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.

I'm genuinely sorry for delivering a map editor with such an issue. You guys may understand though, this is better than nothing... We can't clone tho, cuz we are not allowed to make new maps. Can't clone old maps? It works fine with the new ones... Loading... Loading...

Only old maps get bugged, but we can't make clones cuz we are not supposed to make new maps or scenarios in silverlight. Loading... Loading...

clovis1122 Epic Clan Posts: 9043 From: Dominican Republic	+1 04.06.2018 - 07:32 clovis1122 I wasn't aware of the situation with the SL map editor. At this point I believe it will be better for us to push forward the scenario editor and drop Silverlight forever. I've been receiving lots of messages with the error loading path and maps that were lost forever. Right now, our worst possible case is to allow the people to edit their map but without borders. We're still investigating for a better approach. We haven't found a fix to the issue yet. But like I said, this is our top priority. I suggest everybody to clone their new maps periodically as some sort of backup. Loading... Loading...

FallenEmpires The Cabal Posts: 12 From: USA	11.06.2018 - 15:22 FallenEmpires Is there any way to update old maps or even create new maps right now? I keep reading that there is probably not. I know I read that there is work being done but there are no updates. All the problem threads I have been reading go back months. I have tried to install locally and the game wont run. I have tried the new map editor and it won't load. Clones of old maps won't save. I have read most of these in other threads as well. Again my question is, is there any way to update old maps or make new maps successfully? If not, is there any hope it will be resolved anytime soon? I love the game but it really needs a working map editor if it wants to survive and keep players around. Loading... Loading...

Are you also aware of the issue when deleting some corners of a border can lead to the 'ghost borders' where they don't show up unless specifically highlighted and don't work as a country, or as ground land in game?
