You use the "notepad" text editor to create a mod.lua file. You can also use notepad++ to create LUA files: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Create a folder with your map name like so "[your map name]_1" In that folder:

• maps folder
  
  • a map name folder that contains:
    
    • heightmap
      
    • map.lua
• mod.lua
  
• workshop_preview.jpg

A sample mod.lua file:

function data()
  return {
 	info =	{
		tags = { "map",  },
		
		
		minorVersion = 0,
		severityAdd = "NONE",
		severityRemove = "WARNING", 
		name = _("map name"),
		description = _("description of map"),
        authors =
		{
			{
				name = 'your name',
				role = 'CREATOR',
				text = 'map name',
			}
		}
	}
 }
end

If you have any subscribed mods, you can open them up, and see how they are assembled. You can use their "mod.lua" as a guide (copy it, and change the relevant data).
If you have a subscribed Map mod, even better.

Ah yes, the number folders, ... grrr. An easy way to get the number is to right click on the mod in the Steam Workshop, select "Copy Page URL" and paste it into the notepad, for example:
"... sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=860882721 "

id= folder number

Yes, it needs that picture as the mod's image on the Workshop. A screenshot from the game (reduced size) is sufficient. You can put text into the image and/or make a composite of various screenshots with text, if you want it to look really good. Be careful though, once that image is uploaded it can not be changed unless you delete the mod and re-upload it.

Well i ve made a few screenshot with F12 of the map...guess i need to go find them in steaam multiple files and put them in the main file of the map? damn steam make it long just to put a map lol

[Denismartelhebert]

It worked! I just change the names of my screenshots to workshop_preview.jpg...and it did work! lol

I set the map on public...it should be there the name is Banjul_roman_colonies

I don t know if it appear on the workshop but it should.
