Howdy all. I'm new to this course designer and really can't figure out how the whole Surface#1, Surface#2, Surface#3, Toggle Second Surface, Select Surface, Swap Texture selections work. Every time I think I've figured it out I end up making global edits when I'm just working on a local patch. Is there a good post or video that breaks down how to use this tool? Also, I'm working on my local course for a buddy who has a Skytrak and I'm loading it up with a lot of custom structures and modding the tree/bush palette. The course will be unplayable to anyone who doesn't have the modded assets file so the question I have is: When I publish it is there some "gatekeeper" that will stop the distribution if they see problems? If not is there a naming convention that should be used so people won't needlessly try the course? Thanks.

I may be wrong, but I believe that once you select surface #1, surface #2, #3, etc. it will have that surface selected for the entire course. You can't mix and match all the surfaces hole by hole (or surface by surface). similarly for textures of greens, fairways, etc.
In terms of a gatekeeper for published courses, no, once it is published, it is available for anyone to play who happens to stumble upon it. If you name it beta or test or something like that, then most people probably wouldn't waste their time. Rather than publishing it though, why don't you just share the file with your friend and then you all can play it locally as "my unpublished course"?

OK. Thanks for the reply. It seems pretty limiting but that was the conclusion I was reaching. As for the playing, is there a trick to getting the course selection filter to show the "my unpublished courses". The only way we found was to Playtest in the editor but it only allows a onesome?

If you go to Local Match - Change Course - More filters - You will see 12 boxes on the front page. You need to scroll down to the next page, but just below "My Friends Courses" is "My Unpublished Courses". From there you can play your unpublished course and you can add multiple players (although they would only be local players I believe).Japan
