  • The way the Directional Lighting and backgrounds are used to create a certain "atmosphere" or "mood" to the map.
  • There will be an overall winner and two sub-category winners, one for best Map and one for best Mission.

Entries will be judged by the Legacy Files Staff, some external staff from other sites may also be consulted if necessary. There is no special preference, anyone can enter and anyone can win.

- How to Unlock the Map Editor
To unlock the Map Editor, you need to have patch 1.1 installed firstly. You need to create two files in your Legacy root folder, called "unsupportedextension_mapedit" and "ATVI" (both without quotes). They need to be empty files so create two empty text files and get rid of the .txt extension from their filename. Then edit the properties of your Legacy desktop shortcut by right clicking on it and selecting properties. Add to the end of the Target line;
"/edit myfirstmap.sol"
Without the quotation marks.

Change "myfirstmap" for the name of your new map and start up the map editor by clicking on the desktop icon you just edited.
