Pinning Map Signs

[Wrecker014]

While I certainly appreciate the landmarks that using the personalized map option brings, I find myself desiring to insert my own. I try to use the map sign tool for this purpose, however, any labels put on by the tool appear to disappear after three turns. I am uncertain if this is a result of the BUG mod or something else, so I'm looking for advice on the subject.

It's a bug we can't seem to fix sadly. So far as I know. We've had some really brilliant folks look into it and explain why it's nearly impossible to correct, discourses which were all way over my head.

Darn, a shame. If I knew Python I'd look into it myself, but I don't think Java or C translates very well in that regard.

It was a problem across python and C++.

If I may so ask, and I don't know if you know the answer to this, what is the difference between the signs that are placed either by the personalized map option and, I think it's BUG mod (for the tile yield changing events), and those that are placed down by a user, besides input? They must be handled differently, given that, at least in my experience with the tile yield signs, if those are deleted by a user they return in a few turns (presuming the option for them is enabled in BUG anyway).

I'm not sure how to answer that question. Again, this is not my area of expertise. God-Emperor knew quite a bit about this stuff.

Alright. Thanks for the responsiveness anyway!

The problem was introduced when work started on the road towards Multi Maps ie step one Viewports. I think God_Emperor's solution worked before Viewports was complete but not afterwards, and yes it requires both Python and dll work.
