Editing Custom maps (section)

=== Linux ===
* The method described below does not over-write the existing map files
* Installing the dds-maps can be done while the game is running.
* We assume the map-pack you have downloaded is called ''MapPack.zip'', replace the name where applicable. For some reason most map packs come as zip-files, use the appropriate man pages to find the correct commands or use GUI tools, such as [http://utils.kde.org/projects/ark/ Ark] in other cases.
* We assume, you've downloaded the map pack to your desktop.
* '''One:''' Open a terminal application (Terminal, Konsole, xterm, etc.)
* '''Two:''' To extract the dds-files run
 mkdir -p ~/.elc/updates/1_9_5/maps/
 unzip -j ~/Desktop/MapPack.zip -d ~/.elc/updates/1_9_5/maps/
''~'' is expanded to your home directory; replace 1_9_5 with the current client version and replace ~/Desktop/MapPack.zip with the path to the zip file you downloaded.

Now you are all set. If you want to get rid of the custom maps or parts of them, you can simply delete the appropriate dds file, respectively, from ''~/.elc/updates/1_9_5/maps/'' (note that the folder ~/.elc/ should show up as a "hidden" folder if you are using a file manager).
