Maps are 7z archives which, at their most basic, consist of three image files packaged in a particular way. They can be found in Zero-K/Maps and be zipped or unziped with 7zip. Maps can contain more than their three image files, including:
- Metal spot layout.
- Start area configuration.
- Tree, rock or any other models to be placed as map features.
- Arbitrary code and units changes that can arbitrarily modify the game. See Mod Creation.
Creating maps
Ask in #zkmap in on the Zero-K Discord server.
Here are some SpringRTS (the engine) links [1] [2]
Running maps
Local testing
To run a map locally put it in Zero-K/Maps then start the game. Untick 'Only featured maps' in Settings -> Lobby and start a singleplayer skirmish game. Select 'Advanced', click 'Change Map' and select your map from the list.
Multiplayer
Upload your map to https://springfiles.com/ to make it downloadable and playable by others. Some admin action to feature/support the map may also be required.
