N/A — maintainer follow-up to #4227.
## Description:
Follow-up to #4227, finishing the "info.json is the single source of
truth" refactor.
**Maps.gen.ts now generates one `MapInfo` interface and a `maps` list**
instead of parallel lookup records. `mapCategories`,
`mapTranslationKeys`, and `multiplayerFrequency` are gone — consumers
read the list directly (`map.categories`, `map.translationKey`,
`map.multiplayerFrequency`). MapPicker got simpler in the process: it
renders from `MapInfo` objects, so the reverse
`Object.entries(GameMapType)` lookup to recover the enum key is gone.
The featured-rank sort moved out of the Go codegen into the picker,
where the presentation concern belongs.
**`SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS` moves into info.json** as an optional
`special_team_count` field (set on the same 17 maps with the same
values). MapPlaylist derives its map from the generated list;
`SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE` and the frequency multiplier behavior are
unchanged.
**The en.json `map` section is now generated.** A new optional
`display_name` field in info.json (defaulting to `name`) is written to
`resources/lang/en.json` by the generator, preserving the section's
non-map UI keys (`map`, `featured`, `all`, `favorites`, `random`). The 8
maps whose English display name intentionally differs from the frozen
enum value (e.g. `MENA`, `Milky Way`, `Europe (Classic)`, `Baikal (Nuke
Wars)`) declare it via `display_name`, so no display text changes. The
section is emitted alphabetically; since #4232 already sorted en.json
and every value matches, regeneration is byte-identical and this PR has
no en.json diff. Other languages remain Crowdin-managed.
The generator also now validates `translation_key` is exactly
`map.<folder>` and `special_team_count >= 2`. MapConsistency tests
compare info.json directly against the generated list and the en.json
section, and fail with a "run `npm run gen-maps`" message on drift. No
behavior changes: enum values, playlist frequencies, special-team
counts, featured order, and display names are all byte-identical.

N/A — maintainer change, groundwork for #4231.
## Description:
One-time recursive key sort of `resources/lang/en.json` (`jq -S` +
prettier), with a test (`tests/EnJsonSorted.test.ts`) that enforces the
invariant from now on.
Why: sorted keys make the file deterministic, give translation PRs
stable insertion points instead of everyone appending at section ends,
and let the map-generator (#4231) rewrite the en.json map section with a
plain JSON unmarshal/marshal round-trip — Go's `encoding/json` sorts
object keys on marshal, so under this invariant a full-file rewrite is a
no-op for everything it doesn't change.
Crowdin matches translation entries by key path, not file position, so
existing translations are unaffected. Only en.json is touched and
checked; other language files remain Crowdin-managed (they may get
reordered by Crowdin's next export, which is cosmetic).
The diff is 100% line moves — no key or value changes (JSON-equal before
and after).

N/A — maintainer refactor.
## Description:
Makes each map's `info.json` the single source of truth for map metadata
— adding a map is now a folder with `image.png` + `info.json`, a
`gen-maps` run, and an en.json display name.
**info.json / manifest.json carry full map metadata.** Every
`map-generator/assets/maps/<map>/info.json` declares `id` (the
`GameMapType` enum key), `name` (the enum value — wire format, unchanged
for all 94 maps), `translation_key`, `categories`, and
`multiplayer_frequency` (the public-playlist weight that used to be the
`FREQUENCY` record in MapPlaylist.ts). The generator validates
everything and mirrors it into `resources/maps/<map>/manifest.json`. 23
stale info.json `name` values were normalized to the canonical enum
value; enum values are byte-identical, so replays and stored game
configs are unaffected.
**The generator emits the TypeScript and discovers maps itself.** New
`map-generator/codegen.go` generates `src/core/game/Maps.gen.ts`
(`GameMapType`, `GameMapName`, `mapCategories`, `mapTranslationKeys`,
`multiplayerFrequency` — now a full `Record<GameMapName, number>`,
killing the old `Partial`) on every run; `Game.ts` re-exports it. The
hardcoded map registry in `main.go` is gone — maps are auto-discovered
from the `assets/maps` / `assets/test_maps` directories. MapConsistency
tests fail with a "run `npm run gen-maps`" message if info.json,
manifest.json, and Maps.gen.ts drift. The tracked
`map-generator/map-generator` binary is rebuilt to match.
**New categories: continents + world/cosmic/tournament/other,
multi-category support.** `continental`/`regional`/`fantasy`/`arcade`
are replaced by `featured`, `world`, `europe`, `asia`, `north_america`,
`africa`, `south_america`, `oceania`, `antarctica`, `cosmic`,
`tournament`, and `other`. Maps can list multiple categories, so
straddlers (Black Sea, Bosphorus, Caucasus, Between Two Seas, Bering
Sea/Strait, Mena, Strait of Gibraltar, Hawaii, Arctic) appear under both
regions. Featured is itself a category (same 7 maps as before).
MapPlaylist keeps its arcade exclusion via an explicit set.
**Map picker UI.** Two tabs: **Featured** (default — featured maps plus
a Favorites section when maps are starred) and **All** (one prominent
collapsible bar per category with a map count, collapsed by default).
The selected map is prepended to the featured grid when it lives
elsewhere. `getMapName()` resolves through the generated
`mapTranslationKeys`, which also fixes tourney maps never resolving a
valid translation key.

