Local Files Not Showing up in Cartographer

[Zynara]

I have a bunch of downloaded maps, but when I go into the game cartographer, they're not showing up in "Local Files", that tab is completely blank. The ones that I've "subscribed" to on the Steam Workshop show up just fine in the "Community" Files.
The ones that I've downloaded, I extracted into (User. (myname), AppData, Beam Team Games, Stranded Deep, Data, Maps).
I am not using experimental. How do I fix this? My favorite maps are from Deez...and those are third party downloads, not direct from Steam.

I do indeed have that. Then I follow that path to > DATA > Maps. I unzip the maps that I downloaded into there. Each file has three "map" items inside them, just like it's supposed to. It's weird cause the files I get from "subscribing" to them in Steam work just fine, but NONE of the 3rd part files I download.

I have the maps there too. It's still not picking up in the cartographer

Have they been uncompressed? The map folder must be uncompressed.

Yes, They're unzipped. Just the normal folder with the three map items in each.

Wondering... you say you have "3 map files in here", correct?:

C;\Users\your screenname\appdata\local low\beanteam games\stranded deep\data\maps

It's supposed to be
C;\Users\your screenname\appdata\local low\beanteam games\stranded deep\data \maps\Map_LongLongStringofNumbersAndLetters, as in the zip file\ then the 3 map files in that.

Can you double-check you have "just folders" under \map\... and within each subfolder, would be the "3 files".

I really wish I could post images here, it'd make life so much easier. I could show what I'm looking at. But no, I have no ZIP's in the folder as I've unzipped everything. I have the maps folder, then inside that, a folder of each that I've downloaded and in each of those folders are three files.

[deez]

you can probably post the images in the map makers discord channel or you can also stream it and talk to somebody. you would need to get on a the same time though.
C:\Users\deezb\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data\Maps this is where mine are and im using the stable version.

Have to tried to verify game file ?

[fuzzybunnyslippers]

another (lame) suggestion.
Move (obviously, do not delete) all of your MAP_ folders from C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Beam Team Games\Stranded Deep\Data\Maps

to c:\Super_Safe_Backup_Folder_Whatever_that_Might_be

then, copy back in just ONE MAP_<etc> folder; and/or go get one of Deez' recent maps, so you know it's good / clean; and have just and only one MAP_<etc> subfolder in that local Maps\ location.

Go into SD / Cartographer... and hope.

I'm just wondering if perhaps you might have some kind of corrupt map, or .json file for a single map definition; and that one local map folder is just messing everything else from displaying.

Yes. I've verified all the files.

I'll go ahead and try that. It might take a while as I'm not feeling great right now. I may also try to unsubscribe from maps on Steam. Those at least I know I can easily get again.

You might want to move the islands to a temporary filder. Then move them in one or 2 at a time. I had a bad island give ne errors in cartographer before and this may help.
