How to install maps?

[Devil12]

I have just Downloaded some maps and want to try them.
I already placed the files in the Warzone 2100 dir where the savegames also are.
What do I have to do now?

[Kamaze]

Are this maps for the resurrection version (ending on *.wz) or maps for the retail game (ending on *.wdg)?
The last ones won't work with the resurrected version until the author converts them.

Also, i think you must put them at "\Warzone 2100\multiplay\custommaps"

[Devil12]

There aren't any .wz or .wdg files in them, so they won't work, right?

Now I downloaded a map with a .wz and an .addon.lev file.
Where do I have to put these files?

* In your WZ2100 Folder you have a "Map" folder - put both files in there.

It still don't work.
The map is shown in the Map Select screen, but when I try to start, it crashes. (Runtime error)
Does it have anything to do with the Version of Warzone? (I have 2.1)

[DevUrandom]

Not all 2.0 stuff is compatible with 2.1.
Can you give me a copy of the map?

[Devil12]

sure here it is.

Slight correction, you don't need both files in there.

If you made it with the 32bit editor, then you need JUST the .wz file, since it has the *.addon.lev file already in it.

And to fix the older ones, then you must change from windows "/" to linux style "" for paths, and also, everything must be lower case, which wasn't fixed.  The hacked version already changes "/" to "" for you though, you just have to convert all the filenames to lower case.

It still don't works for me.
I tried even with 2.0.10, there it crashes when I select the map.
What should I do to solve the problem?

* Well, I don't know how helpful this will be....

* I downloaded the files and threw 'em both in the map folder... I ran it no probs....just fine.

* However.... the last iteration I have on my comp is v.2.05 RC1 (and NO, I'm not updating at this time)

* So...

* BTW... the Map itself is very interesting... though I think the oil resources are too scant and the multitude of choke-points will cause problems 'cause they're basically 2-3 tiles wide... should be 5 for a few reasons i'm too lazy to ghet into now.

Did you do what I said?

If so, what is the crash message, and what is in stderr.txt & stdout.txt (if on windows) or output in terminal if on linux.

[Devil12]

You mean the fixes?
I don't know what you mean by ""/" to "\"", but I made an very simple map for test whit the 32bit editor, and it didn't worked, too.
What do you mean with "lower case".
Does the Name of the map have to be for example: "test1" instead of "Test1"?
The Crash message is:

Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libary
Text: Rintime Error!
        Program: C:\Programme\Warzone 2100\Warzone2100exe

        This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

The Crash message is:

format 1) path\directory\filename.exe.
format 2)  path/directory/filename.exe

In the addon.lev file, all file names should be using format #2.

Now *all* filenames must be lower case in the .wz file.
That means all the files it generated and stuck in the .wz files need to all be lower case.
Of course, they must match what is written in the *.lev file also.

oh this sounds stupid , but where do i find non-crashing maps for the 2.1 version(latest) of the open beta?

You either make them, or you convert them *correctly*.
