2 noob questions for custom maps + Gulag map

[anon anon]

** Anyone wondering it's under "standard" not "duel" tab in game room.

1: Can I view the light / ambient situation on the  terrain without rendering a preview map?

2:  Why am I not able to find my map in the game room?

I believe to have followed all the steps - the map looks fine in framework view and when checking the map it just says you need Yuris Revenge, I changed the file to .map and it is located in the "custom" folder. Where did I go wrong lol?

I don't know about the first question, but I'm guessing you've found your map in-game?

You should add instructions like; "You need starting units, otherwise you won't be able to deploy your mcv!"

Map update v03, everything work fine now, thank you for the heads up 

Still not happy with the lighting though. I would like the map to be night dark dark and I can't seem to find the illuminating light posts again.

by the way if you know anything about  ini. editing, you can make the lightposts any color/brightness/size etc. pretty easy via 'insert ini file' function in fa2.
