adding maps to zero-k.info/Maps ?

Post by knorke »

How can you add new maps to http://zero-k.info/Maps ?

<[RoX]knorke> how long does it take for new maps to show up on http://zero-k.info/Maps ?
<sprang> I think going to springie and saying !map mapname does that

But autohost says "can not find such map"

If the map is not on http://zero-k.info/Maps it is also not possible to make a thread about it on the zero-k map forum?

I think you just need to upload it to springfiles.

The map is registered by ZKL - it detects chanes in maps folders and publishes it to plasma server.

But by default it only lists downloadable maps (those that are also on springfiles/mirror systems). So make sure you also upload it to SF.

It was on springfiles all along:
http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/downcount

So I just have to log in with zerok lobby once? That is the only way?

That did not work.
Installed zkl and went on a zerok autohost,
!map downcount
results in "can not find such map" just as with springlobby.

Then copied the map into the My Documents\My Games\Spring\maps folder that zkl creates, made no difference.

It is registered now.
I think it is because maackey & Skuzzi somehow managed to play a game on it?

Still interessted in how the process works.
Also Forb seems to have same problem: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26509

Now on the autohosts there also seems to be the old, bugged version named just "DownCount"
The new version is called "DownCount_v1"
Can the old version somehow be deleted from AHs, so that when doing !map downcount the correct one comes up?