The hovered player (tile owner under the cursor, already tracked via
uHighlightOwnerID for cull bypass) now gets a soft white glow behind
their name. The glow is derived from the MSDF distance field: a white
band past the outline with quadratic falloff, composited behind the
glyph and clamped to the SDF margin so it never clips at quad edges.
Glow size and strength are tunable via hoverGlowWidth/hoverGlowAlpha
in render-settings.json, exposed as sliders in the graphics settings
modal (persisted as graphics overrides) and in the debug GUI.
Includes schema and apply tests for the new override fields,
covering the 0 edge case (0 disables the glow, not "unset").
The clan-tag ownership check previously failed closed: when the API
service was unreachable (e.g. during local development), the client
dropped the tag with a "couldn't verify" error and the server's
FailOpenPrivilegeChecker treated every unverifiable tag as reserved.
This made clan tags unusable whenever the API was down.
- Client: checkClanTagOwnership keeps the tag when the existence
probe is inconclusive; the server still re-checks authoritatively.
- Server: FailOpenPrivilegeChecker passes tags through instead of
dropping non-member tags; decideClanTag now takes a non-nullable
reserved set since the null case is gone.
- Remove the now-unused username.tag_check_failed translation key.
- Update Privilege and ClanApiQueries tests for fail-open behavior.
Trade-off: if the reserved-tag list is unavailable in production,
real clan tags can be impersonated until the first successful
PrivilegeRefresher load; after that the last good checker is retained.

## Description:
Adds colorblind mode. Similar to dark mode, it exists as a toggle in
settings. When enabled, it swaps the game's theme (which is refactored
to extend from a theme base class) to use more colorblind-friendly
colors and brightness variations. Borders are darkened, and terrarin is
separated by lightness. Friendly/Foe colors and switched to blue/orange
instead of red/green.
The theme refactor supports adding new themes without having to
reimplement the color distribution system. New themes can extend the
BaseTheme and supply the data, such as palettes, team-color variations,
and terrain.

## Description:
Player name plates can block the view of what's underneath them
(structures, units, terrain). This PR fades the entire name plate —
name, troop count, flag, and emoji/status row — to 25% opacity while the
cursor is over it, so you can see and click what's behind it.
**How it works:**
- `HoverHighlightController` pushes the cursor's world position into the
renderer on mouse move.
- `NamePass` hit-tests the cursor against each player's name plate
bounds on the CPU (mirroring the lerp/sizing math in `name.vert.glsl`)
and passes the matched player's ID to the text, icon, and status-icon
programs, which apply the alpha multiplier in their shaders.
**Graphics setting:**
- New "Name opacity under cursor" slider in the Graphics Settings modal
(Name Labels section), range 0–1, default 0.25. Setting it to 1 disables
the fade entirely.
- Wired through the existing `GraphicsOverrides` pipeline: changes apply
live and are cleared by "Reset to defaults".
- Tuning knob exposed as `name.hoverFadeAlpha` in `render-settings.json`
and the debug GUI.

