		Love Bonno.

The extraction will automatically create a Maps folder in there. Otherwise, they'll show up in unofficial maps. Edited by user Sunday, September 18, 2011 11:11:26 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

The modified maps, placed in the game directory, will override the originals and will show up in the official section. That's how mods with custom campaigns are made.
