Hey guys,
I am in some trouble here. So over the last weeks I worked on a TC but had some trouble getting the Maps of it to work so I decided to do some tests on a fresh version of the ADK. So made a backup and downloaded the a fresh ADK from the launcher. Since then I try to get the maps I create for very simple Mods or TC to show up but I somehow fail all the time. I guess I am doing something wrong here so I was wondering if someone here could help me. I know that some people built maps in Mods or TCs already and the maps seem to show up for them.
So here is what I tried so far:
- I cooked a very simple map with just a few things in it by clicking on the “Cook Map” button. So far so good. The map even showed up in the “Host/Local” window.
- Next thing I tried is cooking a mod by creating a custom GameData and GameMode without doing any major changes in it. I also added a map in which I removed the “ForceLoadMapName” and added my PrimalGameData. Thing is, when ever I start Ark, the map of this mod is not showing up. The mod is and when I start it, it just loads the island map. I did some further test and I can confirm that my GameData and GameMode is loaded correctly. Just not the map.
- I also tried to cook it as a TC, but in there it is the same. Mod is working, map is not showing up.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know what I am doing wrong? I am kinda stuck here. My scripts are working fine, but I can’t get my TestMap to show up. Would be a shame if I would need to stop here just because the map is not showing up. I even checked the cooked files and the map is included so wtf is going on?
Edit: Funny fact: My map is defiantely cooked. I can open it via console command “open mymap”. So why is it not showing up in the menu?
