      Re: map availability

      The design of 2.6 was to do away with triplea_maps.yaml completely. Bringing that back in was an expedient way to resolve various problems and get 2.6 launched. So, we see a conflict here with that design change where the problem would have been solved. Though, this is an issue with the 2.5 bots as well, the download maps script is the same for the two different bot versions.

      How about showing only the games which are both in the bot's list and the the user's list. Meaning that, if I have only "270BC Wars" in my "Select Game" list, I will also have only that option when clicking on "Select Game" in a bot.

      If that is not feasible, how about giving the exact same list which you get when you click "Select Game" on local also when you click the same button in a bot, and returning a message about the game being not available in the bot if selecting a game which you have on local but the bot does not have (which will never happen for normal users since the bots fully cover at least everything which is on download list)?

        What's the point of that in the moment those saves are listed clicking on "Open Saved Game", are they?

        They are not the same game file. Note the difference, the "Open Saved Game" are your saved games on your computer; while the "select game" listing are those on the bot itself.

          You mean that the various "Change To default", "Change To odd_round" and so on that you have upon clicking on "Open Saved Game" on a bot are loading game-saves which you have rather than game-saves taken and retained by the bot?

          I assumed that "Change To Gamesave (Load Game)" was the only one going for the game-saves on your computer.


          Anyway, I was not able to test because I joined "Bot301_Paris" and played the first turn of Classic and then quit, and the host just disappeared and is missing since then.

            That is a useful test in of itself. There was an error reconnecting to lobby. Looks like it was probably a 2.5 issue as well. I've got a stack trace and will look to make that more robust so the bot does not give up if it fails on the first try.

              It is confusing. Those do load autosaves from bots. I'm hoping to have that UX a bit more cleaned up than it is now.

                @lafayette Anyway, games and saves should not be on the same list. Having the saves all after the games looks to me like an insufficient way to set them apart.

                  so I can't get a bot to make it say "waiting for players" after a game is selected.

                  I have to pick all the players and make it launch

                    not sure when it started. i scanned the changes listed inbetween 14808 and 14759 (the prev build i used w/o the bug) and couldn't see anything about the battle calculator...

                      14808 14806 was the culprit, recent changes to unify the unit sort ordering.