Local-player rails previously rendered in the white focused-border color
from the palette, making them hard to see on light territory. Rails now
use a dedicated local rail color: white normally, flipped to black when
the territory backdrop is too light for white to read against (patterns
average their primary/secondary brightness).
Also add a railThickness render setting (0.5-3, default 1), exposed in
the Graphics Settings modal and the debug GUI, and persisted via
GraphicsOverrides. In the medium-zoom LOD, rails are now drawn as
screen-space anti-aliased lines around each tile's rail centerline,
accumulated from the 3x3 neighborhood so thick lines spill cleanly into
neighboring tiles; detailed mode scales its sub-grid band widths.

- Borders an AFK teammate: "You can attack disconnected teammates"
(Because its not obvious for new players)
Info messages only appear when the player has not attacked the relevant
neighbor for at least 15 seconds, so they do not show up without reason.

[[thread](https://discord.com/channels/1284581928254701718/1472496670267805782)],
we should have a map favouriting system since there are over 70 maps
already. People (myself included) have some maps we constantly play
during solo/private matches, so a favourite tab would be huge.
This feature adds the favourites tab to the solo and private match
selection screens. It works using localStorage for saving (device
persistence) but I can just as easily implement an infra update where
players have a 1-many relation with a `FavouriteMaps` table. That can be
a future solution. Video example right now:

## Description:
This PR update the test checking validity of Nation Names to include the
new character constraint explained below.
It also fixes the 10 Nations that invalid characters (that did not
render correctly on the map).
**The new character constraint**
According to testing, the game map renders correctly all safe
Extended-ASCII characters (non colored in www.ascii-code.com =
[0x20–0x7E] or [0xA0-0xFF]). Other characters, when present in Nation
Names, are rendered correctly in the rest of the game but not on the
map, where they are trimmed to the last byte, which is then interpreted
as Extended-ASCII and rendered if possible.
**How to quickly check my assertion**
1. Change the file resources/maps/world/manifest.json, renaming one of
the countries to "a.á.आ!š!慢!".
2. Start a game on the world map without any bots
3. Verify that the nation name is well displayed in its overlay but is
shown as "a.á.!a!b!" on the map.
(characters before a point are preserved, but characters before an
exclamation mark are missing/changed).
4. run `npm run test` and notice that the NationName test fails and
lists the three non-valid characters.
Explanation: The string is represented in UNICODE-16 as
\u0061\u002e\u00e1\u002e\u0906\u0021\u0161\u0021\u6162\u0021.
Which, when we keep only the right-most byte of each character gives:
61 2e e1 2e 06 21 61 21 62 21
And, converted in Extended-ASCII gives:
a.á.�!a!b!
(which matches the showed name if we discard the control character).
**The 10 Nations which needed a fix**
Utqiaġvik from the Bearing Strait.
Ar Rayyān from the Strait of Hormuz.
6 Nations in the Bosphorus Straits.
2 Easter-egg Nations from Luna.
The 8 real-world Nations were adapted by simply removing the diacritics
(after confirmation from a speaker of arabic and turkish, but sadly none
for the Utqiaġvik Nation).
The Secret Base from Luna was renamed "T0Þ $e¢®ët Mi|¡tªr¥ ß@§£", all
within Extended-ASCII, keeping the same spirit as the original name.
However, the Monolith Nation (previously named ▊, without any flag) has
changed quite a lot and needs some explanation.
**Easter-egg Nation Monolith**
The new name is "ΜΟΝΟʟΙȚΗ", which is entirely outside of the valid
character zone but in a way that entirely disappears on the map (as the
आ character in the example above). This means that on the map, the
Nation has no name and only its Monolith-flag.
However, in all other places (leaderboard, overlay, alliances, warnings,
etc.) the name is displayed correctly.
The included test excludes this precise name from its violation list.

The territory fragment shader blends the fill toward its luminance based
on uSaturation and applies uTerritoryAlpha as the absolute fill opacity.
Both are wired through RenderSettings, the GraphicsOverrides schema,
applyGraphicsOverrides, the debug Layout sliders, and TerritoryPass
uniforms, with defaults (saturation 1, alpha 0.588) in render-settings.json.

