Normally you get two files: a .wz-file and an .addon.lev.

Put them into ~/.warzone2100/maps and you should be able to select them from within warzone :)

EDIT: Example can be found at http://files.warzone2100.de/maps/2playe ... golfin.zip (username: warzone2100.de, password: backfire). Unpack the files in that archive into the mentioned maps-folder and everything should work :D

Kreuvf, AFAICT, you don't need the *.addon.lev file outside the .wz file.
I don't have them in the maps I converted, and it still works.

You just got to make sure the directory structure is good.
The *.addon.lev file should be in the same directory as the multiplay directory.
As follows, inside the .wz file:
multiplay [dir]
whatevername.addon.lev  [file]
Then you just drop that into the maps directory, and be done with it, no need for the extra *.addon.lev file.
and it ends here.

yeah, if the external addon.lev is needed, then it's completely redundant.

Why does my WZ crash everytime when I try to open the map in skirmish mode?

Where you get the map?
Could be it wasn't converted correctly.

What is the crash message?

I've got it from warzone2100.de.
Where can I find a crash log, else I only have this 'The Application Warzone 2100 quit suddenly, wanna restart, report or close'-Type message-

If using windows, then it should have a stdout.txt & stderr.txt in the same directory as the .exe

However, since I don't know the mapname, or a link to said map,  I can't test it to see what it wrong with it.
