how to play custom maps?

i made a map in sandbox and i would like to play it on zombie fortress mode, is there any way i can play the map i made?

 

I believe you can load maps with the "Esc" menu. I use the console to load maps. Hit the "Home" key and you'll get the console. Type "/loadmap mapName" and hit enter to load a KAG map. Use the "Home" key again to exit the console. If you have a .png map from a paint program, you can load it with /loadbitmap.

 

Although im pretty sure you cannot load a map and play it on zombie fortress

(Correct me if im wrong?)

 

I just tested. You can definitely load a map in Zombie Fortress from the console. It looks like the "Esc" menu doesn't have an option to load a map though, just to save one. You have to use the console.

 

Will the zombies still spawn though? i know they wont spawn if you generate a map bigger than the defualt one :l

 

Ah. No. I can't seem to get zombies to spawn on a custom map. I guess that's an important concern. :p

 

i tried running the loadmap command line and this happened: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=600026856
any idea why it would do that? any help is appreciated.
ps: sorry if i should have started a separate thread

 

By the looks of things, isn't that KAG Beta? Not KAG Classic? Are we talking about Classic or Beta?

 

i havent played since the original classic, when there was a gold or a normal account, now i bought it on steam so i'm not sure how it goes. the build is 1714?

 

Yeah, what you're playing is the 'new' version. So, using /loadbitmap would not work. (or as it /loadmap? (either way, theres a difference between these two versions)) The classic build is 591.

 

i tried /loadbitmap mapname , but it said i had to use /loadmap mapdirectory, and that didn't work. i have a screenshot i can post when i get home but im not on my computer at the moment.

 

I am pretty sure the command is /loadmap mapname however the map you are trying to load must be somewhere inside of the maps folder. also this is the kag classic part of the forums. Next time if you need help for the full game then go to that section of the forums :)

 

my bad, i only started using forums this week so i'm still getting used to it. thanks for the help and being a friendly person.
