[Maps] North African Savanna - wood decorations fool player

Reported by: Langbart Owned by:
Priority: Should Have Milestone: Alpha 27
Component: Maps Keywords:
Cc: Patch:

Description (last modified by Langbart)

to reproduce

  • [27216] added a new demo map called North African Savanna (2 players)
  • wood decorations fool you into thinking that it is collectible wood

possible solutions

  • (A) red marked bushes and trees, should be gather-able wood
  • (B) remove demo skirmish maps

Workaround

  • disable actors from being rendered via the user.cfg, added with [14447]
    renderactors = "false" 
    

nitpick(s)

  • the map should be called North African Savanna **Demo** (2)
    • see Zagros Mountains (2 players) and Deccan Plateau (2 players) for similar issue
    • occurred several times in the commit history (it's no fun to write down the same problem over and over again)

North African Savanna Demo (2)

I suppose, but the map already has the demo tag. If you list "All" maps, then you will run into Demo maps, which, as the 'Demo' tag insinuates, are not meant to be completed playable maps, else they'd cease being a mere Demo.

I'd honestly consider just adding a new "Hidden" tag for maps, since some maps are clearly only exist for development purposes and not meant for the end-user. This map being one of them.

occurred several times in the commit history (it's no fun to write down the same problem over and over again)

I'm looking for additional map makers to step forward, preferably ones who don't accidentally place actors instead of entities like I do. :(
