Add per-mode map rotation weights and per-map modifier overrides 🗺️

[FloPinguin]

Description:

Each map's info.json now supports three optional per-mode rotation weights (ffa_frequency, team_frequency, special_frequency) that override the shared multiplayer_frequency for specific lobby types. Setting a frequency to 0 excludes the map from that lobby entirely. Omit any field to fall back to multiplayer_frequency.

Maps can also declare disabled_modifiers (modifier keys that should never be rolled in special games) and forced_modifiers (modifiers always applied, with optional percentage syntax like "isWaterNukes:75" for a 75% chance). Forced modifiers count toward the 3-modifier cap and respect excluded modifiers.

This replaces four hardcoded sets that were previously in MapPlaylist.ts (Nice cleanup 🧹):

• SPECIAL_ONLY_MAPS (ArchipelagoSea, Sol) -> set ffa_frequency: 0, team_frequency: 0 in info.json
• SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER (2x for maps with special_team_count) -> removed; these maps now use their base multiplayer_frequency in the team playlist (intentional behavior change to be tuned per-map via team_frequency if needed)
• WATER_NUKES_BOOSTED_MAPS (6 maps, 50% chance) -> forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"] in info.json
• FULL_LAND_MAPS (TheBox, Alps, 75% chance) -> forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:75"] in info.json

All map tuning is now data-driven through info.json instead of hardcoded TypeScript sets. Great for mappers.

Map settings already applied:

Map	Settings
ArchipelagoSea	ffa_frequency: 0, team_frequency: 0, forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
Sol	ffa_frequency: 0, team_frequency: 0, forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
Four Islands	forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
Baikal	forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
Luna	forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
Chopping Block	forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"]
The Box	forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:75"]

Walkthrough

Map metadata now supports per-mode playlist frequencies and special-game modifier rules. The generator validates and emits these fields, playlist logic consumes them, and consistency tests verify source and generated data.

Changes

Map metadata flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Metadata contract and generated map data map-generator/README.md, map-generator/assets/maps/*/info.json, map-generator/codegen.go, src/core/game/Maps.gen.ts, src/core/game/Game.ts, resources/maps/*/manifest.json	Documents, validates, and generates per-mode frequencies plus disabled and forced modifier fields. Map entries add frequency fallbacks and map-specific isWaterNukes modifiers.
Playlist frequency and modifier application src/server/MapPlaylist.ts	Selects playlist-specific frequencies and applies map-defined disabled or forced modifiers during special-game configuration.
Metadata consistency validation tests/MapConsistency.test.ts	Compares the new fields with generated data and validates frequency and modifier formats.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 996b8

Map configuration can currently describe forced modifiers that the generator will reject, which may cause affected map data or builds to fail despite passing type checks. The PR should not merge until this bounded configuration mismatch is fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Use a typed union for forcedModifiers.

forcedModifiers?: string[] accepts unknown modifier keys and invalid percentage forms. The generator validates these values, but the exported MapInfo type does not preserve that contract. Define the union in the generator template, then regenerate this file.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes before merge — the PR's core feature (forced modifiers) is broken by an ordering bug, plus a silent behavior regression for special-team maps.

Findings by severity: 1 Critical, 1 High, 1 Medium

---

src/server/MapPlaylist.ts

🔴 Critical — Forced modifiers can never be applied, and are instead permanently excluded (lines 264-265)

excludedModifiers.push(key);
if (!excludedModifiers.includes(key) && Math.random() < chance) {
  appliedForced.add(key);
}

key is pushed into excludedModifiers on the line immediately before the guard checks !excludedModifiers.includes(key). Since key was just pushed, that check is always false, so appliedForced is always empty — no forced_modifiers entry from info.json ever fires. Worse, because the push happens unconditionally, the modifier is now also permanently removed from the random pool for that map. This inverts the PR's stated intent: Alps/TheBox go from a documented 75% water-nukes chance to 0%, and Baikal/FourIslands/Luna/ChoppingBlock/ArchipelagoSea/Sol go from 50% to 0% — strictly worse than the pre-PR hardcoded behavior it's replacing.

