did you put both files into a folder with the map name and that folder into the Maps folder?

about the save directory: im not sure about generals maps.

I had same problem last year, just can't remember how i fixed it.
Have you ever added an unnoficial map to your list? if yes then....try zip the map file, i don't think it will work but until i remember what i did last time, thats it.

are you sure that you have no bad character in the map name e.G. a "."?

that will prevent them from showing up too.. but the name wartorncity should of course work.....

also if your map is an edited official map out of the Maps.big then they wont show up either.

your .tga file really has to be named wartorncity_art.tga and not just wartorncity.tga?

is it really like that in generals?

Did you name the map under Edit Map Setting with world builder? If so remove the name.

Can you upload the map using the forum interface by clicking the box that says "Attach files to this post?", then uploading the file after clicking Post?

I will note, when making a map with WB you don't add a name under settings and you use the "Save As" link and name your map. You don't modify file names within the folder that is created for the map. These names must match, so if you have done some editing, re-save the map, then double check that files match folder name.

You might also try moving the MapCache.ini file found in your maps folder to your desktop temporaily (so you can put it back if needed) then launch the game. My thought is that the game will re-create the file based on the maps if finds in this folder. Of course if this doesn't work you can move that file back, but I'm thinking maybe this file needs to be reset. You can also open this file with notepad and scroll down till you see the map name, note the pathway and name will be stretched out. If you find it, look for "isOfficial = no". If it says "isOfficial = yes" change it to "isOfficial = no".

That's all I can think of. Good luck.

Edit: How do I extend my border? The bold blue line shown after Ctrl+I is hit. It turns out my map has been showing up all along but only in multiplayer, not skirmish. Only problem is the outer edges of the map are cut off. Tried the Border Tool but that didn't let me change anything really.
