To Upload A New Map Version!

[IceDreamer]

Why is this so hard to come by? I just had to fix a bunch of maps where this wasn't working properly.

'X' is your version number

Step 1: Open FOLDERNAME
Step 2: Go to MAPNAME_scenario.lua
Step 3: Change the following...

Code: Select all

map = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME.scmap',
save = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME_save.lua',
script = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME_script.lua',

To...

Code: Select all

map = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME.scmap',
map_version = X,
save = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME_save.lua',
script = '/maps/FOLDERNAME/MAPNAME_script.lua',

If anyone knows that I've missed something, shout, but from my tests this should give a foolproof updated map with the same name as previously.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE STICKY THIS!

If you were using custom textures, you have to show editor path to textures in newly renamed folder as well, otherwise you will end up with black screen.

Just need change the map_version variable but with '000X', not 'X' only for a new version.

Exemple with v4

Code: Select all

map_version = 0004, //please follow the format with 4 digits
save = '/maps/FOLDERNAME.v'.map_version.'/MAPNAME_save.lua',
map = '/maps/FOLDERNAME.v'.map_version.'/MAPNAME.scmap',
script = '/maps/FOLDERNAME.v'.map_version.'/MAPNAME_script.lua',
