    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone could explain how I would go about deleting a map from the game.
    I've tried myself but I end up with the following message:
    Spoiler:

    Help would be very welcome since Im not sure were the problem lies and how to fix it.
     
    Hi Martyk, i actually did just that. Be aware that its a lot of work, it took me almost three days (I had to restart two times though).
    My advice: remove one map after another, always running make inbetween every map and cleaning up the mess the deletion left.
    Your console output tells me that you might have removed the whole content ouf map_groups.json, but you need at least the general structure.
    If you share your current map_groups.json it might be easier to help :)

    Hey, sorry for the slow reply.
    I've attached my map-groups file.
    I reverted back to the state where it was still working.
    So the problem started with the fact that I added too many maps in Group 0, did not know there was a max at 127. So from Route_210 till Route_204Up has to go. Thanks for the help in advance

    As 127 is the maximum of a signed byte that makes sense to me. I d advise to merge groups with few entries (like 30 and 31) and split group0.
    Did you delete any vanilla maps? That was your initial question, right? If not (and if this is still your plan), start with that before adding new ones.
     
    Okay, thanks i'll look into that. Yeah i will probably change some levels in vanilla to new maps, so i wont have to delete them but just change them.
    Thanks for your help!
