  • Bugfix Reports: if images were too large, they could not be added to the DB resulting in an error (fixed to reduce images in colors to allow for better compression).

  • Modding: there is now an option to enable/disable open travel per default for a map bundle (Modding -> Template -> Parameters). If you have an older map, please uncheck the box and re-upload the map to have it be closed travel by default (e.g. Jacob719).
