How do you make maps public?

[T0XIIIC]

I recently created a map and exported it. How can I make it public?

[Okami-Shiranui]

Simple! Just upload it to a file sharing site like mediafire, and post the link wherever you want to make it public.

[T0XIIIC]

If I use mediafire do I have to sign up?

[Okami-Shiranui]

Yes. But it is free.

[T0XIIIC]

Any other program?

[T0XIIIC]

What link?

[Okami-Shiranui]

Please avoid double posting.

Once you sign up for Mediafire if that's what you want to use, click upload and find your exported map file.

There are lots of different sites to upload to. Just search around for "free cloud storage". Mediafire is the one I trust since I've never gotten a virus from it.

I'm new to this, have patience.
If you are using Windows, and I'm on Mediafire, which folder to look in...?

[Okami-Shiranui]

I'm patient with newer members. Just pointing out that you should try to avoid double posting. Not the end of the world if it happens though!

Ah. I would look in exports.

After exporting it the files will appear in your exports folder. The files include:

- .fhm the map file
- .fho the object groups
- .fhs the custom sky file, if you used one.
- .fhw the custom weather cycle, if you used one.

You need to gather all these files and put them in a new folder, turn the folder into a .zip file so it's easier to download/upload.

When the folder is compressed you have to upload it to a file sharing site such as www.mediafire.com or www.zippyshare.com.

When you're done, give the download link to your friends. After downloading they need to open the folder and place all the files into their exports folder. The portal to your map should appear in Cape of Distant Worlds.
