    Hi, I have recently created a map using utah as a starting point, I'm not sure how to change the name on the files so that it comes up in the map list different to "Utah". I have followed the pinned tutorials and also tried a youtube/google search but to no avail as they all seem to be outdated.

    I have tried changing "utah" to "GoatsUtah" in all the '.json' files, including material files, using winrar and notepad++, that sucessfully changes the name to "name;title;GoatsUtah", but all the terrain oblects and skybox are missing/no material.

    If anyone could help I would be so very grateful!

    Be sure to use slashes when mass renaming the original map in notepad++.
    If you replaced all utah with goatsutah, you lost paths to files that have utah in their names (utah_rocks_a_d.dds for example)

    Replace all /utah/ with /goatsutah/

    Oh, so THAT is what happened to all the decal road textures on my very early WIP map, that's useful info, thanks even though it's not me who asked
