EDIT: Apparently, certain map names won't work with the game. Just keep renaming your maps until they show up, it works!

For example, the game won't let me make any maps with the word "test" in it. But if I rename it to something like "q", it works!

--------------------------------------

I'm trying to convert some maps I made in a private mod of mine from B23 to B24. I've tried everything suggested on this forum. I've gone into all the .inis and added LZ areas, but it didn't work. I even tried going into the games built-in area editor and adding all the areas in that, but it doesn't work either. I've added all the P1ResidentBrain crap, but nothing works. I've tried directly copying an existing scenes .ini and putting it into my mod and changing the SLITerrain to the terrains my scenes use, but it doesn't work. I have even tried making my own skirmish activity to make them show up when the skirmish activity is selected. The skirmish activity works fine, but the maps still don't show up.

I've looked at the Forerunner map in the Map Releases area of the forum and downloaded it to see how he converted his map to B24. I was expecting a bunch of special .lua's and a skirmish activity, but all that was in it was an Index.ini and a Scenes.ini. I tested it, and it works fine in B24. So I tried using the .ini in my mod and changed the terrain, and nothing else, to see if it would work. No dice.

The new game modes are cool and all, but this new system is abysmal. Not only is it hard to find a map on the planet, if MP3 ever gets converted, it will be even harder with all the clutter. Eventually there will not be any more room left on the planet for more maps (not literally), and people will have to move their maps into space. The old system was much better than this. You just opened a drop-down menu and scrolled through a list of map names until you found the one you wanted. With this one, you have to move your mouse over a bunch of yellow orbs scattered around your screen to see which map is which until you find the one you want.

This is a list of all the .ini code I have added to my maps in an attempt to get maps to work :

Is there anything I am missing? Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, because my maps fail to show up.

What about the 'LocationOnPlanet'? Have you given your map coordinates where it should show on the world screen?
Also try to add a 'Description'. Perhaps it needs one too. I dunno. Worth to try.

They have those already.

Also, how did you get yours to work Nonsequitorian?

Care to elaborate? I understood your first sentence, but the second one didn't make any sense at all.

WTF, I just tested something... I tried putting the Scenes.ini from the Forerunner.rte into my .rte and I told my index to include it, and it worked. Then I changed the name of the map from Forerunner to Test Level (the name of one of my maps), and then it stopped working. So I changed it from Test Level to Q, and it started working! Then I changed it from Q to TestLevel and it stopped working again. WTF!?!?!?

Oh. Well, I just found out that certain map names won't work. I renamed all my maps and now they work! You should try renaming yours until it works.

Also, you don't seem to need to have to have a description.
