I tried out the new Royal map editor, all seems to be Ok, but when I want to
"Test the map with mode", Royal doesnt appear among the possible modes... what should I do to
to test the map like in the previous editor?...

then another question: in the Royal map editor, some random colors appear in by example those lights,
this would be nice to applyin a map, but when you test the map, all colors dissapear. Can you change those colors,
or is this just not possible in Royal?

If you want to test your own Royal map, simply host a game on LAN (Royal Main Menu > Local Play > Create > Launch > My Maps > Choose your map > Play). Of course, you'll have to save the map and it needs to be validated (flag on bottom right corner has to be green, if it's not then click it to check what's wrong) and then load it when hosting LAN game.

About random colors, you probably mean color lights on poles and similar if I'm not wrong. It's not possible to change those colors.

so it isnt any more possible to 'test the map with mode' in the editor itself?
in the previous editor, when you clicked on that button, you could just select 'Royal arena' and play the map like real.
Now 'Royal arena' isnt any more amongst the possibilities. A pitty...

Thx for the quick answer!

Apparently the editor ignores custom scripts located in the user data folders when using title packs like Royal or Elite,
but if you place the scripts (both MapMode and MapType) from here https://github.com/maniaplanet/game-mod ... ShootMania and use the plain Storm title, you can test the map in the editor (just tried it).

Are these used in official MP3 release? They should be included in-game so we could use those scripts as template when making a new gamemode.
