# Creating a New Map

{% hint style="success" %}
verified: 2025-11-18 version: v39
{% endhint %}

Like in native Unreal there's many ways you can create a new map. In order for your map to work with our various systems, the quickest way to get up and running is to modify the version of ExampleMap provided by the [Morpheus Base Project](/creation/unreal-development/getting-started/using-the-template-project.md) or to duplicate our minimalist template map. The steps below cover the template map approach:

1. Create Your Map
   1. Open `NewMapTemplate`
   2. File > Save Current Level As and rename it to make it your own
2. Make Your Map Available for Upload
   1. Open Edit > Project Settings > Morpheus Platform> M2 World Builder
   2. Open section Upload > Maps
   3. Either replace Example Map or add an additional Map to the array
      1. All maps listed in this array will be uploaded and available in your mod if "Include Map in Upload" is checked. See [Upload Content](/creation/unreal-development/getting-started/uploading-content.md) for more info

{% hint style="danger" %}
Map names, including the path, must be no more than 63 characters. If they are longer then you'll get an error when launching a deployment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.msquared.io/creation/unreal-development/getting-started/creating-your-own-map.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
