One last question, regarding exiting to Cryptic Maps

meraxa

So, thanks to those who've posted in the previous two threads I tossed up, managed to clarify a fair bit for me. I've generally got my first Foundry Mission completely now, touching on typos and all that, hoping map transitions work well enough. There is one thing however I wanted to asked on. Specifically, is there a reason leaving to Cryptic Maps doesn't give you the transition dialogue for editing, as with the New Indoor/Outdoor/Space map options?

By which I mean it looks like this:


And on testing out the map with the transition (knowing obviously it won't go anywhere in the editor), I'm left with with a standard 'Go to Next Map' pop up I seemingly cannot alter. Is there a way to alter that, or am I basically stuck with it?

Apologies for a double post, but just hoping to see if I can get any insight on this. Otherwise I guess I'll just have to publish it and hope for the best.

Dunno, it's just part of the Foundry. You can't specify transition prompts from Cryptic maps. Could be a technical limitation of using live social maps for Foundry tasks.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Well then, I'll just launch it as is, and hope it all functions.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to change this text.

The only way to get rid of this particular type of map transition and have a "real" / standard one, is by replacing the Cryptic/social map with one of your own (e.g. instead of using the ESD social map, creating your own ESD map and populationg it with NPCs / objects). The downside is obvious: your own map won't have the fuctionality of the social map (exchange, bank other players etc.). It's really up to you and the demands of your storyand mission.
