Ok, so I made a map. I saved it and go into it just fine ingame. I then wanted to share the map with my friend, let her get on the map. I watched youtube videos and such on how to do it, I followed them completely. Told my friend how exactly how to do it. We even screen shared on skype, I looked at what she did and she did everything correctly just like I told her how. Yet, she can not see the portal to my map in Cape of Distant Worlds. Now I am wondering if I messed something up in the process. I made the map, saved it, exported it all. It ended up as a file on my computer in the correct folder, which I figured would happen. I then followed a video and zipped the file up. Uploaded it onto Mediafire, gave the link to my friend to download. I understand the files need to be like .fhm and stuff like that. But what I have noticed, by even exporting and all the the files seem to be saved as .cfg
Now I am not sure if that is correct or should not have happened. And to me, I feel the reason behind the fact my friend can't access my map is cause the file type is not correct. So, I am wondering if forgot to do something or did something wrong. And I am hoping someone could help me, or correct me on the issue.
On a side note, what is the difference between a portal and a gate? Cause I only made a portal, but not sure if a gate is needed or not.