Fix: check excludedModifiers.includes(key) before pushing, e.g.:

if (!excludedModifiers.includes(key)) {
  excludedModifiers.push(key);
  if (Math.random() < chance) {
    appliedForced.add(key);
  }
}

🟠 High — Forced modifiers bypass mutual-exclusion enforcement (lines 264, 298-312)

The old code explicitly excluded both sides of a conflicting pair when boosting (excludedModifiers.push("isWaterNukes", "isNukesDisabled")). The new forced-modifier path only pushes the forced key itself (line 264), and appliedForced is applied directly to the result (lines 298-312) without going through getRandomSpecialGameModifiers's MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS check (that check only runs over pool-selected selected keys, not appliedForced). Once the critical bug above is fixed, a map with forced_modifiers: ["isWaterNukes:50"] could still randomly roll isNukesDisabled from the pool, producing a game with both flags set — exactly the conflicting combination MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS and the old boost logic were designed to prevent.

Fix: when pushing a forced modifier to excludedModifiers, also push its mutually-exclusive counterpart(s) from MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS.

🟡 Medium — SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER removed with no data-driven replacement (lines 584-589, deletion at old line ~58)

The 2x team-playlist frequency boost for maps in SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS (any map with specialTeamCount set — 24 maps, e.g. Korea, TaiwanStrait, Baikal, ChoppingBlock, FourIslands, Luna, etc.) is deleted outright. The new per-mode switch (lines 575-596) only reads teamFrequency if explicitly set in info.json, but this PR does not add team_frequency to any of those 24 maps' info.json files (only ArchipelagoSea/Sol get team_frequency: 0, and neither has special_team_count). The result is a silent, undocumented halving of team-playlist weight for every special-team map compared to pre-PR behavior. If intentional, this should be called out in the PR description and ideally encoded via explicit team_frequency values in each affected map's info.json; otherwise it looks like a missed migration step.

---

No CLAUDE.md compliance issues were found (determinism, src/core test coverage, and i18n rules are all respected — the new Math.random() usage lives in src/server, not src/core).

Verdict: Needs a fix before merge — one logic bug inverts the intended semantics of percentage-based forced modifiers.

Findings: 1 High, 1 Low (2 total)

src/server/MapPlaylist.ts

[High] Line 267 — A failed forced-modifier roll still excludes the modifier from the random pool

OpenFrontIO/src/server/MapPlaylist.ts

Lines 259 to 271 in 08bc833

	if (mapInfo?.forcedModifiers) {
	for (const entry of mapInfo.forcedModifiers) {
	const [mod, pctStr] = entry.split(":");
	const key = mod as ModifierKey;
	const chance = pctStr !== undefined ? parseInt(pctStr, 10) / 100 : 1;
	if (!excludedModifiers.includes(key) && Math.random() < chance) {
	appliedForced.add(key);
	}
	excludedModifiers.push(key);
	// Only exclude counterpart when the forced roll actually succeeded;
	// a failed percentage roll should leave the counterpart eligible.
	if (appliedForced.has(key)) {
	for (const [a, b] of MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS) {

In the forcedModifiers loop, excludedModifiers.push(key) runs unconditionally — even when the percentage roll (Math.random() < chance) fails:

if (!excludedModifiers.includes(key) && Math.random() < chance) {
  appliedForced.add(key);
}
excludedModifiers.push(key); // always runs, regardless of roll outcome

getRandomSpecialGameModifiers filters its candidate pool by excludedModifiers, so a percentage-based forced_modifiers entry (e.g. "isWaterNukes:50") now caps that modifier's appearance rate at the stated percentage instead of boosting it on top of the normal pool — which is what the PR description ("...with optional percentage syntax like isWaterNukes:75 for a 75% chance") and the adjacent comment ("Forced modifiers are excluded from the random pool so they don't get rolled twice") both intend.

