I have been making a modded map for quite some hours now and wanted to test the terrain quickly.

I zipped the file up and put it into my mod folder, however I cant choose the map on the in game menu, it doesnt show up?

I have checked the modDesc XML file to make sure the names are correct and from what I can see I believe they are...? any help appreciated!

My folder is called the following 'sampleModMap'.

Please see below what is in the modDesc XML file.

Check to see if you have it zipped right, and by the way, you don't have to zip it to play it in game, and I keep all my working maps, unzipped, in my mods folder. Another thing that will cause this problem is having both the zipped, and unzipped copy in the mods folder at the same time.
