Having played all the included maps I wanted to download a map from widelands.org and use it in Wideelands but I don't see instructions on how to do that. Is that because I haven't written them yet (being that it's opensource)?. I can as soon as I figure it out. It seems that on the Maps Download page there should be a head that says "Place maps in ...."

I ran strace on Widelands and it looked for a ~/.widelands/maps directory so I made that directory and placed the map in there and it loaded fine. I'm going to put this on my website so that way the next time I forget and google it I'll get the instructions. I think that on the maps download page here there should be a short explanation about how to use these maps.

Hi grantmasterflash, good to see you found the solution yourself and yes you are completely right, that those instructions should be placed somewhere on the maps download page - maybe a link to a wikipage explaining the way to go for different operating systems. I opened a bug report for this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands-website/+bug/1106783
