Hey to the modders and mappers, i am in the middle of creating my own half life:alyx maps, when i start the game and look in addons, my workshop addon is there but my map doesnt seem to be there, but when i run the map through hammer compile it starts without a problem, where is my map??

There is your saved VMap (where you have build in Hammer)
.. \steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\content\hlvr_addons\test_for_shockcou\maps\YOUR_MAP.vmap

How to activate and play your Addon

But you have not to subscribe your own Map. When you compile your Map you should see it Ingame under Addons. The backed Files are here then

... \steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr_addons\YOURMAPFOLDER\

When you want to Upload your Map to the Workshop

Hm, something you forgot then, but ..

when you start the Tools a Window opens where you can select your Addon.

On the left Side below you can edit your Addoninfo (you can also Rightclick on your Addon above and select Edit Addon Info. There is a Line "Playable Maps". Press the + and write in your Name what your Addon is called.

Then select your Map and open Hammer and compile /bake your Map again (to be safe) . Then give it a try Ingame. Im sure this fix your Issue (if yes, pls give a Response)

If you have multiple Maps (if you create a Story as Example with more Maps) than add this Maps under Extensions. Thats it ;)
