    How’s it going,

    I used to make maps for the spintires/mudrunner community. Once beam finally received MP I started messing with editing the stock maps. But my confusion starts when actually trying to save my creation. I hit “save as” and select my folder, wait for it to save. Once it’s saved I open up my folder that I selected to save into and I don’t see anything. Can someone give me a hand on my what I’m doing wrong? I would also like to know how to make my map no conflict with the stock map because I would like to use my edited map in MP.

    Thanks in advance. ;)

    I don't think Save As even does anything, it never worked for me. The proper way of doing this is copying the entire map you want to edit, renaming everything to avoid conflicts, and working on the copy, this way you can just click Save normally and it would save the copy and not change the original level.

    I was wondering if it actually did anything.

    As of now anything I do will only be made for me and few people on a unlisted server. So if I take a East Coast map that someone else has already edited it shouldn’t conflict with the stock map? As of now I wouldn’t know what files to change if I wanted to start from scratch.

    It won't conflict as long as it's made properly, and you are never sure if it is if it's made by some random person. And you would have to change/rename ALL the files. Search for a YouTube tutorial for it, make sure to find the most recent one.
