When I tried to upload a map to the Steam Workshop, I have encountered this error: "Failed to publish file! Check to see if you have another item that has the same name." I do not have any files uploaded with the same name. When I tried searching workshop to check if someone else uploaded a map with the same name, no results.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I got this error when uploading pl_boatload.
A quick Google search led to a thread where someone said "Make sure your map isn't repacked, because the Workshop needs to do its own repacking."
I didn't remember that being a problem with cp_bruhstbowl, but sure enough, compiling a new non-repacked version of pl_boatload worked flawlessly.

bspzip.exe has a function to "un-repack" a map. This can be done with command line, but as a godless 2004 baby who knows precious little about command line programs, I prefer to use BSPZipGUI for unusual repacking-related situations like this one.

Hope this helps!

It's Frostfell, not Frostcliff. Really shows how little respect you actually have for the maps you reupload :/
