The following are instructions on how to install a C&C Generals or Zero Hour map downloaded from Generals World.
Note: The latest version of
WinZip is recommended, but not required.
- Open the compressed folder (.zip file) of the map you have downloaded from Generals World.
- Extract all the files to your Maps data folder. This folder is located in your My Documents folder.
- For C&C Generals:
- The maps data folder is My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\Maps
- On Windows 98/Me systems, the complete path to this folder is: C:\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\Maps\
- On Windows 2000/XP systems, the complete path to the folder varies. The basic path is always: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\Maps\ where [User Name] is your login user name.
- For C&C Generals: Zero Hour:
- The maps data folder is My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps
- On Windows 98/Me systems, the complete path to this folder is: C:\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps\
- On Windows 2000/XP systems, the complete path to the folder varies. The basic path is always: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps\ where [User Name] is your login user name.
- Each compressed folder (.zip file) should already contain a folder of the same name as that of the map you downloaded. Thus, when you extract the folder, a new folder of that name should be created inside of the Maps folder.
- Start up Generals or Zero Hour, go into Skirmish or Multiplayer and select Unofficial Maps. The map you just downloaded should now be listed.
