Map name
« on: November 21, 2016, 01:01:39 am »
Hi I was wondering if you can change the map name? I'm in the middle of making a map but the name no longer fits it. I was wondering if you can change the name without messing it up?
Thanks.~

Haven't worked with maps in a long time, but maybe make a backup of the map and put it somewhere else on your PC and try to rename it, so if it messes up, there's a backup. I'm not too sure on this one

Yeah I was thinking about doing that but I'm really scared because I've put so much effort into this map and I really don't want to lose it. I also don't have the time to lose it... lol.

You could try just saving it as a completely new map/file in the map-maker. I think this might just create a copy of it through another name, though I'm not entirely sure.
On a temporary leave. Please contact other members of staff if you need assistance.

I believe doing what Kynvuu said should work and once you feel confident that everything saved in the new copy, you can delete the one with the old name.

Yeah I thought that too. Though since your not sure I'll wait and see what others think. I cannot risk messing this map up. ;u;

Thank you for the help though.~

I'd do as Kynvuu has suggested. Change both names of your map in Map Maker, the name and display name. This will save an exact copy of your map but under a different name and you will be able to access it in Map Maker later on. If you'd like, you can still make a backup copy of the map with it's original name first and then change the names, that way you still have a backup if something goes wrong (which it shouldn't but FeralHeart can be a fluffbutt sometimes).

I'll try this and make a backup before I do! I hope this works ^^
