I opened map-tag.xdb with notepad and edited it, but I must have edited the wrong thing because it still did not work. Here is the original file. How do I need to change it?

Someone may have already asked this question, but I have no time to read the whole topic (I'm sorry for this), so I ask: what do I have to make so that the MP map I make appears in the list of the other MP maps in the game, i.e. become "choosable". I have to check numerous things about the passability, the balance of the starting positions, the monsters and so on and I simply can't do it becouse of this. I've already set the "defeat all" objective, all the curently existing 4 towns (they'll be when it's ready) belong to some player, only the underground level is still completely empty and (becouse of this) not connected with the surface (but this just SHOULDN'T be the problem, becouse it'll be extremely stupid). What else am I supposed to do? Some ritual?

Take a look here. The topic is only five posts (won't take long to read them) and might answer your question.

Thanks, but I have already red this topic and the answer is not there. The heroes, which should be available are "checked" already, there are 4 "active" players, the objective is set (as mentioned above), yet the map still refuses to appear among the others. In fact I've checked absolutely everything (or at least I think so) that may cause whatever kind of trouble and "fixed" it. No result.
By the way, the map I'm talking about is XL (the largest possible, I don't remmember the name the editor uses for this size). Could it be some bug with this specific size, i.e. has anyone experienced something similar?

In the game where you chose the maps that size shows up as ‘too big for you’ (no joke... from my side at least.)

As for the map not showing up, I don’t really know what to tell you. Maybe there is some bug in the editor because I myself ran into a little problem as well. There is a topic here from Final Boss about his map. Some people reacted to that saying that it was a good map, or pointed out some mistake in the map, so I know that some people see the map and can play it. But try as I might, I can’t get it to show up. I downloaded 5 fan maps until now. Four of them immediately showed up so I know for a fact that I know how to do the DL and putting them in the right place and all that, yet for some reason that one map, that others can play, doesn’t show up with me.

As for it being a bug for that size, I don’t think so. This because one of the test maps I made was a ‘too big for you’ map, and it showed up without a problem.

So, at the moment I’m guessing the problem is not as much with the size of the map, but with they system that checks if a map is playable. Once that decides it’s not, the map doesn’t show up. Though that still leaves the question how come a map CAN show up on one computer and NOT on another.

Not really much help, I know.

In fact this information is quite useful (at least now I know that I'm not the only one with such problems ), despite the fact that I still can't force this thing to appear. So thanks once again.
