it is doable with dmd, but not colonial space
there is no such option.
such steam achievement unobtainable
please fix this and give direction what to click to get to area, did several maps in colonial space

If you leave a colonial space map, you are greeted with a screen, at the bottom of which is a rating widget.  You must first have entered the map.

You have to download and play a map, then once you exit back to the CS screen, go back into the map page and there will be a thing to rate with.

And please do not rate 0 because you can't beat the map :)

when I leave a map, I get the same screen as clicking details, there is no rate this map anywhere
I tried doing map #1 and even after beating it, I only get the usual submit score, but No Rating anywhere.
I also won't rate a user created map as zero just because I can't do it, especially if there are scores with acceptable times available.
This isn't any help yet,
Dear Virgil, can you check on this feature well (to be able to rate colonial space maps there is a steam achievement for this that becomes unobtainable, but the DMD map rating system works)?

Yes, on the details screen, on a map you've beat, BELOW the restart mission button. Way down there. All the way on the bottom of the screen.

If you still can't find it, then it's a bug.

Notice right under the "Play" and "Return" buttons?

You must first play the map, or at least create a save file (Ctrl-C) in the map before the game will let you rate it.

ok, at this point it finally appeared, but only after actually finishing a map completely and I rated it 10 and got the steam achievement, thanks, the feature actually works, but not sure about map that aren't completed.

Karsten75

If the map is not fully completed, the code looks for a save file. If you have auto-save turned off, then there won't be a save.


Start the map, hit Ctrl-C for quicksave, and then Menu -> Leave World and you should be able to see the ratings buttons.

ok, now I can see it, I have auto save on since it is a helpful feature,
It appears at the bottom of the details screen with any save file, good the rating feature is working as it should, I'll add a new forum post if any future update breaks this feature.
