Incompatibility message when trying to join lobby games (even when versions match)

wat

Some existing discussion about this problem

https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/57694-community-maps-2/#comment-463379

Some key points:

sarcoma states:

The zip in modio has hyphens while the mod has underscores. Change hyphens to underscores

andy5995 states:

modio must be changing something automatically.

I did testing with Pali last year and iirc, we had things working at some point. But I don't recall if it ever worked with more than two people.

In effect, we have to test making sure no mod names have '-git' appended to the mod name or directory, and if it that fails, make sure the mod folder is not a symlink, @Jammyjamjamman @sl5

Anyway, will just need to do some retesting to confirm this and maybe remember it next time.

In a26, me and @Jammyjamjamman were able to play in the lobby after making sure the mod directories matched the mod names. Symlinking to a directory that didn't match worked (the symlink matched the mod name, the source directory did not.

We had 2 mods enabled, cm2 and 10ad.

I want to test with a third person before closing this ticket.

Works in either a25 or a26 lobby