Pre-PR, a failed roll left isWaterNukes eligible in the normal random pool (WATER_NUKES_BOOSTED_MAPS/FULL_LAND_MAPS logic only excluded it when the boost succeeded). Post-PR, a failed roll removes it entirely for that lobby. Concretely: FourIslands, Baikal, Luna, ArchipelagoSea, ChoppingBlock, and Sol all declare "isWaterNukes:50" — on the 50% of lobbies where the roll fails, water nukes become impossible for that lobby, a lower effective rate than a map that declares no forced_modifiers at all (where it's just a normal pool candidate). This is also inconsistent with the very next line's comment ("a failed percentage roll should leave the counterpart eligible"), which correctly makes the counterpart exclusion conditional on appliedForced.has(key) but leaves the key's own exclusion unconditional.

Suggested fix: move excludedModifiers.push(key); inside the if (appliedForced.has(key)) block below it, so only modifiers that actually got applied are excluded from the random pool.

[Low] Lines 52-53 — Stale comment describes the removed team-frequency doubling

OpenFrontIO/src/server/MapPlaylist.ts

Lines 51 to 55 in 08bc833

	// "special_team_count" in each map's info.json.
	// For these maps: team-playlist frequency is doubled, and the preferred
	// team count overrides the random TEAM_WEIGHTS roll with SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE.
	const SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE = 0.75;
	const SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS: ReadonlyMap<GameMapType, TeamCountConfig> = new Map(

// For these maps: team-playlist frequency is doubled, and the preferred
// team count overrides the random TEAM_WEIGHTS roll with SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE.
const SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE = 0.75;

This comment still describes the old SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER (2x) behavior, which this PR intentionally removes per its own description ("SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER ... removed; these maps now use their base multiplayer_frequency in the team playlist"). That's a deliberate, documented behavior change (not flagged as an issue here), but the doubling no longer happens anywhere in the file, so the first clause of the comment is now inaccurate and will mislead future readers.

Suggested fix: drop the "team-playlist frequency is doubled" clause, keeping only the still-accurate part about the preferred team count / SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE.

Verdict: No issues found — this change looks correct and safe to merge as-is.

Findings by severity: Critical: 0, High: 0, Medium: 0, Low: 0

Summary

Reviewed the full diff (map-generator/codegen.go, src/server/MapPlaylist.ts, the generated Maps.gen.ts/manifest files, and tests/MapConsistency.test.ts) via four independent passes (two for CLAUDE.md compliance, two for bugs/logic/security), plus manual verification of the frequency-fallback switch, the forced/disabled-modifier interaction with MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS, and the 3-modifier cap trimming.

• CLAUDE.md compliance: No violations. src/core changes (Game.ts, Maps.gen.ts) are deterministic, dependency-free data/type additions with matching test coverage in tests/MapConsistency.test.ts. No user-facing text was added, so the translateText()/en.json rule isn't implicated.
• Correctness: The migration from the four hardcoded sets (SPECIAL_ONLY_MAPS, SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER, WATER_NUKES_BOOSTED_MAPS, FULL_LAND_MAPS) to data-driven info.json fields is behavior-preserving for all 8 affected maps — the forced-modifier percentages match the old hardcoded chances, and ffa_frequency: 0/team_frequency: 0 on ArchipelagoSea/Sol reproduces the old SPECIAL_ONLY_MAPS gating. The one behavior change (special-team maps no longer get a 2x team-playlist weight) is explicitly called out as intentional in the PR description, not a regression.
• Percentage rolling / cap logic in MapPlaylist.ts: the forced-modifier roll, mutual-exclusion propagation into excludedModifiers, and the 3-modifier cap all check out for the current map data (max 1 forced modifier per map).

Two minor, non-blocking observations (not filed as findings since they're not reachable with current data and don't affect this PR's correctness):

• codegen.go's fmt.Sscanf(pct, "%d", &n) accepts trailing garbage (e.g. "50x" → 50), looser than the /^\d+$/ check added in tests/MapConsistency.test.ts — the vitest test is an effective backstop today, but strconv.Atoi would be more consistent.
• If a map ever declares 4+ forced_modifiers, the cap-trim in MapPlaylist.ts silently drops the excess without codegen validation catching it — worth a len(...) > 3 check in codegen.go if that scenario becomes reachable.
