Downloaded Maps
-
The prerelease no longer has a tab when downloading maps to show what mods you have already downloaded. I found that useful, does anyone know why it was removed?
-
Are you referring to the 'installed' tab on the downloaded maps screen?
-
Yes. I found it useful.
-
It's not removed, just not working properly right now. Fixing this has been in queue, I added a reminder task for myself to make sure this is working: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/projects/17#card-55377171

@LaFayette I am having so many problems with the Prerelease that I am going back to the last stable version. Right now, I can't play Prerelease at all. Unable to choose scenario issue.
The deprecation of mapName is causing lots of problems. I am particularly annoyed that an earlier version deleted all the files it did not like from my computer (I had backups). I was also having a problem with xml in the map.yml file not being on the scenario list.

Prerelease is for QA and makes very few guarantees. Those using one should know what they're doing and expect to report any problems they find.

That was not intended, and technically it overwrote many files. That was due to having non-standard map formats which were not accounted for. The number of permutations of how maps can be packaged, loaded, is pretty impressive and 1000% a PITA.

FWIW, the places that would need a fix are largely in code that will be deleted pretty imminently. That is why the fixes are in queue.
