Custom Maps?

Post by ThunderBuns »

Where do I place custom maps? I've tried the My Documents/Warzone 2100/Multiplay/custommaps folder, but they still don't show up in game! Maybe the maps don't have the correct extensions? These two files (of the same map) are in the folder as follows:

Code: Select all

8c-teamwar07.addon.lev
and

Code: Select all

8c-teamwar07.wz
Is anything wrong with their extensions or whatnot? Because I've been playing Warzone 2100 around the clock lately and those few standard maps get quite tedious after the 8th time you've played them.

No, *just* the .wz file

The *.addon.lev files should be INSIDE the .wz file.  If not, then that .wz file was made wrong.
and it ends here.

if you place both files in the folder.... does it still work?  if so what is the problem with putting them both in. ???

Oh, sure it works, it just reads the file in 2 times, because it finds it twice.  We don't check for duplicate files.

While (I think) no harm is done, I rather keep the directories nice and neat, with no extra fluff in them.
and it ends here.

Problem would be if they differ. I currently couldn't tell you which one is considered authoritative, without looking at the code.
