2023-05-13: AoE2DE RoR DLC changes

Copied from ~Jp (World’s Edge Server Engineer):

Hey everyone!

With RoR we’re making some changes that affect the APIs regarding lobbies, spectating and match history. The changes are mainly pertaining to the options string, civ IDs, match type IDs and map IDs.

I’ve decided to make a mapping to allow you to more easily update your resources. This mapping is constructed in the following way:

<Mapping Type>.json
{
  "Object Name": {
    "1": <ID in Dynasties of India>,
    "2": <ID in RoR>,
    "3+": <Reserved for future updates>
  },
<More Objects>
}

Mappings

Civ IDs

• We’ve added the Romans before Saracens and incremented all Civ IDs of Saracens and above by 1.

Map IDs

• Map IDs now map to loc string IDs, rather than an enum.
• Some maps do not have loc string IDs yet and will appear as -2. (This is a known issue we are working on.)

Options String

• We’ve removed key 2, leading to all keys being decremented by one.
• We’ve also added a new option, 97, which will distinguish, in custom lobbies, whether people are playing RoR or AoE2.97: 1 means RoR, 97: 2 means AoE2.

Match Type IDs

• We’ve added match type IDs 120 and 121, which are ranked RoR 1v1 and Team respectively.