Warships now render with a dedicated center accent band so their state
reads at a glance:
- Normal: center + outer ring share the territory color (2-color look),
hull uses the border color.
- Angry (attacking): outer ring and center turn red.
- Retreating to repair: the center blinks black.
The warship sprite center moved to its own gray value (100) in the unit
atlas so the shader can drive it via a new fourth replacement band, with
no per-unit-type branching — the missiles' shared 130 blend band is
untouched.
Warship repair-retreat (warshipState.state === "retreating") now feeds
the existing UnitState.retreating boolean in UnitView, which UnitPass
maps to a FLAG_RETREATING instance flag.
The shell (unit-atlas.png col 7) was a centered 3×3 white square, so it
rendered as a 3×3-world-tile block. Replace it with a single centered
white pixel so shells render as one pixel, matching the original
pixel-shell look. The atlas is sampled with NEAREST and unitSize is 13
(1 atlas px ≈ 1 world tile), so the lone pixel stays crisp.
Update the UnitPass header comments that described the shell as 3×3.
The special effects toggle wrote settings.specialEffects but nothing in
the WebGL pipeline read it — the FX pass is gated on passEnabled.fx. The
setting was orphaned when the old canvas renderer was removed, so the
toggle had no visual effect.
Move the toggle into the graphics settings modal (under a new Effects
section) and remove it from the in-game settings modal and the homepage
user settings modal. Rewire it to a passEnabled.fx graphics override so
it actually toggles the FX pass, applied live via the existing graphics
override listener.
Delete the now-dead fxLayer()/toggleFxLayer() from UserSettings.
Note: users who previously disabled special effects will reset to on,
since the old settings.specialEffects key is no longer read.
Extend GraphicsOverrides with a mapOverlay group (territory highlight,
border highlight amount, border highlight thickness) and a railroad
group (train track draw distance), wired through the schema,
applyGraphicsOverrides, and new sliders in the graphics settings modal.
Fix the territory hover highlight: the shader received uHighlightBrighten
but ignored it, applying a hardcoded saturation boost so the setting had
no effect. It now drives a contrast boost (push channels away from
mid-gray), with 0 disabling the effect.
The train track slider is presented as a "draw distance" (inverted
railMinZoom) so higher = tracks stay visible when more zoomed out.
Also move the Graphics settings button to the top of the settings modal.

Render a soft radial glow underneath the hydrogen bomb sprite in
UnitPass. H-bomb instances draw an enlarged quad (hBombGlowScale) so
there's room for the halo; a cell-space UV remap keeps the sprite at its
normal size while the margin becomes glow area. The glow is a steady
(non-pulsing) radial falloff in a warm amber, alpha-blended underneath
the sprite and suppressed in alt/affiliation view.
Detection uses a HYDROGEN_BOMB_COL shader define derived from
UNIT_ORDER, so it tracks the atlas layout rather than hard-coding the
column. All other units are unaffected (scale 1, same fillrate); this
stays a single program / two instanced draw calls.
Glow color, scale, strength, and falloff are exposed in
render-settings.json for live tuning via the debug GUI.

Fixes#4069
Adds map of the Caribbean sea and its islands. Archipelago map with lots
of islands, lots of water and a lot of trade.
This map has multiple large landmasses of similar size to prevent
steamrolls (the largest islands and landmasses are around 30%), and
many, many small islands where players can survive and trade. Players
will have to island hop in order to win. 34 nations of Caribbean
countries and territories, with an extra 28 AdditionalNations for a
total of 62 nations for crowded HvN.
Heavy Island maps are very popular in the broader community and we dont
have one for v32, so i figured it would be nice to have a very requested
and popular world location
570k land tiles, fairly small for a map, would be right placed before
World (600k tiles). Also adds some flags of caribbean regions.

## Description:
"A high-stakes naval theater where empires clash over narrow corridors,
bottleneck straits, and heavily fortified shorelines."
Modeled to the exact strategic proportions of the classic Black Sea map,
Yellow Sea shifts the focus of global conflict to East Asia. The map is
defined by its massive central body of water, making naval dominance
absolutely essential for survival. However, unlike wide-open oceans,
control of the Yellow Sea is entirely dictated by its unique coastal
geography.
The Shandong And Liaoning Peninsulas are The definitive feature of the
map. Two massive, opposing peninsulas project deep into the sea, acting
as natural, heavily contestable daggers. They create tight naval choke
points in the central waters while forcing land-based players into
brutal, linear frontlines where every pixel of territory is bought with
blood.
The Continental Rim: A sprawling mainland coast wraps around the
northern and western edges of the map, offering expansive land routes
for players who prefer sweeping land invasions over amphibious assaults.
Scale Class: Medium
Gameplay Style: Naval/Land Hybrid, Tactical Choke Points, Frontline

