When the game boots, it scans the momentum/custom/ folder for VPK files and subfolders. For steam users, this will be
Steam/steamapps/common/Momentum Mod/momentum/custom/
under the steam install path.
Each VPK and subfolder is added as a “search custom”, meaning that the files inside them will override the default game’s files. Using this is recommended over modifying the game’s files, as the custom folder will persist when installing an update or using Steam’s “verify integrity of game files” feature.

This guide is a work in progress. If you have questions or problems ask for help in the Momentum Mod Discord. # Before you start, you should know that maps with simple geometry work best for porting. Complex geometry can cause invalid solids which will need to be manually remade, and some textures will need to be realigned.

Ranked-Points System # The points you earn from your time on a map is the sum of the points awarded from each of these 3 systems described below: WR/top10 points + formula points + group points.
The systems described here are complete; we are in agreement that this is what the Ranked-Points should look like.
