Hi, ive been trying to get a IA map to work on crysis wars. but i cant seem to find it on the list of levels and i have the map folder in with all the other IA folders? can someone tell what i need to do after i have made a map? for example.

I have made my terrian ect. trees and stuff

building, weapons, veichles ect.

spawn, spectator points.

Ok now i want to play it what do i need to do?

I'm not sure how you get your maps to work in game. But i know that if you go into your editor, load the map, and press F12 you spawn inside the map, so i suppose thats like playing it. Except on your own..

yeah can spawn in sandbox but when i set up a game online no one else can join? it tells them they dont have the same map even when i have sent it to them. i tried using a defualt map and putting my map files in its folder but the same thing happens as i just explaned?

What you need to do is make an auto download for you map which means you would have to host some dedicated server files. Im not sure why it woudn't work for your friends though make sure all the files are sent zipped and that they extract the files to the same directory that you have it saved in.

Perhaps wait a few days im sure someone will be able to post some more useful information than i have, i don't really have any experience in map making.

OMG Serbz im in tears laughing at how fucking usless that piece of information you have just given...

You need to make an XML file for your level, my suggestion is to go and have a look at another map folder and look at what they have in there.

Ill show you what i have for my map Trinity Cove, the xml points to the loading screen and the minimap image for the level.
