Locking Player Colours and Teams

[Cheekything]

I'm trying to figure out how to lock teams and colours so that players can only choose between the two.

Currently it seems people can change their colours in the game lobby and also add extra teams, which is not desired.

As regards player colours, Map -> Player Properties (from the main window) appears to give you the ability to define a specific, unchangeable colour for each player.

I'm not sure about teams though :S

Exactly like you say, Flare. "Appears". Sadly, even this doesn't lock the colours, nor teams yet. Seems like Map --> Player isn't the place where we can actually look everything.
I mean, I assigned red to 1, blue to 2, etc. all the way down, but in-game (published private) I can still be anything I want.

Issue is that it associates triggers with the players who are set as the colours.

i.e. red is 1 and Dark green is 12

Yet it will not this as it used (by colour order) to but by entry into the game.

Which means i have to trigger the alliances instead it looks like. :thdown:

Have you tried using the Map -> Game Variants menu?

You sir are win

You sir are win

Word of warning though, some settings in that menu are currently bugged and won't allow you to publish your map. Just something to keep in mind.

Can't publish atm as the EU servers are down/hamsters died or something but I'll figure out which ones break the upload
