I am brand new to COTA and I am sure I'm asking a question that everyone else already knows, but here goes. I found 4 map mods on the COTA site but there are no instructions (that I can find) on how to install them into my game. If someone has the time, please tell me how because I think they would be great. Please use simple language 'cause I'm kinda dense.[&:]

I found 4 map mods on the COTA site but there are no instructions (that I can find) on how to install them into my game.

Using the "httr terrain map mod" as an example.

Download from : http://cota.matrixgames.com/downloads/httr.zip

Put this file in a temp directory somewhere and extract with an "unzip" program.

The \Graphics\Map\Httr directory that will be created has these 3 files:

MapKey.bmp
MapPat.bmp
MapPatA.bmp

These files must be copied over the equally named files in the <wherever you installed COTA>\Graphics\Map\Default directory. Make sure to backup your original files first so you can go back to the original version.

Thanks so much for the reply Sterckxe. I'm going to give this a try later this evening. I think I'm really going to like these mods. Thanks again.
