RA2/YR Custom Map Help

[knoose]

Hi,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I have been having issues with custom maps I've downloaded from the internet. The only maps that seem to work are downloaded from cncnet's database: http://mapdb.cncnet.org/search.php?game=yr&age=0&search=map

Does anyone know why maps from other places on the internet will not show up in the game? cnc's database

Put the map in Maps/Custom and make sure it ends with the extension map like survival.map

Would it be enough to rename maps if they end in a different file extension? Or is there some sort of conversion process? Otherwise, how would I use maps ending in a different extension? 

Thank you!

Just rename them.
