Deploy Working Map To Game button does'nt seem to work anymore ,
is it temp not working , or is it an error ?
works for me
What is the correct way they are supposed to function? Click the button in map editor, load the game, and click the button in game?
make sure the game is up on screen, and the map editor too
make sure the map is loaded into the map editor that u want
click "deploy working game to CW"
wait a sec
then click on "play custom game" in CW
you dont have to have the game open when you press deploy to game in the editor
I manage to uploade the map ,
but i first uploaded the map that didnt have the things that i wanted .
And then i changed the map and uplodaed it again ,
and it still worked .
What can i do so the right map i made comes to the download site .
When i uploaded the same map twice , and the last map is the right one ?
I might done something wrong when i saved the map the first time ,
but i did some changes , but still i got the first map i made =P

You may need to wait awhile, as it takes a half a minute or so for the CW main to respond!
maybe for you, works within about 5 seconds for me
Who does check the new maps before they get accessible for others to download ?
I guess all MODS do this , but there might be someone that have this as their main priority .
I'll understand if this info isnt given to us ,
that MOD would get a lot of PMs / mails =P
But there should be an place to ask whats up if your map isent accessible for others after an time ,
The fastes way to ask players if the map works , is :
Whats your score ( or something like that )
Maybe the uploade page should have an place to post your own score ,
as an prof of it possibel to finnish .
And if the score doesnt look right , then ask for pics to verify the score .
no, maps is all virgil's domain
although Virgil could delegate the map validating powers to a/the mod/mods to free up more of his time.
I think there should be some Mods doing this ,
because i have uploaded some maps for some days now ,
and nothing happends . ( I have uploaded the same maps twice so far )
I guess there are many maps uploaded every day and it will be more ,
so i think it's to much work for only 1 person to handel this ,
When there is so much else things to do =P
I'd really just like to find the time to write a more automated system and hand this over to others to approve. I've not made this investment since I have figured that the load would probably drop down to 1-5 maps per day rather than 20+.... Of course I have been telling myself this for some time now.
The new map traffic has slowed down some, but it is still a daily pain to keep up with it. I will try to come up with a basic system that I can hand over to others for approval....
As for you maps, can you give me the names of the ones that you have uploaded but have not seen posted yet?
I think there will be more uploaded maps in the future ,
as old and new players will use this more .
And both will learn and get ideas for new maps ,
so an auto thing might do it easyier for you .
The last maps i've made is called SPIFFENs ...... something .
called the maps by my name so it would be easy for everyone ,
even you =P
Maybe the custom maps should be auto uploaded untill you figure out another way to solve the new maps thats gets uploaded .
Find an way to make less work for your self , you already have way to much to do .
You cant do it all your self , use the help you have avalibel .
We dont want you to burn out , so nothing happends here .
I'm working on a system so that others can approve the uploads. Believe it or not, it isn't much work.... other than deciding what to do about the thumbnail images. Those images are made by the map editor... So currently, when someone submits a map I download it, load it in the editor, create a thumbnail, deploy to the game, test the game, then upload the map, text, and thumbnail to the database.
Creating the thumbnail isn't something I can do completely on the server, so I have to involve some client code to create that image. This means for anyone 'approving' an uploaded map I have to have a way for them to create the thumbnail. There are about 5 ways to solve this problem... which is one or the worst things that can happen :) It means I have to evaluate which is best before I can proceed. But, I'll settle on something since the maps keep coming....
Mayby the maps should be auto uploaded ,
and then deleted by you an the MODs as you see how the map workes .
Yoy have way to much to do , so you should find an way to make it easy for your self .
Then you would get more time to make the game as you want to ,
as long as the mods do as they should =P
