How to transfer maps to the new version ?

ShadowAssassin · Post by **ShadowAssassin** » Sat Jun 18, 2016 11:58 am

I parsed a map on the previous release (20151224) but can't get to parse it with the new one (20160508).

Any idea how this is done ?

To update your maps I suggest you use the utility.exe (see https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Utility ).
You probably want "OpenRA.Utility.exe <mod/id> --upgrade-map <path/to/map> 20151224".

Thanks abcdefg30 !

It was not working with the weather effects, so I opened the .oramap compressed file, removed all the scripting files (.lua and .aud) (and the rules in the map.yaml file).

Then I runned utility.exe (btw I think you meant --upgrade-map <path/to/map> 20160508 instead of 20151224

) and I got my map back ! Perfect

However I tried to reinject the weather scripting ... but doesn't seem to work.
I put back the .aud, .lua files into a folder, changed the map.yaml (rules), then zipped it all and renamed the extension into .oramap.

Is this the good way ?

Something with the WeatherOverlay changed, so not sure if it was good to cut the rules out.

The changes are that you need "ParticleSize: 1, 1" if you defined "UseSquares: false".

(PS: 20151224 instead of 20160508 is correct. The utility wants the last engine version the map worked with. Yeah, kinda stupid setup. ^^)
