dumb question, but how do I install these maps?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Place the file here:

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Archives\
In case this file path doesn't exist, create it.
Have fun playing!

Thanks.  I found the problem, it was in my Program Files CoH directory

Hi, I just copied it to C:\Users\%user%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\Archives and it didnt work. I created the Archives folder because it didnt exist in the that path initially and opened EF.

Then, I found the Archives folder on C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\Eastern_Front\Archives and C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\WW2\Archives and copied the file in both folders and it still wouldn't work. What is going on?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Strange. Both the other folders won't work, the first one should have done that! Could you please post a screenshot of the directory you pasted the file in?

[b.iron]

Ok, solved. I tried this step:

I pasted the file on C:\Users\%user% \Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\scenarios and it finally worked. Not sure why it needs another path on some users for it to work though. Could it be that it differs on non-Steam users? I had mine from the original CD.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

The "Company of Heroes" folder in "My Games" is created regardless of owning the Steam version. Perhaps you didn't paste the file correctly or for a wrong user.
Good to hear you were able to fix it, though! Have fun playing!

Thanks Maxi. Good job on the maps guys, it looks epic!

[Otto Halfhand]

@ Maxi and Bacon: Thank you so much. The new trailer in Donors was impressive too, but the best part is you'all's Logo. I LOL'd so hard I spilled the mustard.

Edit: Just got a look at the new Wehr HQs. Sweet!

[BffWithDEATH]

C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\scenarios

thats the correct route you should be pasting it in guys.
if you do that there should be no problems, ok?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Indeed! That's the path required.

[MonolithicBacon]

Alright, Ladies and Gents, it's time for the first sneaks of our new map pack:

"World Fronts"

Although there isn't a set decision on how many maps will be included in the pack, four are a work in progress, and three are finished!

So, onto the pictures!

First up, Fromelles (4):











And now, Ruweisat Ridge (4)!







And finally (for now) Novorossiysk (6):













Keep your eyes peeled!

More is coming!

[BurroDiablo]

Holy supersonic crapfountains batman! Those look fantastic.

[beagletank]

Novorossiysk looks really awesome.
 

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

The idea behind World Fronts was to create maps from all over the globe, representing many different theatres of war. What we have until now is:

Fromelles (4): A classic trench warfare map, designed for the Great Patriotic War (TGW) mod.
Ruweisat Ridge (4): A North African map bringing the unique flavour of desert combat into your very own homes. Created for Company of Heroes: Afrika mod.
Novorossiysk (6): The bigger brother of one of Eastern Front's Ostheer maps. The port facilities of Novorossiysk became vital for both Soviet and German troups during the second world war.

And yet, there are more to come:

Battle of Arras (2) - TGW
Chania (4) - Battle of Crete mod
Maleme Airfield (4) - Battle of Crete mod
Peleliu Airfield (4) Pacific Thunder mod
Karelia (6) - Eastern Front mod

As Bacon said; keep your eyes peeled!
