How to re-upload a map with the corrected info?

[t3r6]

@shrimpza Could you help on how to re-upload maps with the updated map info?

(Regarding the Moloch maps that are already on the server. The ones in the PR should be fine.)

I noticed that some Moloch maps contain inconsistent info regarding the map author: some of them missing that info, some has typos in the author name, different spacing, mixed letter cases.

This website allows to sort by the author and that incorrect map info does not allow to search through Moloch maps properly.

I have fixed typos in the maps info (mostly Author and Description sections .ini files) where it was required (around 90 maps).
I don't think it might break any map.

How can I re-upload/replace them on the server?

P.S. I can share them via online storage but they are about 4.5Gb.
Or I can send you just the maps' .ini files. Which will be better?

Normally for correcting author names, and in the interests of leaving the original archives intact, we add alias files for content which have weird, inconsistent, or typo-filled names.

These are all in: https://github.com/unreal-archive/unreal-archive-data/blob/master/authors

It seems there's already a Moloch one with some aliases: https://github.com/unreal-archive/unreal-archive-data/blob/master/authors/moloch.txt

If you could point to content with other variations of his name, we can simply amend this file with as many as needed, and there's no need to re-upload.

I've updated that alias file with some additional variants I found, including the most troublesome one with the improper space "Michail' Moloch' Levchinko".

Thanks. But it seems that sorting does not work properly even with those aliases. Just compare these:
https://unrealarchive.org/authors/michail-_moloch_-levchinko.html
https://unrealarchive.org/authors/michail_-moloch_-levchinko.html
https://unrealarchive.org/authors/michail-_moloch_-levchinko-dedicated-to-helen-vaughan.html

As for the map infos, I think Moloch would not mind. I helped him to maintain his huge map database because at one point a lot of his maps were almost impossible to download anywhere. And the maps are rare - I've never seen them on servers so it should not impact anything.

Changing/adding Author or Description sections in the .ini files shouldn't break a map either. I just do not have an opportunity to test this in UT3 at the moment.

I will share the corrected infos if you don't mind. I tried to make everything neat and tidy :)
