Custom maps in the default theme

Post by Osito »

Sorry if this was already known to everyone else, but I've just discovered a feature that I wasn't previously aware of and which seems pretty cool. It's certainly of help with my 'galactic map'.

If you place a custom map in a 'maps' sub-folder in the main DW:U folder, then when you start a default game you get the option to load the map as a scenario in the default theme. So you can create scenarios in the default theme. Yay! I never knew that.

(No doubt this is all explicitly explained in the modding guide somewhere, but I managed to miss it.)
