Sure, playing custom maps is Simple! Lol, I just love how I find myself including that word so often.
Anyway there are two ways to “install” maps, you can either do it by hand: http://www.smrsimple.com/2009/06/how-to-manage-custom-maps-by-hand/
Or use the program I got my friend to make: http://www.smrsimple.com/2009/07/how-to-manage-custom-maps-with-smrmapshifter-exe/
Either of those should work, post back if you have any problems.
ya i kinda get a runtime error when starting the map up…
adn the second link is a error 404…
but i get the part about putting the folder ws_sam into the custom map folder but what about the other folders like ws_trains ws_traincars the scenario file interface and industries? like i have instaled other maps before its just ive never seen like 6 folders in the same file…with no readme… do u know where to put em?

Ooops, thanks for mentioning that.
All of the map’s files should go into “usermaps” once unzipped. Now runtime error eh? Well that comes up when a resource is missing or not where the game expects it. My guess is that you put the custom map files in the correct place. Does the error ocure when you try and start the custom map you installed? Do you have any other custom maps installed?
alright i have tried it with all of the custom maps installed then i moved them to another document (some temp file) both failed…
the error happens when im launching the map (i think its when the loading deal says “building up steam”)
i did put all of the files in usermaps. The FOLDERS not the files themselfs.
o and im runing VISTA so that might be the problem.
and i GET random runtime errors all overthe place when im playting the game. and i have SMRI installed so yeah that might be it as well
“and i have SMRI installed so yeah that might be it as well”
Yup that will do it, follow this post for instructions on how to clean out that folder: http://www.smrsimple.com/2009/06/howto-empty-my-gamessid-meiers-railroads-before-adding-maps/
If you still want to play SMRI then you will not be able to use SAM mades while it is installed. As such you can wait to play SAM maps until after you have played through all of SMRI by removing the SAM files/folders you had added to usermaps.
Yeah still dosent work…
yet other “SAMS” do work. i think its just because this map is packed diffrently :S
so how exactly did u install it becuase i tried the map shifter tool and it didint do it properly…
Well if you are sure that this is the only SAM you have installed then I really can’t think of anything. I will try and find time to test this map myself to make sure it works, it should though.
Just delete the whole C:\Users\…..\My Games\Sid Meier’s Railroads! Folder (I mean completely), Start a game, it will create a new folder of the same name.
Unzip the map in the UserMaps folder.
You want to save your old Settings.ini
I guess you need to download the original West Sumatera Map,
