Unsure of loading custom maps?

[caiium]

Hey Hello, How is everyone?
I very recently bought Overgrowth and I am having a lot of fun but I am terrible at using computers.
I had searched the internet and the Wolfire forums for help on getting custom maps to work for over an hour but couldn't find anything. I have read Ariehl's post
"Mod: Main Menu with Custom Maps" and downloaded the installer/updater and one map but I have no idea what to do with those files. I swear I am missing something basic,
I apologize if I have missed a post explaining this or this is something incredibly basic.

Once you've downloaded the installer, just run the "OGModAutoDownloader.bat" file (assuming you're using Windows), and follow the instructions.

The installer will automatically download a bunch of mods (I believe it is currently about 480mb worth of content).

If the installer won't run, make sure you have Java installed (http://java.com/).

After the installer finishes, simply launch Overgrowth as usual, and you should see a ton of new maps to choose from in the main menu.

Please let me know if you encounter further issues.

Righto, I just built this PC so you most likely are right, I do not have Java.
I gotta got to work but I will try those instructions as soon as I can.
Thanks for the help, I will post back when I have tried it out.

Got it.
Thanks. Just needed Java. Help was much appreciated cause Overgrowth is a lot of fun.

You need to place the files in a directory that doesn't have any spaces or odd characters in it. One easy fix is to just make a folder at C:\, and put the files in there.
