Edit Campaign Maps?

[snake74u]

How can I edit campaign maps in Worldbuilder? I found where to extract them from but I'm not sure what to do with them from there

So, anytime you're editing a map that uses a string file or a map.ini, you'll need to temporarily move those out of the way—otherwise, WorldBuilder throws a little tantrum and refuses to open the map.

What I usually do (whether it’s a mod map, a regular one, or an AOD) is create a new folder inside that map’s directory. Then I just cut and paste the .str and .ini files into it—kind of like putting the kids in the other room so the grown-ups can work.

Once the map loads up in the editor and you’re done tweaking things, just move the files back where they belong.

It’s a weird little trick, but it works—and it’s also a sneaky way to keep your map from being casually edited by folks who don’t know about it. Call it “map editing on hard mode.” 😄

Ah ok, thank you. Where do I place the maps in the directory tho?

Ah ok, thank you. Where do I place the maps in the directory tho? All custom maps can be stored anywhere but are best saved in the my documents command and Conquer tiberian wars folder then in the maps folder there ,
