Hello,
I am a first time poster but long time reader of this site. Never had a reason to create an account until now. EITHERWAY:

I made a UMS map using SMCDraft2. I added all my triggers and stuff and tested it by myself in single player with custom game. I am to the point where I need to test the balancing of the units but when I host my game, it will not show up. I tried LAN(udp/ip) with friends. If I hosted a different map they could see my game. When i tried to use my map they couldnt. I then used windows filesharing to give it to my friend who tried to host it and again, no one else could see the game. I then tried to host it on BNET and again it wouldnt show up. Is there a setting or something I am missing?? Is this a common and easily fixed problem. Thanks for any help.

don't but colors/overlap characters in the force names.

the force names are simply "Attackers" and "Defenders"

sorry, don't use overlap characters in the map name. Force name doesn't matter. Colors should be fine, but overlap isn't.

Might also be other special chars in the map name/file name. Avoid things like '&', '+', etc.
