Multiplayer challenges

Post by Erik2 »

I recently updated my scenarios adding the version number.
I notice there are a few old challenges on the board.
I reccomend players remove them, downloaded the latest scenario version and put up new challenges.
That way both players can ensure they're playing the same Version. I think the system only checks the scenario name.

You should really add version numbers to your scenario folder names to avoid confusion. At least until we can let the game handle version/compatibility checks on custom scenarios.

Something like "1v1 Guam (v1.01)"

I already changed the scenario names, but that is probably not enough.
Problem with changing file/folder name is that for every new version the game creates a new scenario folder.

That's the point isn't it? :) It'll be up to the users to delete outdated versions.

Yes, but you know I have a habit of tinkering with scenarios way too often. 8)
But on the other side, renaming files means automatic backups...

Well you only need to change the version when you upload an update, right? You shouldn't do that too often anyway, or people will never be able to stay up to date.
