1. "/showcustommaps" will list any and all maps you have saved.

2. I'm guessing you edited a pre-existing map, then saved your new version under a different name?
Each map typically comes with it's own ".cfg" file that shares the map's name, and contains custom map information like textures and mapmodels. When you saved the map under a new name, then loaded it up under that name, the game uses the defualt map settings instead, since your new map is missing the custom ".cfg" file. To fix this, you can make a copy of original map's ".cfg" file and rename it with your map's name.

For future refrence, "/newmap" will start up a blank map with the defualt map settings.

3. When you play a custom map online(or over a lan) the person with the map has to "/sendmap", and everyone else has to "/getmap". After this, all other edits will happen in real-time for both players.
Note, however, that you cannot send/get custom ".cfg" files, so anyone who gets such a map will still see the defualt map settings instead.(Same "bug" that you had in question #2)

Thanks! Very helpful. Unfortunately I couldn't find my 'foo' map, i.e. no separate file named foo so no obvious way to copy/paste the appropriate .cfg

I can find (for example) core_transfer.cfg / .ogz / .jpg so I know I'm not completely off...

Ya... you must be running Windows 7/Vista... it has 2 "Sauerbraten" folders, one from the game's installation, and another for custom content.
Try looking under: "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Sauerbraten" or something similar.

Windows tends to do that with a lot of programs. :/

On the Mac, but thanks much for the link; it does make sense that custom things would be saved outside of Sauerbraten itself.

I was able to copy/paste the regular file to foo.cfg -- looks much better!

Thanks again,

Scott
