My questions seem quite simple, how can we activate the Add-ons? Are they useful for already created maps or scenarios?

The "Installed" tab lists your installed add-ons, and offers a checkbox for each one to turn them on or off. Add-ons of the "World" category are chosen before starting the editor, and then remain integrated into a map. Your choice of World add-ons is therefore ignored when starting a game, and the map's World add-ons are used instead. All other add-ons (tribes, scripts, win conditions, starting conditions) are used when starting a new game. Loading a savegame always uses the add-on settings the game was originally started with.

What is wrong? Me or the program?

Could be improved by limiting this to world add-ons. Top Quote

And when I saw the warning about one add-on which cause problem with Replay, that I don't need, I thought all was good.

Actually ALL the random maps, in play AND editor can't use add-ons because of "world". You are trying to solve this problem but it is not trivial and it's going to take a while. Anyway you will put clear messages when creating the maps so that we are not disappointed. The 'old' maps, between Beta and solution of the problem, will not have add-ons, they will have to be redone if we want to include them. Am I right? If I'm right it is good for me. Anyway, we will only be able to distribute the 'new' maps with add-ons after the official V1 has been released, so we have a little time to redo them if necessary.

Actually ALL the random maps, in play AND editor can't use add-ons because of "world". You are trying to solve this problem but it is not trivial and it's going to take a while. Almost. I did not explain very clearly. The random map generator can not handle World add-ons. Therefore, maps and matches generated with the random generator do not use any World add-ons. For Tribes and Script add-ons, the restriction that these are disabled as well applies only to the feature that lets you directly start a random match. When you create a random map in the editor, save it, and then start a new game in it via Singleplayer → New, then you can use Tribes and Script add-ons just like for every other new map. Add-ons of other types always work. Anyway you will put clear messages when creating the maps so that we are not disappointed. Yes The 'old' maps, between Beta and solution of the problem, will not have add-ons, they will have to be redone if we want to include them. Am I right? They don't have any World add-ons. And no official map will ever use a World add-on because the whole point is that add-ons are inofficial, fan-made content. You can of course enable any other add-on type with any map whenever you start a new game. Edited: 2021-04-28, 15:33 UTC+2.0 Top Quote
