pls improve map validation tool (upload vs server pathing)
First of all, I love our new validation tool: https://api.faforever.com/maps/validate But I found some Issues that should be improved...
Validate Map Name
The map name validation for Adaptive Map says adaptive_map.v0001 for the folder.
-
That folder name and path is created while map upload and in
FAF Editor -
server created version=/maps/adaptive_map.v0001/adaptive_map.scmap
Validate scenario.lua
But in the validation of the obviously wrong path in the scenario content, it gives you a folder path without .v0001 /maps/adaptive_map/adaptive_map.scmap
-
As far as I know, that path is created in
GPG Editorand needed to be applied for map upload (without .v0001 in folder and file path)? Please correct me if I'm wrong. -
upload version=/maps/adaptive_map/adaptive_map.scmap
Conclusion
FAF Editor version = server created version = /maps/adaptive_map.v0001/adaptive_map.scmap
GPG Editor version = upload version = /maps/adaptive_map/adaptive_map.scmap
That's why I think, the tool is confusing how it is now and leads to maps not being able to load. It would be nice to clarify if an upload version or an server created version should be validated.
It would be nice to give both options to a map maker. And validate consistently over name and scenario validation, like in picture 2#. A checkbox could be a solution to enable the map maker to get the right information. Because I really like to prevent issues like this while uploading:
Bad example
1# difference in validated name and scenario folder naming
Good example
2# example for constant folder naming with .v0001 like in the server created version
One additional question
Isn't it possible to also allow an upload with the version number in the folder?
That would be awesome. This way there is no difference between GPG Editor and FAF Editor maps and both can simply be uploaded. No broken files due to upload process ;)
