1.29 Compatibility Issues

[tulee]

Hi guys, sorry for this silly question.

I was just wondering if the non compatibility of maps saved with 1.29 + editor are related to the specific 1.29 features or just for the editor itself.

I ask this because after reading through many posts here and on the maps section, I was under the impression that the 1.29 editor will create incompatibility issues just by saving a map with it.

However, after seeing some people being able to play a map saved with the 1.29 editor on a lower version, I now have doubts.

One user said he was able to play the map with 1.28. I have been reading on this issue on the forum, but since I do not know what features the maps I read about use (if they use 1.29 features or not when saving), I cannot deduce from other people's experiences what is causing the incompatibility.

So basically I just want to know if I should still say : "1.29 required" even though no 1.29 feature is used, its just a conversion that is saved with the 1.29 editor.

Sorry if the answer is easily available, other people have written their experiences but I do not know what features they are using in their maps.

We created the Gnoll Campaign with the patch 1.28 World Editor and made some modifications to it with the 1.29 PTR World Editor and the 1.29.0 World Editor. We did not use any of the new 1.29 features. The end result was that the campaign worked only on 1.29.

I think if one uses color change action, it might have a side effect. And of course the guaranteed new natives. I'll try if a simple save blocks the map file.
