<![CDATA[New Maps Admin capabilities - add Map Attributes & approve/disable maps]]>Available at: https://prod.triplea-game.org/support/ & login.

Admins can login via the login link on the support page. Authentication is done via Github, those who are on the MapsAdmin team of the "triplea-maps" org have admin access. After logging in as admin, read/write controls become available.

Map Attributes

Map admins can now assign/remove map attributes for maps

Map attributes are reflected in the "download maps" window. Currently the only effective attribute is the "map name". Any new attributes will appear as a new column in the download maps windows.

For admins, there is an attributes page where the attributes themselves can be managed.

Admin approval of maps

There's a column on the status page for admin approval of maps. Admins can toggle approved or not of any map. Maps start out pending approval.

I notice that you have uploaded one of my older maps
https://github.com/triplea-maps/settlers_fallen_empire-08

I too have uploaded the later version to
https://github.com/triplea-maps/settlers_fallen_empire
and will now maintain it.

Please could you delete your version as the two maps share the same xml file name and other files and produce minor conflicts.

I will take care of it when I return from vacation.

Likely would need additional client side support. I'm not entirely sure we would want to bring back support in the same form for them. Which is to say with future efforts there might be a better solution.

Thanks for this ability.

I have just enabled 1888A as a test. It took 30-45min to show as a download inside TripleA, 😁

I notice that map skins have all been disabled, well they dont have the 3 files required to be a proper map.

  • map/
  • map.yml
  • preview.png
  • description.html

So what do we do to allow these to be downloaded/integrated?
We could move the skin to their associated map?

.
This is the update maps page job:
