Developer Update - August 8, 2022

[RoonMoonlight]

Hello everyone!

First we want to apologize for lack of news and release about Starlight Map Combo project.

Iberia Rebuild will be dropped upon next release

We announced that we had to release the next version after August 15, 2022 due to Iberia Rebuild. However this is no longer the case.

After long discussion inside our team, we decided to drop Iberia Rebuild project on next release.

Since the 1.43 release we added Iberia Rebuild into the release for better details of the project. However the development of next version between release was way too long since 1.44 update, and the slow development speed caused the map combo to be delayed.

About the unsupported mods

Currently most mods has been updated to support 1.45, but some of important mods haven't been updated yet.

We are just going to initially release the mod to public, then we will update the mods which has been updated for 1.45 release.

About the Viva Malta addon

On ProMods 2.62 release, they added Valletta from ProMods which means conflict with Viva Malta add-on. We won't drop Viva Malta add-on for ProMods, as Viva Malta has more several towns around Valletta. (The author also stated that the current version is also supported and it can be resolved by placing the mod to the top.

Release date?

Release Date is now uncertain as of now, but it will be released shortly when it's ready. Starting from next release, we are now marking the mod optional on spreadsheet if the mod does not fully support the latest update of the game, so you can consider not to add them unless it's ready.

If you had garage or discovered place on the mod which had to be removed, don't worry. The missing garage and discovered areas will come back if you add back the mod when the mod is ready for 1.45.

Thank you for reading long developer update, and see you on next update.
