Community Packs opens an in-game browser where you can find and import community .akr setup packs scoped to your current map. Choose a category, search by keyword, and import packs directly without leaving the game.

​
Index URL

The browser reads packs from a JSON catalog at the configured Index URL (shown at the top of the Community Packs window). The default catalog is hosted at https://akron.micr.dev/catalog/index.json. You can point this to a custom URL or local file:/// path. Catalog entries can contain map-specific StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen .akr packs.

​
Import a pack

1

Open the target map

Community packs are filtered by the current map SID, so load the map you want a pack for before opening the browser.
2

Open Community Packs

Open Akron’s overlay, navigate to the Interface tab, and select Community Packs.
3

Refresh the catalog

Click Refresh to fetch the latest catalog index.
4

Filter entries

Choose a category (All, StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen) and type in the search box to filter by title, description, author, map URL, section label, or tags.
5

Import the selected pack

Select a pack in the list, review its details on the right, and click Import Selected. Click a preview to inspect it at a larger size, or use See in Discord when the pack includes its source thread. Akron downloads the .akr file into Saves/AkronSetups/community-*.akr and imports the declared scope.

​
Submit a map pack

Use the moderated in-game flow for map-linked StartPos, Auto Kill, and Auto Deafen packs:
1

Open the target map

Load the map that owns the setup. Akron includes its map SID with the submission.
2

Open Upload Pack

Open Akron’s overlay, navigate to the Interface tab, and select Upload Pack.
3

Choose the pack section and attribution

Select StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen. Choose Anonymous or Discord attribution. If you choose Discord, enter your Discord ID. Review the generated title and description.
4

Submit the pack

Make sure the setup includes at least one StartPos or area in the current map, then click Submit Upload. Akron automatically captures up to 10 matching rooms and submits the pack for staff review.
The upload stays private until staff approve it. Approval adds it to the public catalog and creates its Discord showcase post. Members can reply to map showcase threads, but cannot create posts in the StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen forums. Keybind, HUD, audio, and recorder packs do not use the map catalog. Post those .akr files in their matching Discord pack forums.

​
Pack safety

Community packs use the same .akr import path as local exports.
  • Export your current setup before importing a community pack.
  • Confirm that the pack section is StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen.
  • For StartPos packs, install the same map and object-providing mods used by the author. Each imported StartPos includes its v10 snapshot, coordinates, and spawn settings.
  • Imported settings can affect attempt status and proof metadata when used.
  • The Community Packs browser accepts StartPos, Auto Kill, and Auto Deafen setup archives.
  • A public pack contains manifest.json, setup.json, and one v10 snapshot entry per StartPos. Its manifest kind is setup and its payload format is akron-setup-v8.

​
Size limits

Akron caps catalog and pack downloads before importing:
  • Catalog index: 1 MiB.
  • .akr pack download: 512 MiB.
  • Setup payload inside an .akr: 2 MiB.
  • Each compressed StartPos snapshot attachment: 128 MiB.
  • All compressed StartPos snapshot attachments in one pack: 509 MiB.
  • Each downloaded catalog preview image: 2 MiB, no wider or taller than 2048 pixels, and no larger than 4,194,304 pixels in total.
  • Marked-room captures in one in-game upload: 10 rooms.
Catalog screenshots can start larger than the stored image. Official upload paths store marked-room captures privately for review, then publish optimized JPEG previews for the catalog carousel. Moderator reviews show every submitted image, and published Discord galleries include navigation and download controls. In-game uploads automatically capture up to 10 rooms that contain the selected StartPos, Auto Kill, or Auto Deafen content before submission. StartPos capture rooms are ordered by the lowest saved StartPos slot in each room. In-game uploads can submit StartPos, Auto Kill, and Auto Deafen packs. Generated titles use the current map’s localized name when one is available. Akron attaches the current map SID to the upload, so check that any Auto Kill or Auto Deafen areas in your active setup belong to the current map before submitting.

​
Catalog contract

Catalog entries point to .akr downloads and identify the section, map SID, title, author, tags, and update time. See Community pack catalog for the JSON schema and Akron .akr archives for archive validation rules. Catalog maintainers should validate pack metadata, scopes, and download URLs before publishing a shared catalog.
