Stupid Map Question

ahhh, thanx. How do you put them in the map directory? Do they go there automatically when you download them?

That depends on how the zip file was created. Since they are made by Users it will be different everytime.

Do you have a particular one, or a particular site, that you are getting them from?

the worldwar map
valhalla
land of milk and iron, the underworld, and stygian abyss

Please reffer to my sig when giving instructions

Thanx

Well assuming you have winzip (or winrar or some other extractor) you just double click on the downloaded .zip file and you can specify the path (directoy) to which you want the compressed files (should be a .tga and a .map file) to go to.

So if you're lazy like me and installed dominions2 directly to your C: drive the path you'd want is:
C:\dominions2\maps

If that's not clear enough, or not the right answer ask again

PS: if you don't have a compressor utility you can download them from places like www.winzip.com... (I think anyway, havn't checked there in a while)

Make sure that you have the

MAPNAME.tga
MAPNAME.map

in your Dominions2/maps directory (if you unzipped or unpacked them somewhere else)

Yes, but how do you make them work? I know you have to download the map and go to the map editor, but nothing beyond that...

You do not need to edit the maps. They are already edited and ready. Just unzip it in the right directory and create a game.
