Custom Map shows up in the levels but there's nothing in game when I load.

I created an offroad grid map and I'd like to upload it. But when I load the level it's just an open space and my vehicle is sitting on a hard surface but there's no ground. There is a small grid square off in the distance but nothing else. I copied everything from GridMap and renamed everything to mine because GridMap is where I created it on.

I suck at explaining so bare with me. If you need a better explanation I can do my best.

 

You use the wiki

 

Is there a section I'm not seeing? Because I can't find anything that shows what is needed to upload it. I see the how to upload which isn't what I need.

Nothing explains what files need to be labeled as what or anything like that. Again, Unless I just can't find it.

My map shows up in the levels, but doesn't have anything in it. Just an open space and a small square of terrain. This is where I can't find any explanations on and I realize now the confusion on my questions compared to my title. I shall change that.

 

Go and look at other modded maps and check how what they have done and try to do it for your map.

 

Yeah I've been doing just that. As far as I can tell everything is set up just fine. I shouldn't have to do too much though, being I just had to copy the original Gridmap files and rename them all. Unless there's more to it that isn't being said or I'm just missing it. I've followed the tutorials I've found that relate to uploading in game made maps.

My map shows up in the levels as my map with my name and my picture I've put. Just when I spawn it loads the original gridmap without any terrain textures. Just open air.

and what's the point of having a help section if all I get is people telling me to figure it out on my own. Telling me to compare maps doesn't really say much when things are going to be different. File names are different. Even the coding in the files is going to be different. And the wiki is limited. It has what a person needs for the most part, but when it comes to using the in game editor, and how to get the map copied over from Gridmap to mine without losing any of the custom terrain.

I don't mean to sound rude, but it's hard to get your tone of voice out over text.

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. I'VE FINALLY GOT IT FIGURED OUT. I ENDED UP ASKING THE DEVS.

 

@Squatch32560 Sorry if I came across as rude. I didn't mean for it to come across like that. Was just trying to help even though i have some minimal knowledge of map making.

But just so that anyone checking in the future will know, what was the issue that you fixed?

 

I had made my map in game with the map editor. I didn't do any file changing until after I had already made most of the map. So what I had to do was go to Documents/BeamNG/Levels and copied the folder for the original GridMap since that's what I created my map on. I then pasted it into an empty folder on my desktop. From there I used notepad++ to change the file names from GridMap to OffroadGridMap and I gotta say, if you miss one, it won't work and that's what I think happened, I missed one file name and it caused everything to not work.

Most of what I did I had gotten from an already made tutorial, but it I didn't do it in the same order as it showed, which is where I was extremely confused.

If I can figure everything out and make it all work again without problems, I'll make a tutorial for how I did it.
