Nope. Post the map's LUA though.

Did you edit both the LUA and LUA.BAK (located in same folder of LUA and has same name)?
Once I made a map and nothing changed until I edited the .BAK as well.
When you say ship a map do you mean set up for download?

BAK files, as far as I know, do absolutely nothing, as they aren't lua files but backup files. BUT, if you wanted to make sure, go into your lua file for your level, press ctrl+alt, then copy, and go into the bak and delete that and paste your maps lua over it. make sure you don't delete the wrong file, though.Nedarb7 wrote:Did you edit both the LUA and LUA.BAK (located in same folder of LUA and has same name)?

Ok I will re-release my beta tomorrow morning. However, is the correct way to ship a map compressing the MAP in my Addon folder?

You don't need to touch the *.bak files. These are there just in case you screw your LUA up to the point where it would be best to start from default, in which case you could just copy the contents of the *.bak file into your actual LUA to start over.

It works! This version is ten times better then the older one too.
What was the problem?
Also is the localize tool working now? Because I don't
remember the werewolf being localized.

How would it fix anything if it doesn't even get munged? The .bak extension is just the identifier given by Pandemic to designate backup files. You could even delete these files and it would make no difference.Zapattack1234 wrote:Well I just changed the BAK. I guess it does something after all...
