Step one?
Ok, ive searched high and low for the absolute basics on how to upload a Dawn of War 3 map to the workshop, or even just to test it in game and nowhere can i find any info about where to save my .sga file to enable this to happen.

Could anybody please be so kind as to point an old duffer in the right direction? Ive never uploaded anything to workshop before so have no idea how to do that either. Ive exported my map to sga, what next?

Many Thanks

This helped me, keep in mind the builder is currently bugged and if you've exported your map more than once it won't show up. It's a known problem.

Hey, thanks for the info, unfortunately thats the very same doc i used to get to where I am, im kinda stuck what to do after exporting the .sga. I have an .sga from my map but no idea how i actually open that via steam or DoW3....sadly the doc doesnt explain much past exporting the .sga into your c drive.



Cheers for the info tho, much appreciated.

Nice dude, thank you. So if the map exports succefully it should show up in game. It'll be in your map list as a mod as well as under community -> workshop. Unfortunately, at the moment if you've exported your map more than once it won't show up in either of these places. The path you need to save it to is stated in the link I posted.

You also upload the map to the workshop from in-game, through the community -> workshop button. Select the map then publish.

Cheers for the help!

Someone posted a workaround to the export issue that seems to work. Save the map, then go into the modsource folder and delete mapname_prefabdata. Then export
