C2-58B:

J:
Add a "Publish" button to the editor that only the users "admin" and "joy" can use that saves the current private save to public.

Ariel:
I’ll try to locate the latest Dungeon editor backup and patch the editor/save flow directly. I’ll target this as a gated “private save → public save” action for only admin and joy, without exposing the button to other users.

J:
Do you need the zip?
Thought for 50s

Ariel:
Yes — please send the latest full zip.

For this patch, the useful pieces are:

Current alpha/Dungeon editor files
The save/load API PHP files
Any private/public save folders or server-side storage code
The current active private save, since Dungeon can diverge from original assets via server-side storage

I’ll add the gated Publish button for only admin and joy, then make it copy/save the current private save into the public save area.

Ariel:
Got it. I’ll inspect the uploaded backup, find the editor/save endpoints, then return a patched zip and note the exact files changed.

I found the editor already has private logged-in save slots and a clone-slot API. I’m adding Publish as a separate server-side action that copies the active private slot’s assets into the public Dungeon assets, with both UI and API username gates.

J:
You need to make a save slot selection down-down.

Ariel:
Understood — I’ll make the Publish control choose a target public save slot from a dropdown, instead of blindly overwriting one public location. I’ll wire the selected slot through to the server-side publish action and validate it there.

J:
You need to make a save slot selection drop-down.

J:
I meant, you need to be able select which save slot is being used in the Editor.

Ariel:
Got it — the Editor itself needs an active save-slot selector, so you can choose which private save slot the editor loads/saves against. I’ll treat Publish as using the currently selected editor slot as its source.

J:
Ensure new save slots are able to be saved over.

Ariel:
I’m folding the slot selector into the source panel now: existing private slots will appear in a dropdown, while the text field still allows a new/custom slot name. Saving will continue to overwrite the active selected/custom slot.

The core patch is in place now. I’ve added a server-side save-slot listing, a Save Slot dropdown plus custom slot input, and a Publish action gated both in PHP and in the UI for admin/joy.

Done — patched zip is here:

Changed:

Added Editor Save Slot dropdown populated from private server-side save slots.
Kept a custom/new slot input so new save slots can be created and saved over.
Selecting a dropdown slot loads that slot into the Editor.
Save Map / Save Tile / Save Abilities continue writing to the active selected/custom slot.
Clone now explicitly overwrites the target slot.
Added Publish button for only admin and joy.
Added server-side publish gate too, so non-admin / non-joy users cannot call the API directly.
Publish copies the active private save slot’s persistent assets to public Dungeon assets:
root *.csv
tiles/
maps/
sounds/

Validated:

php -l passed for modified PHP files.
node --check passed for Editor/js/editor.js.
Editor API boot smoke test returned valid JSON with save-slot data.
Output zip passed unzip -t.

J:
I meant as a delta.

Ariel:
Understood — I’ll produce a delta zip containing only the files changed from the original backup, not the whole project.

Thought for 39s

Done — delta zip only:
