 this is an easy tool you can use in order to generate a manifest for the map (filelist.xml). This is used by the map autodownloader so it can check the downloaded map.

 === Naming conventions ===
 There is no co-relation of the map's cry file and the map folder whatsoever. Yet, it is highly recommended to name those two the same, as well as the accompanying XML file. To avoid any undue confusion down the road. (And it's an long road - note that.)<br>
 It is customary to version the ''community'' maps so it is ''loud and clear'' which map is older and what archive it's coming from.
 The versioning process is somewhat meticulous and arduous, but we have a most streamlined guide for it below.

+Releasing a map is essentially providing public access to it. A map can have up to three release stages. Here we assume that any map has undergone basic testing on a clean MW:LL installation, loads without issues and players who have a copy connect to it without any issues as well.
