Need help with .sgb map files

[sgtslaughter21]

I cannot get .sgb map files to work. I followed the directions from the " Directions to CoH for Dummies" and set up a scenario and mp folders in the CoH folder but they still do not show up when i load the game up and try to play them. Some examples of the maps I have dled are Ardennas Village.sgb and Operation Market Garden.sgb

Any tips on what im doing wrong would definitely help

Maps are very specific to what version their for. Maps made for one version of the game won't work on any previous version, and often won't work on some future game versions either. You never mentioned what version of the game your running, so it's quite possible that is the reason why.

Also, did you modify your game's shortcut to include -dev? You need to do that to have .sgb maps to even show up, and i think the Guide did mention that.

Finally, did you install the map files to your Company of Heroes/WW2/Data/Scenarios/MP folder, and NOT have them within any other folders? So you should have all the loose .info, .sgb and .tga files mixed up in the MP folder.

I put all the loose files that came with each download all into the folder, but i have not put the .-dev file into the shortcut. I run the Coh Gold version.
Thanks

Well there's your problem! .sgb maps require you run the game in -dev mode, even the Guide to CoH for Dummies the title for the .sgb maps section suggests you need -dev, and it explains how to set up your shortcut (on page 7 i believe). It probably could have been clearer on the matter, but that thing's been in need of a serious update/revision for the last 8 months or so.
