+**Steps to update the client with new maps**
+1. Fetch latest code from repository and update your local code
+    - From project terminal execute `git fetch`, `git pull`
+    - Create a new branch from develop
+
+
+2. Prepare new maps and map images
+    - Every map file has an accompanying map image with the same name.
+    - Map file names should be as follows: `[num_players]_[mapName].map`, e.g. `2_hail_mary.map`, `2_hail_mary.png`
+    - Ensure inside each of map file, under `Basic` the map name starts with number of players, e.g. `Name=[2] Hail Mary`
+    - Ensure author is set under `[Basic]` -> `Author=[RU]Polye`
+    - Map files should not have enhanced preview image and should be small in file size.
+    - Map images should end in .png, should be x768 on longest side, should run through [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com/) to shrink the image file size
+
+3. Update `MpMaps.ini`
+    - This file is very important, it tells the client what maps to display and in what order.
+    - Execute this script to automatically update `MpMaps.ini` for you. `\tools\mpmaps-updater\maps-updater.bat`
+    - View the output of the bat file to see any warnings or errors.
+    - Open MpMaps.ini and ensure each new map you have inserted is in the file, and double check the GameModes and details.
+
+4. Commit and push
+    - When all changes are ready, use git to add the files you added, then commit and push them.
+    - Using git tools in the IDE is pretty useful for this stuff.
+
+5. Create a pull request from your branch to `master` at https://github.com/CnCNet/cncnet-ra-client-package/pulls
+    - Once your code is merged, it is all ready to be updated in the client. There are separate steps to execute the client update with the latest code.