The structureSprites toggle was only read by the toggle UIs themselves —
no rendering code ever consulted it. Drops the getter/setter from
UserSettings, both toggle rows (SettingsModal + UserSettingModal), and
the en.json keys. Other-language entries are left for Crowdin to reap.
Adds a "Classic icons" toggle in the structure-icons section of the
Graphics Settings modal. Off (default) keeps today's renderer look;
on switches to a classic style — lighter player-colored shape behind
a dark icon glyph, with 0.75 alpha for a subtle translucent feel.
Exposes the underlying tuning as new render-settings knobs
(`structure.fillDarken`, `borderDarken`, `iconAlpha`, `iconR/G/B`) and
threads them through the structure shader as uniforms, replacing the
previously hardcoded `darken(_, 0.65)` / `darken(_, 0.35)` calls and
the hardcoded white `vec3(1.0)` icon color. The `classicIcons` boolean
in the override schema is the single user-facing knob; the generator
derives the five underlying field values from it. Extends the
ClientGameRunner live-apply path to copy the `structure` slice too,
and adds tests covering the schema and preset derivation.
Adds a single "Name color" toggle (Colored / Black) to the Graphics
Settings modal, backed by a `darkNames` boolean in the override schema
that derives the five underlying name-rendering fields
(fill/outline player-color flags + static outline RGB). Forcing the
outline RGB to 0 in dark mode is what makes the shader's defaultFill
ramp actually render black — flipping the boolean uniforms alone
wasn't enough because the fill is derived from uOutlineColor when
fillUsePlayerColor is false.
Flips the render-settings.json defaults so black names are the
renderer baseline; the modal's no-override state follows the JSON
source of truth. Adds tests covering schema parse behavior and the
generateRenderSettings derivation for each override field.
## Description:
- Add a user-facing **Graphics Settings** modal accessible from the
in-game Settings menu, with live preview as sliders change.
- First two knobs: **Name Scale** and **Minimum Name Size** (the
name-cull threshold).
- Overrides stored as a single JSON blob in `localStorage` under
`settings.graphics`, validated by a Zod schema
(`GraphicsOverridesSchema`). Future graphics knobs just extend the
schema + slider list.
## How it fits together
- `generateRenderSettings(overrides)` (`RenderSettings.ts`) — pure
function: clones `render-settings.json` defaults, layers overrides on
top, returns a fresh `RenderSettings`.
- `UserSettings.graphicsOverrides()` / `setGraphicsOverrides()` —
read/write the blob; falls back to `{}` on a missing/corrupt entry.
- `ClientGameRunner` listens for
`USER_SETTINGS_CHANGED_EVENT:settings.graphics`, regenerates, and
`Object.assign`s each category into the live `view.getSettings()` slice
so passes pick up the new values on the next frame (no renderer
reconstruction).
- Modal reads defaults straight from `render-settings.json` so there's
no duplication.

The lil-gui render-settings panel (createDebugGui) has been an orphaned
export since the WebGL renderer landed — no caller, no hotkey, no menu
entry. Wire it to a button in SettingsModal that toggles the panel on
and off, and group it with the existing Performance Overlay toggle
under a new "Development Only" section above the Exit Game block.
## Description:
Labyrinth is a maze type map. My attempt at making a more chess style
board for play. Games with bots appear stable at over 45min average run
times. The map has been setup for team spawn zones for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7 teams. Some of the team spawns for odd numbers are experimental
and I would like to see how they play out with live players. Additional
nation names included. There are other design factors like each of the
large squares being within the blast radius of a hydro; small islands
are within the blast radius of nukes.
This is meant as a slower playing game. My intentions are to get some
sort of literal rotation of the map in the future if easily implemented.
That way every time players load the game there would be some
randomization.
As an additional note one of my last edit to the map was the "+" shape
to the islands to allow train passage. Zooming out I can see now that
the pattern is squares and + through out. Did not fully intend on that,
but it felt like good vibes.
