I am trying to publish my hammer map, it says failed to publish. I added my textures and sounds via pakrat. I was wondering what possible reasons a map might have for failing to publish. I added the end of the level, so that isn't it, and i have published with pakrat before so im sure i did that right.
any help would be appreciated.

By "end of the level" you mean the instance 'global_pti_ents', right? If so, then you might have left a space in the map name?

I think all the servers are overloaded from the Summer Sales. Just try again.

I have tried many times by now to publish it, but i hope it will just work one of these times.

Is there a max file size for p2map_publish.exe

Yeah, but I don't think you'll reach it.

My internet connection seems to be working fine, though I'm having trouble uploading via PTI as well. There isn't any summer sales or anything so I don't think it's a traffic problem, though I could be wrong.

Anything anyone could suggest?

My friend said he had to rename it to something he had already uploaded, but It didnt work too well for me. Could be worth a try

I think you might be onto something, because it worked when I re-uploaded a previous map. I'll give it a try.

Hmmmm... what about publishing a PTI map (just a small one so it can be done quickly) and then update it with a bigger (and maybe hammer) one? is this also hapenning with publishing from the PTI creator?

Unfortunately PTI maps weren't working either. It was only maps that I'd already uploaded that would work. Publishing via PTI does work, though it didn't for a bit (I think that was just connection issues).

Fortunately, though, I was able to upload my map under the same name as another map (in a different directory) and that worked fine and the map uploaded. Hopefully this issue will go away, though, because I'd like to keep the map names proper for the sake of orderliness

This, altogether with the fact that every time you verify the integrity of the local files, it finds 1 or 2 that needs to be reacquired (for both, the game and the tools) is what I think that is messing up the p2map_publish.exe tool. There is something wrong with the game after whatever VALVe did.

Even though I guess someone else surely did already, I've submitted a ticket to VALVe:

p2map_publish.exe NOT WORKING ANYMORE
||Dear VALVe:

I'm not sure if you are aware or not, or if any other mapper already referred to this issue before, but it's too long now since the tool to publish to the workshop is not working to upload hammer custom maps.

The game doesn't quit properly either, but crashing, and after verifying the integrity of the local files, it always finds failing files... this is not normal at all.

I'm not the only one having this issue, but it's worldwide.

Could it be that any recent update is messing up the game and the tools?

Could we know if you are on this and when do you expect it can be fixed?

Thanks in advance for the attention.

Best regards.||
