Context and Problem Statement

We don’t know which are maps and avatars are compatible to load.

Describe the proposed option and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Add date and version number to maps list

Can also be add xmp metadata packets to each packed scene.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, or diagrams

When the user presses launches the game, there should be no unnecessary steps.

Positive Consequences

It is easier to pick content that is loadable.

Negative Consequences

We cannot get other features in.

Option graveyard

  • Option: The status quo.
  • Rejection Reason: This solves nothing.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

  1. this requires a server change
  2. this requires a godot engine change

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

Usability is a core feature.
