Steam Workshop Map installation guide (client + server) - example map "Apako"


Recommended Posts

This is an outdated topic. We have implemented an easy to use mod install tool into our control panel which no longer requires this guide to be followed.

 

 

For this tutorial I will be installing a new map called Apako.
