Chrono Vortex Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I'm really surprised this hasn't been mentioned in some official post somewhere, because it seems kinda important and nobody seems to know how to do it. All you need to do it open your map in notepad, go to Edit -> Find and search for [Basic]. Then, under [Basic], add Author=Your Name Here. You may want to download and use notepad++ for this. Here's an example. Edited September 16, 2017 by Chrono Vortex 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrono Vortex Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 @rishain You probably stuck it in the wrong place. Make sure to add the Author= directly after the right bracket in [Basic], like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrono Vortex Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 @rishain Maybe it's something to do with the client. Does the example map display the author for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampastring Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) The client indeed reads the author from [Basic] Author=. Also, you should use a text editor that supports Unix-style line endings, like Notepad++ or Wordpad.

You can go in the INI editing tab found under EDIT Button Open the Editor Scroll down to the Basic Section In the Section Content Keys Click the Add Button In Create Key Prompt Add the Info you need after you add Author= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
