I'l show you here how to install worms 4 mayhem map which you downloaded in the game.
Default option
First of all, download the map you want. For example, download ThisgamedoesDragon.xan map from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QT9GZI7P
After you have downloaded, extract the map using Winrar somewhere in computer ( I recommend on Desktop , so you can see it immediately)
Then copy map ( In this example , map is called ThisgamedoesDragon.xan) to Worms 4 mayhem/Data/Maps folder. ( Folder Where you Installed Worms)
Map will replace existing This game does Dragon map with downloaded one.
So, make sure you back up your old map files.
But if you want to replace other map than ThisgamedoesDragon.xan you will have to rename it to map you want to replace.
If you look in your Data/Maps folder you will see a lot of maps.
You can replace your downloaded with any of these. I marked FastFoodDino.xan. So, if you want to replace this map rename your downloaded Thisgamedoesdragon.xan to FastFoodDino.xan.and copy it to Data/Maps where you installed worms.
Now your map will replace FastFoodDino.xan map in game.
You will know if you can replace downloaded map with another one if it says that it's selectable. UPDATE :
I will show you 3 Options by which you can add maps without replacing existing ones.
Option 1 :
In this discussion you'll find an interesting program: the map list editor. It allows you to add new maps into Worms 4 Mayhem without replacing the previous ones.
IMPORTANT: When you'll start wormsmaplist, you'll see that it is all in Russian! No problem: just press CTRL+L and open the file En.ing that is in the same folder of the wormsmaplist editor.exe! Once you've done it, close and reopen Wormsmaplisteditor again! Surprise: the program is in English
To edit map list click File->Open and select WORMS 4 MAYHEM exe. After that you will see a list of all maps(not only for multiplayer). To add new map click Edit->Add and enter the name of map. To delete map click Edit->Delete. To edit map info double click on map. You will see a window with a several textboxes. Fill them, select map file, image, scripts and press ok. When all is done click File->Save
How Add Map in Worms 4 list: 1. in folder data/maps/ put yourmap.xom, yourhmap.hmp, yourtexturelist.txt 2. in folder data/databanks/ put yourdata.xml
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xomArchive>
<xomObjects>
<XStringResourceDetails id='txt.yourMapName'>
<Value>YourMapName</Value>
<Name>txt.yourMapName</Name>
<Flags>64</Flags>
</XStringResourceDetails>
...
It should work, good luck!!!
First install both applications.
Use map pack editor to create your map pack. Picture below shows how you should do it. After you have done it, press File - Save map pack.
Save .exe file in Worms 4 Mayhem folder (recommended) and program will automatically create.mpl file in its installation directory.
Default one is C:\Program Files\W4MapPackEditor\iscc\maplists .
Next, open map pack launcher and select .mpl file of your map pack.
And yeah, play the game.
