endless map file names on servers.

I found out a while ago that apparently i have to upload my maps under new names every single time when i have a newer version of a map so it doesn't conflict with the previous files already uploaded. Why don't you just delete the old useless ones in the process of uploading? I have had to fix my map so many times after finding bugs that i dont even know what to upload the name as anymore.

Speaking of which, can you remove the thread for Target Practice under wip and coop? I would like to refresh my progress. @_@

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

Because the download system is a dinosaur and it's quite hard to change even the tiniest thing. We're currently working on a system that should work better.

As for the maps I'll delete 'em :)

ps: this would be better off in off-topic ;)

Most people append a version number to the end of their file name e.g., 1.0, 1.1, etc. It's a good idea to keep track of released versions but this is kind of a separate issue entirely. There is an option to remove all previous uploads when you upload a new version, but I don't think it works. If you don't want to worry about the file name at all, then upload it to the workshop and use the external url option here.

I thought off topic wasn't portal related. 0_o >.>

I never bothered to figure out how to get custom hammer maps onto the workshop. can coop maps be placed there? I only noticed single player

You can use "portal 2binp2map_publish.exe" to upload bsps to the workshop. Right now it only accepts single player maps.

aw lame, there should totally be section for coop

They will be adding Coop to the Workshop at some indeterminate point in the future.
