Can't get my map to upload.

Postby brent_w » 19 May 2013, 06:42

It plays fine but every time I try to upload I get the "This folder doesn't contain valid map datas." error.

I've checked everything several times and it all looks fine to me.

I'm hoping somebody here can tell me what I'm missing.

I'm attaching all of my files so you can check them out.

It won't let me upload the scmap file, but I'd be happy to send it to someone if they need to check it out.

I've also got a couple preview images but I assume they're not important.

I had the same issue the last week. I posted a topic here. This could help you if you read it all ;)

Did you edit this map ? I mean,is there an earlier version already uploaded ? Or did you create it from scratch?

@ Capitan Miller:
Thanks, I saw that and actually read your whole thread before I posted this one but nothing in there seemed to help me.

@Prince__
This is actually a map I made for vanilla supcom.
I'm guessing they loaded the database from GPG net into FAF's map vault because there actually is an old non-functional version from when I tried to upload the map for FA a couple years ago without knowing the changes that needed to be made. That version of the map actually freezes when lauched in FA. I submitted a broken map report so hopefully someone deleted it.

Since I started playing FAF I wanted to make the map functional.

The only thing that's the same is the scmap file and the preview pictures.
Everything else is all new, redone to work in FA. All new lua files, all new markers.

It works perfectly on my machine. It just won't upload into the vault.

I noticed that this error occurs when / . , etc are in the mapname,...this is just the second time,so I could be most likely wrong. Did you try to upload this map without those characters? If not ,it's worth a try. Just use normal characters and backspace.
