can't find Replay in Vault after updating Map

Postby Egon » 14 Oct 2015, 04:11

Hi there, usually after the first update for my maps, i cant seem to find any Replays in the Vault. This is a very old issue for me and i never got around it. I badly need those replays to refine my maps any further. Any help would be appreciated, big thx in advance

right now its not possible to find replays by map if the map was updated...

you're best chance is to do very descriptive post about your map here in Mapping section, screenshots, description, asking for testing and people will share their thoughs here, at least those few who decide to help you.

hi speed2, thanks for reply. I might just do that in addition but still i need those replays to draw my own conclusions.
1. Whats the "best Practice" for my Case where i update the map alot?
2. I dont want to clutter the mapvault, how to delete my old maps from vault?
3. I dont find any of this in the wiki or FAQ, this info would safed alot time

you cant delete maps from vault, only Sheeo can. You can update your map and then only the latest version will be shown. But then as you find out you cant search replays by map name. This is known issue but fixing map vault isnt a priority right now for those who could do that.

Hey Egon,

It's a known problem with the replay vault that it only searches for relpays from a single version of the map found. We're resolving this soon with an upcoming update to the server.

That sounds great. One should not underestimate the power of good and balanced maps. I feel that supcom especially lacks either quality maps or better map-browsing
The huge difference in map popularity somewhat gives a hint. So more power to the mapper/modder and it gets self propelling.
While u are at it:
1. Maps seem to lose download counter/comments/ratings when updated. This makes searching for popular maps almost impossible for the casual supcom player
2. An additional Filter for "Num. of downloads last 30 days " would help here too.
3. it would be great if one could right-click maps in the vault and choose to sth. like "display all replays for that map"
4. uploader should have the power to delete his maps.

lastly i want to thank u guys for fast an quality response. I will show my Appreciation through Patreon these days (in addition to my quality maps iam going to post^^)
