New page

Maps are in-game levels where all the gameplay takes places. Their format and structure varies between each game. Despite the multitude of file extensions, all map files are in fact plain [[INI]] files (except the .BIN files in {{td}}).

== {{td}} ==

In TD, a map consists of two files, .BIN and .INI, which must have the same file name. The former contains only terrain information while the latter includes [[Basic]] settings, [[TechnoTypes]], [[TerrainTypes]], [[OverlayTypes]], [[Triggers]] and other map data.

== {{ra}}, {{cs}} and {{am}} ==

Terrain data is now integrated and encoded into the map .INI file in the form of [[MapPack]]. In addition, official map files are not recognised unless referred to by a Missions.PKT text file (multiplayer) or [[Battle.ini|scenario]] [[Mission.ini|control]] [[Mapsel.ini|INI files]] (singleplayer). A new .MPR extension is introduced for custom multiplayer maps, which do not require to be listed in Missions.PKT and transfer between players online as long as the map has {{sl|Basic|Official|no|link}}.

== {{ts}} and {{fs}} ==

Official map files now use the .MAP extension. Other file naming systems remain the same.

== {{ra2}} and {{yr}} ==

File extensions remain the same as in Tiberian Sun. In addition, the following extensions are introduced:

*.MMX - [[Mix]] file containing a .MAP file and a .PKT file, used by official RA2 map packs.
*.YRM - Custom YR multiplayer map, behaves the same as .MPR
*.YRO - Mix file containing a .MAP file and a .PKT file, used by official YR map packs.
