Hi all, I have just created my first map, and uploaded it to SpringFiles, but cannot get Zero-K to use the map in multiplayer. I had a poke around the forums here and came across a similar issue on this thread: viewtopic.php?t=26578, but even after some days, and trying to use the "!map" command in ZK to force an update, my map is still not showing up on http://zero-k.info/ResourceList.aspx.
Any suggestions?
Link to my map on SpringFiles is below. And, I'm quite encouraged that it has already been downloaded 18 times. (Although that probably means there are 18 people out there who also can't use it in multiplayer ).

I'd really like to be able to play this multiplayer with my son.
Thanks!

Re: Can't get map to show up?
I tried your map out yesterday, it works. Not sure why it's not appearing on Springfiles API: http://api.springfiles.com/files/maps/?C=M;O=D
Maps should appear on this list as soon as they are uploaded, if not they will not appear on the ZK server or anywhere else.
I would suggest adding a new version number to your mapinfo (1.1 or whatever) and try uploading to SpringFiles again. If it still does not appear in the list I first posted then make a bug report on mantis https://springrts.com/mantis/bug_report_page.php and reference your map. Good luck.

Re: Can't get map to show up?
This seemed to work, thank you! (Although the version that is showing up now looks like it might be v1 not v1.1? Oh well, it works, that's the main thing).
However, when I change to it in Zero-K, it is still saying "Minimap Not Found". Any ideas why this might be and what to do to fix it? (As far as I am aware, I followed the instructions properly on building the minimap image). Any thoughts?

That's a chobby issue, as it cannot load minimaps from files. The minimaps you normally see are included with chobby.
