Map already exists in the vault?!

Postby Combo » 31 Mar 2013, 20:38

Could someone please explain how the map vault validates whether a map already exists in the database?

I had a map called "combokingofthehill" which didn't work because the map vault wasn't uploading the custom textures. Now that this is fixed I tried to reupload it but it says it already exists in the database, fine. So I tried to rename it, many times, and still no go.

Eventually I changed the name completely to "comboskingofthehillv1" and it still didn't work. I then opened the _scenario.lua file and changed the "map_version=x," to 2,3,4 even 20 and still it won't work. I also changed the "name = 'Combo\'s King of the Hill v1.0'," and still I get the same message that this map already exists in the database.

Maddening. Please help, thanks.

SOLVED. Thanks for the help in aeolus.

Guys, if you have this problem check that your map name inside the _scenario.lua file does not have any special characters. In my case I had to change it from Combo's to Combos and it started working.
