Restricting access to Select Map?
Is there a way to restrict access to Select Map? Filenames can be spoilers. I'd like to disable Select Map for players, and Enforce them to maps as needed. Can this be done?

You can turn off the Player Visible for a Map. You can also call players to a map, even one that is not visible.

Re: Restricting access to Select Map?
Yeah, this is a problem for how I run my games, too. I wish we could toggle the default Select Map option off.
A workaround, like Alias mentioned, is to set all the maps as "Not Visible to Players" and move players to maps using Tool>Enforce Players to Current Map. You have to live with the "Not Visible to players" warning at the top of the screen when doing this though.
You might want to create a settings lib token (something like "Lib:Settings"). Add the Property "Starting Map" to it. Then, on that token, insert the following code into an onCampaignLoad macro:
Code: Select all
[h: setCurrentMap(StartingMap)]
