I have been making a map in Snowberry but I am having issues with maps saving (I have tried saving two different maps). The map that I am making sometimes will not save; for example I made a room, saved, then relaunched Celeste and it was not there. The backups are working and I have been able to load them to save my progress; but the map wont save to the original file. The map in my mods folder is just the .BIN file and I have pasted a folder with the .BIN file and the snowberrymeta.yaml file but that map will not show up in the select map tab in Snowberry. Is there a fix for this or is it just because its an early beta?

I am on 0.1.2 btw

#

so snowberry successfully takes a backup, but doesn't successfully save the map? that's odd

#

the metadata file in the backup zip file is not used by the game, you don't need to copy it

when you copy out the backed up bin file, does that map show up in the everest map selector?

#

I saved over the original file and that showed up

#

I copied the backup folder and that did not show up

#

did you copy a backup zip file, or did you extract it and then copy it?

#

actually wait, a map file inside a folder is not a valid mod and won't get loaded

slim relic Jul 12, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

it was unzipped

round vortex Jul 12, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

(needs to be in a Maps folder)

#

yeah, backups are not valid loadable mods - the maps inside them are fine, but they're not structured to be loaded directly, they're structured for snowberry to use

#

and snowberry's level selector currently only shows levels that everest has loaded, which is why those didn't show up

#

anyways, so the main issue is that snowberry sometimes doesn't save, hm

got it

#

if it manages to produce a backup, then there's nothing wrong with the map saving code itself

#

are you saving by clicking on the button, or through the keybind? since i think someone mentioned that the keybinds wouldn't always trigger under certain situations

slim relic Jul 12, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

I have been trying both

#

Before exiting my map, I have typically been playtesting then going back to the editor and pressing ctrl-s and pressing the save button, then quitting using the button

round vortex Jul 12, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

closing triggers a backup, which is probably why those always worked

slim relic Jul 12, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

That makes sense

round vortex Jul 12, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

alright, i'll chalk it up to keybind issues and investigate those separately

#

thanks for bringing this up!

slim relic Jul 12, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

Thank you!

round vortex Jul 12, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

oh, and also actually add a "restore backup" button, been meaning to do that for a long time

slim relic Jul 12, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

That would be nice I think, thanks again and good luck!
