How can i identify FA v SC maps

[rameth]

Ive got tons of maps, but how do i identify if they are for FA or Vanilla, of will all maps work under both

[noobymcnoobcake]

All maps will work with FA. its just that the SC markers are not as good as the FA markers as the SC maps do not have the FA markers.

there is no methode for this except testing it ingame but here are some "guidelines"

- all maps without any special scripts (means survival or something like ZoneControl) will work if

- they do not contain an elevation that goes significantly over the the normal elevations (they will just turn black ingame)
- they have no civilean buildings that are no longer contained in FA (there are only a few such as the BlackSunCannon)

Most maps within fa forever are built for supcom fa and not for vanillia i think there my be a way just not sure.
All maps are created with the same editor that was built for vanillia but there is a new 1 hanging around on the web that was built for fa maps more.

The black area can be easily recovered by the user:
Go 'In-game' Options
Interface tab
Map Border -- OFF

If you play FA against the AI on any map that does not contain a set of FA markers the AI will immediately bitch...
'I'm blind - there aren't any markers'
All TeamPlayAI maps have a full set of FA markers
Search 'TeamPlay' in Vault
