The sad state of the map editor.

Come on, can some one explain me what the actual fuck is going on?
1.- Silverlight server's are down every other day (like right now)
2.- Admins officially removed the option to create new maps&scenarios in the editor.
3.- Html5 doesn't allow new scenarios to be made, so you are limited to making maps which frankly is the least wanted reason for the map editor, people just make custom maps so they can make a custom scenario out of it.
4.- Updating any custom map in silverlight will break it in html5, no exceptions.
5.- nearly all of my silverlight maps are bugged and have error's loading data/paths and other stuff, i can't even edit them anymore cuz they are that bugged.
Clovis should either release the scenario editor as buggy as it or they should give us back the option to make new maps in silverlight, there is no reason to discontinue such feature when html5 doesn't have a scenario editor.

Well thanks for the message guys. It appears that the "error loading path" issue is happening when you clone a map using Silverlight. I suggest everybody to clone them using the HTML editor instead. Let me know if someone's still having troubles with his map  .

Yo, we were making some last tests before releasing the scenario editor to live. Initially we though that cloning maps was not working due to Silverlight -> HTML synchronization (so it stopped being a 'top priority' for us, since SL is close to death), but later on we realized that the cloning feature was not working at all. We know per community's feedback that cloning works when you do it from Silverlight, but then you'll have to wait for us to reload the map's data. Take a look at the following flows:
We're still investigating, but we'll let you guys know once this issue is sorted out. Hopefully we can release the Scenario Editor after it.

Just remove the current buggy editor and add the Silverlight one again atleast the sl one worked

I have trouble when hosting the game Avatar 100 year war. When im editing in SL, theres no problem but once i host it in html it appears http://prntscr.com/kd73u2 "error loading paths, i try cloning the map and same issue, i can only edit once, and i cant edit in html5 because HTML says it is SL and SL says its HTML, hilarious isnt... Hope you can get things done, but i still appreciate you are working on it.

The copy is an html5 copy now. It wont open instantly after copying. You have to wait for clovis to synchronize the maps and scenarios. Give it a few days and the html5 copy should work. Also you can avoid this bug by refraining from deleting borders for now..

Yeah the cloning feature is the only thing that we're missing by now (as far as i know). We'll let you guys know once it is ready. I'm having a meeting with Ivan & Amok tomorrow to speak about what's left to finish, I'm going to see if it is possible to release the scenario editor regardless of the cloning issue.

Hey guys, good news! The cloning feature is not entirely broken - you can clone the background or the country borders in the live server. What's broken is cloning the countries's data and the units. I've got both issues almost solved, so I'm really hoping for getting everything rollin' soon.

Appreciate all your efforts clovis1122. But if i could just add this. and i dont want to put you under anymore pressure, but. Me spending time making maps contributed to my last girlfriend and i separating. Now, This latest bitch i am with i am having trouble getting rid of. My favourite women are the ones who leave when you tell them to. I also like donuts. [if my girlfriend owned a donut shop tho, that would be a dilemma]

I'm curious if this annoy you guys: creating a city (default income 0) so that when you try to save it gives you an error: "income must be between 0 and 100". I've asked in lobby and it indeed seems to annoy some people (me included!). I'm going to set 1 as the default income for cities.

When I click on "Old version" on the homepage (after logging in, of course), I get the following message: https://prntscr.com/ksyn6u I click on "reconnect" and after a moment, it goes back to the same error screen. I cannot get into Silverlight at all. I'm using Safari because I'm on a Mac, and neither Firefox nor Chrome support Silverlight. I'm trying to get to my Silverlight maps so that I can edit one of them. I've already rebooted, and I've already dumped the cache/history/cookies/etc. Anyone else having this problem? It's been like this for a few weeks now!

Is it true you can't delete a border in the HTML editor or else you will lose your map? Will any development be done on the editor?

you can delete points in a border, but if you try to delete the entire border it won't work.

Haven't got a response from the other admins for 10 days, but we're definitely looking forward to get the Scenario Editor released. Once that release happens to the test server, I'll appreciate everybody's support to help me nail a very deadly bug that we need to correct before any major thing happens.

Need some help testing guys, I asked in Discord before and a couple of players already tested with no result. If you're a map maker and have some time, I would greatly appreciate support in this!

When you clone a silverlight map, you need to wait for server to reload before you can edit in html5. Also I figured out you should avoid doing borders and deleting borders in firefox to avoid error loading path problems. Google chrome should be used for borders.
