SUPER-G your map has errors with the waypoint and trigger area labels.
waypoint labels which need to be changed:
backdoor1 -> BackDoor1
backdoor2 -> BackDoor2
flank1 -> Flank1
flank2 -> Flank2
center1 -> Center1
center2 -> Center2

trigger area label which needs to be changed:
combatzone -> CombatZone

also your map is a generals map, the AI wont work properly in zero hour.

besides that the map looks ok to me.

Yooow, Super-G,

I just downlaoded the map, but how can I put it into generals? Where do I have to save it etc.

all you have to do is extract the files to:

command and conquer generals data > maps. then save it there.
in the game it should appear in the unnoficial maps section.

but i will take it into consideration...if my memory co-operates!😄

i have just tested it:

there was no difference with waypoint labels (which actually surprised me) but trigger areas do NOT work if the capitals are not the same as written in the script.

also the script showed ERRORS in both cases (Waypoint XYZ does not exist, AREA XYZ does not exist) so there is absolutely no reason to use only non-capital letters..

ok, i remember putting capitals on the trigger areas in my past maps, so you are problably right there.

but what do you mean by waypoint xyz?
how did the scripts show that error?

ps. this topic is for map requests not because i need help on them. if it doesnt work, the requester would let me know! lets settle this as:
capitals should be on trigger areas but not on waypoint labels.

is there anyone else who would like a custom map?

i never use capitals on labels and ALL of them work fine.
