if new game: last map setting is forgotten

[seeh]

i never play (nearly never) play

Skirmish from Map type. (BTW (by the way) i usually select/play Random from Map type).

But very often it snaps to "Select Skirmish from Map type".

Reasons?:

is it snapping to Skirmish if i do changes at the hotkey? Or some other possible reasons?

this happens when you switch from random to skirmish.

The random settings disappear.

my observation is that they restore to default after installing/removing mods.

Are you able to reproduce the problem without mods?

seems so. if i remember correct autoCiv was report short time before a hotkey was added message-box to me.

i was not able to reproduce it.

I just know that it has happened to me more than once (over the years or months , sometimes). now i tried to get this message from autociv again (from yesterday). but didn't come back. i was disable attackRange hotkey and enabled but now no problem anymore.

BTW sometimes i have 0ad two times running and the user-config in an editor at same time.

BTW  i found the place where its stored:

data/config/matchsettings.json (so maybe good idea to backup this or enabe a fileWatcher for this)

[seeh]

again. hmm.

i have opened:

1 studio code.
2 opened file data/mods/public/simulation/data/settings/game_speeds.json (did nothing)
3 started singe game and it was skirmish hmmm

set to random

did all the stuff again, but now stayed at random. hmm

There is not such file in the repository. If it's a config file in a user folder, then it isn't meant to be tracked.

So the issue happens only when the file is opened in an editor?

no. i dont think so. sorry it's so complicated. anyway it's not a serious problem. I guess it happens more often when I'm doing any development work on mods or directly on the 0ad mod (e.g. changing maximum replay speed). If I find something else, I'll post it here again. maybe it will suddenly become clear.
