map mod problem

[Boogie]

I just downloaded the map file, opened it, and put it in my BF'42 file.

When I went to join in this Monday it get <map not found>.
I know I'm not doing something right, any ideas, hints, help.

Thanks

Boogie the maps should be placed in the following directories. This should be your 1st check. X: denotes the drive the BF42 program is installed under.
In X:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\Mods then under this the maps are split depending on whether they are on original version or one of the xpacks.
So under the above Mods directory you should have bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels this should contain the following mods:-
Battle_for_Guam
Battle_of_Hurtgen_Forest
Battle_of_Inhantala
Dambuster
Faid_Pass
Karden
Kasserine
Ld_Omaha_Day1
Nuenen
Omaha_Beach_Dog_green_Sector
Operation_armoured_thrust
Operation_Forager
Operation_Sealion
Remagen
SaintSauveur
Stonehenge
the_great_pursuit
toujane_tunisia
UN_ihantala

next in the original X:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\Mods you should have xpack1\archives\bf1942\levels this should contain:-

114_to_Messina 3 versions
Bir_Hakeim 2 versions
Capture_of_Ortona 3 versions
Comacchio 3 versions
Monte_Battaglia 3 versions
The_Giogo_Pass 2 versions
Toujane_tunisia_000


This will leave Toujane_Tunisia_001 which should go in the xpack2\archives\bf1942\levels folder & Toujane_Tunisia_002 which is a Forgotten Hope mod which you do not need so could delete as we do not run Forgotten hope.

I hope this is not too long winded & helps you identify where your trouble may be.

I did what stood here, and i moved all the maps that should be in xpack1 to xpack1, but now they are gone! I cant find them anywhere! Ive even looked under my bed for it, but nothing there! Do i have to download it all again? The only maps i miss is those to the xpacks.

not a big deal cesar cos we only usually play the vanilla version of toujane not the xpack versions
if you just want this one its here:
http://battlefield2.filefront.com/file/ ... isia;67799
or browse here for the other maps individually if you don't want to download whole mappack

And one(?) last question: I looked into fileplanet for the maps, And i find maps like "Bir Hakeim map Final", should i download that? I didnt find more maps that i needed to download.

EDIT: Now ive downloaded the first map pack, but the other that needs winzip isnt that far. Because my Winzip 45 days thingy has gone out of date. And i really dont wanna spend money on Winzip, is there any other Zip program i can use?

Download this for free.
Extract the map only and place it in the folder that you want it in.
