This is the scenario file (in Notepad++, but any text editor is fine) for Abhor, and in this guide I will increment the map from version 4, to version 5. Take very careful note: the older method of adding .v0005 to your files is not present here. This is because the new uploader will detect the version number and change the folder names and other relevant data to reflect that. If you try and add the suffixes yourself you may end up breaking the pathing when it’s uploaded.
If you downloaded your map from the vault (for some reason..) in order to update it, just remove the suffixes.
Moving on.
STEP one: Increment the map_version number by one.
You can see in the 1st image that the map_version was 4, now the map_version is 5.
And you’re done! You’ve correctly made a new map version and are ready to upload.
“Now biass, i'm not an idiot” I may hear you saying, and while that’s debatable you might question as to why this guide was even made. The answer is simple.
It’s not being done correctly.
Let’s quickly brush over a few things not to do while we’re here.
1. Don’t put V2 in the map’s name for a new version or better still, don’t rename the map at all.
Note the version number and what it changes/fixes in the map description. Uploading a new version properly will both A: push your map to the front of the list and B: hide the old version from the vault, saving a huge amount of time and hassle. While we’re on the topic of descriptions, do put your username in there. So if there is an issue we can get into contact with you faster.
2. Don't use special characters in your map names.
There is a number of special characters such as ? “ , $ and etc that need to be reserved for the code, don’t use them in your pathing. It may be possible to put them in the map name (When inbetween two quotation marks, for example “biass’s biceps”) but I highly recommend against it for now. If you had them in your file names and uploading led to errors, you most likely want to remove them to see if that fixes the problem. This will most likely leave an unavoidable broken map in the vault wherein the “Maps and mods” team will need to be contacted.
Here is a permanent link to the maps and mods discord server: https://discord.gg/n5mUSDh
Join, and explain you have either A: problems you need help with or B: a map that needs to be hidden, and someone will get on it.
Thus ends the guide. If you have questions ask away, but I recommend trying said discord first.
