Actually I hope we are not misunderstanding each other, but you have to integrate the description and upload it again please.

[WartyX]

Apex I don't know if you know this, but there is a very small limit on the size of map descriptions. This is so that you add string numbers (eg $49327646) rather than the full description, which links to the full description in localised string tables. Perhaps we should designate each map a string number and ask our mappers to write that instead of the description, and then include the descriptions they write on their threads in the Eastern Front string table.

[Porta]

lol, are you taling about the map description in the game Lobby?

TBH i have been able to figure out how to include that in the map, as the the section in the worldbiulder only lets you put in about 10 words, any one know how to do this?

What i provided above was neber meant to go in the actual map, just a little background about the battle

[WartyX]

Like I just said mate, just leave it blank for now, and post your proposed description on this thread. You will have to put a certain code in that box later on, but first we need to decide what that is. We will do the rest.

[Porta]

OK Wartyx, i'll leave it blank for now

BTW....from your use of the word mate i suspect your Australian, if so from where abouts are you, im in melbourne.

[WartyX]

No I am British

It's not often I meet Australians on the internet, how's things down there?

[vengefulnoob]

Map looks good, like the description!

Oh and wartyx, south isn't necessarily down, it's just the way maps have been drawn: ("what's up, south?" map)

[WartyX]

But 'up on top' doesnt sound quite as catchy as 'down under' 

[vengefulnoob]

So very very true...

And I thought some of the soviet barrage was effective: they raised the katyusha racks to hit the lines behind

[Porta]

we are all good down under thanks

[WartyX]

Porta, please change your Map Name to $18010107 and your Map Description to $18010108 and also post a menu description of the map around 50-100 words long on this thread.

[Porta]

OK mate, will do.

Just let me clarify as im not a coder or anything.

1. You want me to open the worldiulder

2. In the Scenarios Properties Tab -  change the map description to $18010108

3. The Save as: Map Name to $18010107

is correct?

So i will have to rename all the TAGR files aswell then.

I have  version of the the map, here, without above changes. 6p Seelow Heights.sga

http://files.filefront.com/6p+Seelow+Heightssga/;13534759;/fileinfo.html

I will update the map description aswell.

[WartyX]

Sorry, maybe I was too unclear.

You got steps 1 and 2 spot on. However, rather than saving the map as $18010107, you must change the Map Name which is in the same window as Step 2. Then save the map as 6p_Seelow_Heights

[Porta]

ahhh, ok, nps, i'll have the versions up ASAP

[Porta]

Ok heres the final version

Map description

Oberstabsgefreiter  Porta could hear the stallin organs screaming overhead, Sven cowered in their fox hole, mumbling incoherently, although he’d lived through many Katyusha rocket strikes before, he doubted he would live after this one.
It seemed Ivan had so much artillery, that the air was alive with rounds, and there was nowhere else left to retreat too. This was the Seelow Heights, this was the Wehrmacht last stand, and Porta was going to take as many reds with him as possible.
