New Maps? Patch.lvl??? Patch_v3.lvl??????

Post by BlackFoxx113 »

I was wondering if I could make a new map, then make a patch_v3.lvl for it, but I wanted to know HOW...this would be of help because I noticed that the mimesis maps also come with it... I'd really appreciate all the help I can get.

well, yeah, I KNOW that part, but I'm "Making" my mappack, and I'd like to save my downloaders a load of time with patching and such with mainmenu and make it like a content package

that's what I mean, when I do mainmenu patches, people also want to be able to play their allied mappack and such, but I want people to be able to play these maps with their disks in.
