World Builder problems

WarbossGogangash · May 19

Hello. I have a big issue that I'd love to get solved, because playing my custom maps ingame would be really fun, and that was one of the main reasons I even bought the game.
The problem is: Whenever I create a map the map itself won't show up between the other maps, but it will show up on the workshop menu and I can upload it and even subscirbe to it, it still doesn't changes the fact that it won't show up on the games map selection. Also I did everything step by step as this guide shows: http://modding.dawnofwar.com/multiplayer-scenario-tutorial
so I don't know what the problem is. Also before and after I upload my map it doesn't have any size, its 0, while other workshop maps that actually work and show up they do.
If you guys could help me I would really appriciate it, cos this thing makes me really mad, that I can't solve this out.

Btw I'm talking about DOW III if it wasn't obvious.

Better than nothing I guess.

Hi @WarbossGogangash - I wasn't tagged on this thread so I didn't see it. I'm not very knowledgeable on Custom Maps, so I don't think I'd be able to help you.

The only thing I can suggest is making sure the player regions have been set, and have HQs assigned. I'm not sure how to do this, however.

I did both. Btw no problems, long time no talk. At the beginning I wouldn't think this game would fall so flat.

Sorry, can't think of anything else then. Not sure what other mappers are still active (might be worth browsing the Workshop for active commenters).

@Socite might be able to help you, but the tools are a broken right now.

Thank you in advance! Btw I can't even generate a map anymore, which is the first step in world editing. https://imgur.com/a/OGg4YRj This is what I get before it crashes, but if that is what you mean by the tools are broken, than lets hope the developers fix it as soon as possible.

Yeah, the capability to generate maps/mods is broken right now due to filepath changes on Relic's end. Hopefully they will fix.

I believe the crashing problem was the same as mine, and similarly I couldn't open any other maps in the World Builder. If I remember later today I'll check my computer to see what my errors were, though I think I put them on another thread about the tools not working a few days ago. As for the issue with uploading, about a month or so back I was going to test my WIP map in the game night, but the most up to date version had this same issue - no size and didn't show up in the maps list in the lobby. The layout hadn't changed so thankfully I could still play test it, but since I've not been very active recently I never got around to seeing if I could fix it. Perhaps resaving the map could work? Let's keep an eye on the thread r_benb linked and when (hopefully) the world builder and mod builder are fixed we can look into solutions. I've made very little progress, but I'm determined to make more maps despite the declining player base!

I'd love to make alot of maps as well. But if I can't even playtest it what's the point?

Indeed.

My main interest is remaking older maps, but I have a few ideas for my own map designs. I might revisit my current ones as well at some point, as they're not particularly amazing. Since around November I've been on-and-off doing gradual work on a 4v4 map. It's a shame 4v4 usually crashes with 8 actual players.

I remade like the same ork snowy fortress map like 4 times at least, because I tried to make it work, and I thought I fucked up something and that's why it won't let me playtest it and that I have to make an enterly new one. Than I made just testmaps to see if they gonna show up but none did. Only on the workshop tab.
