How to import maps after update 3?

[Tom Keks]

Maybe I am just blind or stupid ;) but I can't find the right way to import custom maps after update 3.
As usual, I downloaded a map from "https://timberbornmaps.com" and placed its ".timber" file into the "C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\Timberborn\Maps" folder. But the map does not show up in the game - neither in "new game" nor in the editor.

Did I miss an important change?

They show up for me following the same steps.

Double check that it's actually a TIMBER and not JSON file.
You can always use the "Edit map" option, load the map in the editor, save it under a new (or same name).
Also, double check that you did not accidentally put it into the "Experimental" subfolder if you've ever been on the experimental branch.

I checked the file several times - it is a timber file.
The folder is also correct. You can browse the correct folder from within the game, this leads me to the exact same folder.
I cannot open the maps in the editor. Otherwise, this would have been my preferred solution.

Problem solved. I verified the local files via Steam. After the next start, the imported maps were available! :)
Cheers guys.

Was looking on timberbornmaps but in my sick state (severe cold) I don't see any button to download the maps there. Any hints for this map starved person?

Top of the listing of each map, there should be an unassuming clickable text - filename.

Example: https://timberbornmaps.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=249
Just below the title "Babylon", there is "Babylon.timber" (clickable) -- that's the download link.

Completely missed that. Thanks.

Guessing that the .json format maps are just dead and lost? bunch of them on timberbornmaps.com that are still in the old old format. Or is there a way to convert them? I know their resources will still be minimal (pre the various updates) but some of the landscaping is still fun.

I have found a workaround for that problem.
1. Roll back the version of Timberborn under >>properties >>betas in Steam to "old-0.2 - Old Version 0.2"
2. Start the game and open editor.
3. Load the JSON-file of the desired map.
4. Save under a different name. For example with the prefix "new_".
5. Repeat for every map you want.
6. Get back to actual version.
7. Verify your new map in editor.
8. Have fun
