Adding/Editing a map

As you have read, adding a map it is easy:

1. Create a Level;
2. Add it to PlayableLevelsDataTableBP and GameplayLevelsDataTableBP;
3. Create its configuration.

If you want to edit a map already present, you just need to change its level configuration data table, for example you can have a Sedan for every round.

The Test Replay Level is the best example about how to create a simple level as it is a small map.

Adding a Vehicle

1. You need to already have imported and configured a correctly working vehicle;
2. Add it to VehiclesDataTable;
