Hello! so i took a small break from diabotical because all the custom maps i made i couldn't play with my friends, i see that the mapping contest is done and that community maps are up and available. Is there a way i can play on my maps yet? or is it more like only community or dev approved maps get put on the community map list? can find much about custom maps anywhere online can someone send me a link or explain how it works?

I recommend these steps:

  • Move your maps from C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Diabotical\maps to %appdata%/Diabotical/maps (paste that in the windows explorer address bar to get there) or type /maps in the console in-game
  • Then in-game click the Content Creation menu on the top right, it looks like a folder with a plus, click Create New with the map id being the name you've saved your maps with, and with the map name being the name you want the map to be displayed as, select the modes which you want it to be available for
  • Then select the map, click the Edit button, you will be loaded into the map, type /bakesave in the console
  • Then in the Content Creation menu select the map and click publish for the map to be available publicly.
  • When you make a change to your map you will have to save it with the same file name as the mapid, and then select it in the Content Creation menu and click Publish.
  • To play it you create a lobby, select the mode, click the map image, then click the Community tab and select your map
