[Workshop] Publishing Maps

Prerequisites

Please read the guide on how to use the Stranded Deep Workshop Tool here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1869733832

Publishing

1. Create a new folder with any name and copy your map folder to it. The file structure should be like so:

NewMapFolder (folder)
    > Preview.jpg
    > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe (folder)
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_EDITOR.map
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_HEIGHT.map
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_OBJECTS.map

2. Use the Stranded Deep Workshop Tool to upload your new assets.

Example json:

{
	"Title": "New Map",
	"Description": "My new map description",
	"ChangeNote": "Version 1.0",
	"PreviewFile": "C:\\NewMapFolder\\Preview.jpg",
	"ContentPath": "C:\\NewMapFolder",
	"PublishedFileId": 0,
	"Tags": 
	[
		"Maps"
	]
}

Important! All map assets need to be published with the ‘Maps’ tag!

Publishing Multiple Maps

It is possible to publish multiple maps as part of one item. This could be useful if you want to create a map 'pack' for players to download.

The file structure should be like so:

NewMapPackFolder (folder)
    > Preview.jpg
    > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe (folder)
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_EDITOR.map
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_HEIGHT.map
         > MAP_ytd3-33e23-3e2e-2342we-safdsfe_OBJECTS.map
    > MAP_sdaj-lknr-eifv-9svo-iefn (folder)
         > MAP_sdaj-lknr-eifv-9svo-iefn_EDITOR.map
         > MAP_sdaj-lknr-eifv-9svo-iefn_HEIGHT.map
         > MAP_sdaj-lknr-eifv-9svo-iefn_OBJECTS.map
    > MAP_weqw-elkm-qwem-wots (folder)
         > MAP_weqw-elkm-qwem-wots_EDITOR.map
         > MAP_weqw-elkm-qwem-wots_HEIGHT.map
         > MAP_weqw-elkm-qwem-wots_OBJECTS.map
    [etc...]

yerdeadmeat yes beamteam please make it like that i dont understand a single thing about this guide

[YerDeadMeat]

I work in IT and I couldn't even figure out where these map files are. I created a great map thinking I'd be carried around on the shoulders of the community, but I can't upload it. Don't know where it is. I agree with the post that we should be able to right click a map in Cartographer and hit publish to workshop. C'mon guys, please?

This is just about as useless as teaching a 5 year old how to launch a rocket to space, sorry. There's little to no details on how to upload stuff. Update this guide or replace it.

[I'm Staying Stranded!]

I have some fun maps to upload...

...when I can right-click a 'Map' in 'Cartographer' and hit 'Publish to Workshop' prompt...!?!

Sorry guys, when we can do it 'in-game' with a couple of clicks... we will be Drowning in Awesome Custom Islands. I am a caveman.

- It would be nice to have a simple video tutorial of how the "Map / Assets" are complied & uploaded to the Workshop. It really makes a world of difference when you see it done visually, since many people are visual learners like myself & makes more sense. Thanks again for starting with this new workshop option now though & hope you would consider the videos tutorials that I'm sure many would agree & welcome. Keep up the fine work! :)

I want to upload my single island map. What it the content path in the json file? this guide did't explain this. (Can't handle this kind of rocket science)

[The Everything Guy]
