What's the best way to make a variation of an existing map(such as removing all the metal on one side).

-Extract the map with 7zip

-Edit the map_metal_layout.lua with a text editor and remove all the spots with an X coord above or below a certain value depending on if you want to clear the left or the right side.

-Edit the mapinfo.lua with a new name and version

-Compress with 7zip, Upload to the now restored springfiles.con

Some of the older maps hide the config behind smd smt and smf files.

Then you will have to create the map_metal_layout from scratch. Use this widget to read metal spots on a map and print them to XY coords in infolog.

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/SpringRTS-Tools/blob/master/lua/Widgets/dbg_mex_to_infolog.lua

Other useful tools for metal layout creation are in the same folder https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/SpringRTS-Tools/tree/master/lua/Widgets

Springfiles has just moved servers and I observed broken things like search, consider making an issue if your account isn't approved in a timely matter.
