Hi,

just wanted to drop a map i've made for a lan session with some friends of mine. But be aware, it's beta, so don't bash me if there's anything to your dislike.

Suggestions and feedback are welcome, hope you guys have some fun with it too ...

( btw - first post and just wanted to say kudos to the team for making armada playable again, keep it up! )

When you download these, how do they become playable?

extract the RAR file to c:/program files/Activision/Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations/Data/bzn

it's probably slightly better to extract map files to:

%appdata%Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operationsbzn

that's the user maps folder, i'm not sure how the fleetops installer will deal with the program files bzn folder now that a user maps folder is added. most likely nothing will happen, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Awesome thanks again, when you say extract how do you mean? sounds silly but i tried to copy the downloaded file to the folder but this did not work?

The files are in a compressed rar archive, similar to a zip archive. 7zip is a free program that can extract the files.

Extracting is the process of decompressing the files,  thus restoring them to their original form.

When you extract files you get to choose the location they will be put. You can always extract anywhere and move the files after.

Also Windows will automatically handle Zip files by opening them like a regular folder, but it will call it a "compressed" folder and the icon will be different.  If this is the case, just copy/paste the contents out to wherever they need to go.
