9 Then search for your map - it should list as "*mapname + version*" specified in mapinfo. lua provided with the map files in map directory. If you didn't specify it, it should be your smf file *name*. If it does not list, make sure you've put it in the right place or search wiki where to put it. I am not certain whether steam directory is the right place, or there's some external place like in %APPDATA% - someone more knowledgeable could clarify that. 9 Then search for your map - it should list as "*mapname + version*" specified in mapinfo. lua you should provide with the map files in map directory.

13 Then all you've got to do is press "Test the game". Your choices should save when you shut down engine, so it's not very meticulous to set this up every time to test, but I recommend in the future when it gets tiresome to use command console - then you can prepare one-liner which will run all settings properly and start the game right away without clicking. The most important use of console is extra feedback that it gives on standard output about some warnings and errors you might have made in your map (especially scripts). 13 Then all you've got to do is press "Test the game".
