5.0 RC39 -> 5.0 RC40 (02.12.2018)

[+] (SoD, HD+) New cheat code nwctheone: reveal the entire map, 5 archons in each empty slot, infinite movement points, flying.
[+] (SoD) In the Hotseat window, the second player's name is already entered, the "OK" button is active, and the [ENTER] key activates the "OK" button instead of moving the focus through the text fields.
[+] (SoD) New save path for random maps (when the UI.Ext.ScenarioMgr.Folders tweak is active): Random\opponent's name (if multiplayer)\date-time template name.
Date-time is in the format YYYY.MM.DD HH;MM, and the date-time is local for each player (instead of the host as before). (!) The new save path applies only to newly generated maps; for old saves and for author-created maps, the save paths remain the same.
[+] (SoD) Tournament autosaves in Hotseat now have the prefix [hotseat]
[-] (WoG/ERA) critical bug.
[ ] (SoD) numerous minor changes and fixes.
[ ] Minor changes and fixes.

Wow, what convenient new features. I already made a script for the cheat codes a long time ago to automatically enter the necessary codes because it was tedious to type or copy them manually every time. Now it's not needed, which is a plus :-)
I've wanted something similar for saving and loading in Hotseat for a long time because it's inconvenient to click every time. And to start a new day, you had to move the saves to a safe place beforehand.
In general, these seem like small visual enhancements, but they are very useful and convenient. Respect!

P.S. It would be cool (and a little disappointing) if replays were added to the game in a convenient format soon. I've worked on them extensively and have already achieved significant progress :-) But seriously, I'm all for it. It's better to have it convenient and accessible for everyone than to create some kind of workaround.

Update 5.0 RC40 crashes saves made in RC39. Reverting the update fixes the saves.

P.S. Is it normal that the console now pops up? It's not very convenient.

After the latest updates (currently using RC42), I can’t enter the names of created and loaded games in the HotA lobby (I can only type numbers as a password). This happens regardless of the language, Caps Lock, etc. I have to leave the name field blank. I’ve restarted the game and the computer multiple times, but nothing helps. It might seem like a minor issue, but it’s still annoying…

P.S. I haven’t checked the Soda lobby yet.

Or maybe it's because the map is far from typical, but rather "Rise of the Sun King"? Have you tried using nwctheone on regular maps?

Everything works fine on regular maps. But other cheats don't cause crashes on this map, so nwctheone shouldn't be an exception either.

I noticed that after the update, the game (SOD) doesn't recognize the folder containing the daily save files. Is this happening to anyone else?

Do you mean the folder or the actual daily save files within the folder?

Are you referring to the folder itself or the save files within that folder?
Everything is working fine; a folder named "Random" has been created, and new saves are being stored there.

Thanks for the tip, I was just looking for my new save files for the last 15 minutes.
