"C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn Of War\WXP\Data\Scenarios\MP" you might have to make those folders though and make sure you dont have another folder of the map in the MP folder with all the stuff or it won't show up. just put in the files

What he means is, when you actually add maps, they may create another folder. Copy the data in that redundant folder and paste them with the other maps. There goes the same with Badges and Banners.

When you click print screen you have to go into paint/whatever & click paste & then the image comes up & then save it as a .jpg

Because there are a lot of lazy people about who can't be bothered to actually look for things themselves.

You know when you go to make a new map you have to choose the mod version between Dawn of War or the Winter Assault version?

When i make maps in the winter assault version then save them and try to open them again to work on it some more, it opens it in the orinary DOW version. So there's loads of purple ? marks all over the place.

Can anyone tell me how to open a saved map and change the editor to the WA version?

Thanks and sorry if it's been asked before.
