XGhozt 410 Posted March 14, 2008 Download Maps: http://www.Ghoztcraft.net/forums/index.php...&cat_id=115 After opening the .zip file you should take a look at the content of the archive. If it contains a .bmz file the installation is really easy. Extract the file and follow these steps: 1. Launch Portal 2. Select "BONUS MAPS" 3. Click the "Import Bonus Maps..." button 4. Browse to the directory where you extracted the .bmz file to, select it and click "Open". This is what the window should look like: If it doesn't contain a .bmz file you will have to install it manually. .bsp files belong into the portal/maps directory. The full path probably looks like this: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your account\portal\portal\maps\test.bsb Usually the map archives come with their own directory structure - it should really be obvious if you have any clue. So now there are two possibilities. If the map came with a BNS file it will show up in the Bonus Maps menu of Portal and you can load it properly from there. If the mapper was lazy you will have to do the following: 1. Go to Steam -> My Games, right click on Portal and select Properties. 2. Select "Set launch options...", enter "-console" (without the quotes obviously) and click "OK". 3. Launch portal, hit the `/~ key to bring up the console (this is the key to the left of the "1" for me) and type "map [map you want to play]". So if the map was called "test.bsp" you would type "map test" and hit enter to play it. That's it. If it came with a BNS file you can just play them using the Bonus Maps menu as you can see in the following picture: Enjoy! Share this post Link to post
