GameMaps 2.0 - Adding / Editing Maps & Mods.

Adding / Editing Content - NEW GameMaps 2.0

This guide will overview some new updates to the adding and editing of custom maps / mods. These new features and options are available in the new GameMaps 2.0 that is coming soon.

Choose a platform. (PC/Mobile/Console)

We wanted to give developers the flexibility to develop content for any device they want. Now when you add a new map or mod, you can select what platform the content is for.  We wanted to keep it generic to start, so you can currently select PC, Mobile and Console. (see image below)

Developers and Publishers

We changed the terms 'author' and 'uploader' to the new 'Developer' and 'Publishers' to help improve content distribution and accrediting content. It is important to use these fields accurately to prevent disputes. Please give proper credit to the developers and those involved in the creation of custom content. If you are uploading content you will already be credited as the publisher. (see image below)

New Game Modes Option

Game modes define the style of gameplay that the map is created for. Some modes are officially provided by the game itself while new game modes are created and/or invented by community developers. (see image below)

Featured Image

The details page for your content uses the featured image as the header backdrop. (see image below)

Additional Improvements
