How to play .mpr or .mix maps in Skirmish?

[CuiZinieR]

Hi!

 

I need your help to understand how to install .mpr and .mix TS/FS maps to play them on Skirmish mode. Indeed, I tried to copy these map files in ...\CnCNet\TiberianSun_Online\Maps\Firestorm or CnCNet\TiberianSun_Online but it doesn't show up in Skirmish. The only workaround I found so far is to rename the .mpr file in ...\CnCNet\TiberianSun_Online\Maps\Firestorm into .map; then I can see them in Skirmish.

 

I'm sure there must be a trick to install them since all downloadable map on Internet are either .mpr or .mix (map pack) but just can't figure it out.

 

Thanks for your help.

.mpr and .map should work fine

 

.mix files don't work, you need to use XCC Mixer to extract the maps

.mix aren't maps, they're archives that may or may not contain maps. Kinda like, y'know, zip files, only in the archive format the game uses. But if the game is set to read maps from a specific location it probably won't look inside mix files for it.
