_____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.
