Do maps from the workshop write to their mod/mission folder?
This issue is about the warning under Download from Workshop on the readme.
When writing the logic to implement custom map support, I found that more than a few maps are distributed from the Workshop. While most (mods) seem to write to /profiles
, it occurred to me that might not be standard, as it seems there isn't a standard file structure for mod folders. So I implemented the COPY_MISSION
logic so that if the map writes persistent data to its mission folder, it doesn't get overwritten when the map is updated.
As I don't have experience in creating maps and didn't find any relevant information from preliminary searches, I decided to implement COPY_MISSION
and add the warning out of an abundance of caution. However, if it's a safe bet that persistent data is never written to the mod/mission folder, then the warning and the COPY_MISSION
logic can be removed.
