How do I use a Custom map?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I created an immense map complete with stars, planets and all race homeworlds defined. I've named it, written a description and placed it in the custom map folder in my games. Despite all this it doesn't show up in the list of cutom maps in game. Where am I going wrong?

 

Also, is it possible to define homeworlds for minor races?

 

Sorry id this has been asked before but the search engine was not very helpful.

Thanks for the referral real helpful. I've searched everywhere and everybody say the same thing: put the map in the custom map folder in my games. It isn't working. I'd apprecaite a reply.

Try sticking them in your Install directory's custom map folder. It's under GalCiv2/Twilight/Data/CustomMaps . I've gotten them to load successfully from there.

Weird, it didn't have a custommaps folder. I went ahead and created it anyway and the map showed up. Thanks for replying.

 

EDIT: Oh also, is it possile to add minor races in custom maps?
