Once you have finished your map, you need to add a few entries to some text files to make your map appear in the list for playing. There are a couple of ways of doing this. Try them out, see what works best for you.

Save your temporary maps in the (default) Data/Designed folder.

Once you want to test the map from the skirmish/battle menu, copy the .m3d from the designed folder and paste it in the Data/Mission/Skirmish/ folder.
Rename it to the next skirmish ( eg. Skirmish11.m3d)

Go to Data/Missions/singlemiss.txt and there add +1 to the total amount on top (eg. 11 instead of 10). Add the name Skirmish11 at the bottom of the list.

Next file to change is Data/Missions/Text/SkirBatlnames.txt. This file will define the name that will show up in the skirmish/battle mode. Eg #Skirmish11_TXT My Test Map

 

And then one more file to change. Data/Missions/Mission.txt

At the bottom copy the one from Skirmish10 and paste it and change for skirmish 11.
Eg:

I used the picture of skirmish10, because I couldnt be bothered to make a preview as long as the map is in test stages. Only change this once the map is in the final stage, otherwise its a waste of time making a preview for it.

 

For creating a final map preview, there's a tool out created by [HWK]Garnier, which allows you to easily create a tile map for map preview. It can be found in our download section. Click here to get the Tile Generator. More information about this tool can be found on the MastersOfTheField Website.
