Jimatri99 Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 What's the deal now? We can't play "homemade" maps online if we send them to someone?...What if they are downloaded from the download site?(that is this emperor map site)Are there any generic host sites out there that would support westwood style games.? This just doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 I wouldn't expect it to. I dont think even WW makes sense to WW. And Emp is so big yet played so little online; don't wait for other hosts. There won't be any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 There is no built in map sending program. We were told this was because people could include virus or other malicious files instead of actual maps. Also some people wouldn't want to wait for an entire map to download since they can get quite large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 It *should* work if you both have the same map directory just like Dune 2000. It sounds to me as though maybe your friend might have the wrong setup, have you personally checked to see if its right on his computer too?
