Try saving the map to your desktop, then run a search for the "LucasArts" folder. Create another "CustomMaps" folder in the existiing "Data" folder and place your map there.

depends on the mod, some mod's require the map to be re-mapped in order to work with a shipyard system or custom starting units. But most mods will support custom maps.

that mod is for foc so yo have to map with the foc map editor to make everything work ( base structres and markers) and then save it in Foc/data/costummaps the skrimish mapping is not the same in foc you need to place multiplayer strctures instead of those from groundbuildable or specialstructures

**NOTE: maps do not have to go in a custommaps folder**
can you find it in the file (not in game but though the windows explorer) - this is a no then look skip to the '"rights need" and read

if you found the maps file then open up Z's mod and add to his mod with using this path by adding a
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods\z3r0x\Data\Art\Maps

then test it in game - it should work now

'"rights need"
if you did not find it but you can still edit it in the map editor then you need to set the "Privilege Level" for the program

to do this you need to right click on the exe or short cut and then select the "Compatibility" tab and check the "Run this program as an administrator" box and then click apply

if it will not let you find the owner of the PC and have them log in and to do this right click on the exe or short cut and then select the "Compatibility" tab and click the button that says "Show settings for all users" and have the check the "Run this program as an administrator" box and then apply

now if the 2nd didn't now do the 1st, and this should fix your issue

A quick question, how do you place new modded units on maps in the FoC editor?
