So, I downloaded the 1.5.2.1 and the winzip file for Global. How do I attached the global file to the triplea program?
Put the zip-file to the following directory:
Windows 7: C:\Users\YourName\triplea\maps
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\triplea\maps
You have to run triplea once before so that these directories are created.
But it will be a lot easier if you use the built-in downloader:
Start triplea, hit "Downloads Maps", enter the following link
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tripleamaps/triplea_maps.xmlclick "List Games". Then choose the maps you want and click "Install". That's it.
