- _____Introduction
-
- New levels for Red Alert are known as "maps". Westwood (makers of Red Alert)
- included an editor with the game and many people have created new maps. We
- have collected about 350 of these maps.
-
- _____Installing New Maps
-
- If you did not install Red Alert to the default directory
- (c:\westwood\redalert), we're going to assume you are resourceful. For our
- purposes, we assume the user has installed Red Alert to the default
- directory.
-
- 1. Full Install - Install all new maps (3.4 megs).
-
- From your CDROM drive, run the program \maps\all_in.bat.
- If you later want to remove the maps, run \maps\all_out.bat.
-
- 2. Single Install - Install a single map (5-20k each).
-
- Click on any of the alphabetically divided directories below. You will see
- a list of maps starting with that letter. Click on any one of those levels
- and save it to the Red Alert directory (usually c:\westwood\redalert).
-
- _____Running New Maps
-
- All maps can be played single or multi-player.
-
- 1. Start Red Alert
- 2. Click on "Multiplayer Game"
- 3. Click on "Skirmish"
- 4. In the top center of the screen, you will see a list of maps that you can
- play. The new maps you installed may not be in alphabetical order.
- Highlight one.
- 5. Change any attributes you like about the game. Pay attention to the "AI
- Players" (number of computer opponents you are playing against). If you
- want to play the level multi-player, make sure that everyone has installed
- the new level to their system.
-
- Note: Some maps might give you the error message "Incompatible Map Type". I
- do not know why this happens but if you click "OK" it works anyway. Just
- ignore it.
