Creating maps is not difficult you need to learn how to own it when you got the game you come with "Sbox Dev". Sbox Dev is a tool for creating mods, animations, textures, maps, etc. With the tool you can make anything!
When you create a map do not forget that you support the developers you make their job easier.
Let's try to create the first map!

You will think that the tool "Sbox Dev" does not exist and it is useless to find this tool in the folder with the game.
When you go into the folder with the game you notice two shortcuts game itself "sbox.exe" and
"sbox-dev.exe" we need the tool "sbox-dev.exe".

This program contains many tools (Map Editor, Material Editor, ModelDoc Editor, AnimGraph Editor, Particle Editor, VData Editor, Text Editor, Image Subrect Editor, Postprocessing Editor, Style Editor, Source Filmmaker, VMix Editor, Face Poser). To start working on the map we need exactly "Map Editor"

You notice that there is nothing here already, empty windows and a lot of tools, but to start working on the map you need to create a file.


Now you have a grid in which you can place the object and move it freely, before you place it, you have to select the tool.


To place blocks, select the tool with the "Block" icon, then place the block on the small screen or on the main screen.


When you put a block you can move it, enlarge it, flip it, etc.

To change the texture, click on the browse button

If you have selected a texture, click the "Accept" button.

Drag the texture onto the object.

Click on "Enity Tool"
Then find the "Sky" object in the "Fog & Sky"
Then drag to the platform.

Find the texture you want and drag it into the small window.

Put these spawns on the platform (Maximum 4 or the map does not compile)

To light everything, put "Environment Light" and indicate with an arrow where the sun will shine (There is an arrow on the object indicating where the light will shine).

Find the "File" tab then click on "Build Map" (F9)
Then click on "Fast Compile" to compile faster and finally click on "Build"
Congratulations, you have created your first map, now I will teach you how to publish the map!

It remains to publish the map, to publish you need to go to the official website s&box.
You must create an organization before you publish it.
This is what the organization looks like:

Enter the name of your organization

Prove that you are a good person:)

When you have created your organization, now you need to go to "Add Content" where you can publish files in VPK format.

You will have a choice: publish the game or the map, we created the map, we need to publish the map.

Call the card whatever you want (There should be no bad words in the title).

Put an avatar for the map to attract the attention of players.

Click on "Downloads" and select "Zip File".
]
The VPK is a compiled file, so you need to add it as a zip archive (rar is not supported).
Then click "Save Changes".
