

1, I dont think thats my map. Was that an official map previously, but is missing now? Do you remember the maps full name?

2. Removed it. This is why we are adding versioning and updated system for maps in the next beta :-)

3. Interface questions I´ll let Piranha answer :-)

KGB: I know about the dropdown problem. It is fixed in beta4 by changing the map selection page. In Beta3 If you scroll the page down so the map selection box is far up on the screen the dropdown should go down instead of up and you should be able to select all maps.

SnotlinG,

It's called High Seas Combat. Game 2512 is using it.

This map was there on day 1 of Beta3 which means either you or Piranha must have created it since no one else but me had early editor access AFAIK.

P.S. There is also a Woodlandia and Woodlandia2. Another duplicate map that can be removed and replaced with the missing High Seas Combat map.

P.P.S. I just tried to create a new game using Piranha suggestion of scrolling down my browser. That worked. More importantly, I see that High Seas Combat map *is* in that list. In fact the list of all maps is 26. Where the bug actually is, is on the View Maps screen which is limited to 24 maps. So 2 maps aren't displayed and High Seas Combat happens to be one of them.

Glad to see this problem coming to light and being discussed further. Also glad to hear you have already addressed the drop-down issues, Pirhanna.

I'm not playing at the moment, but still following development eagerly. This project has a lot of potential, and it thrills me to see one of my favorite games getting new life :D
