Adding custom maps in Origin's C&C Ult. Coll.

[Gen_Punishment]

Does anyone know the exact folder to drop them in? I've tried every variation of the 'maps' folder but nothing works (they don't even show on the maps list). 

Also just saying "the main folder" doesn't mean anything. Please be specific as there are plenty of folders to choose which could be the main folder.

I also only have either 'battle' or 'free for all'. There are no other game options available. Has anyone else encountered this?

@Gen_Punishment I'm Having the same issue. I've tried putting them in the main folder where the installation was, also tried putting them in maps/custom, but they're not showing up for me either.

None of these people, including you, have even mentioned which game they are talking about. The original question in this thread was about Red Alert 2, and, like all games older than C&C Generals, it acts a lot different than the newer ones, since these older games don't use the windows Documents folder. The only place they are capable of checking is their own installation folder.

The main game folder is just the first folder after Origin games folder. Once you download your maps and extract them to .yrm file, just place the .yrm file into the folder after the Origin games folder. No sub folder needed. Then restart Origin or EA app and boot up Red Alert 2, etc. You have to play most downloaded mod maps under the Battle mode within Skirmish. The new maps will be at the very bottom of the maps list. Good luck!
