Opening custom map in-game?

[i8pptu]

What is the correct way to get a custom map to be opened in the game? For example, if I want to just run it in solo play and not on a server.
I tried putting my map in kfgame's maps folder, but when I use the command 'open mapname' in console the game crashes.

You simply go into the Solo play menu and then select the map from the map list like in KF1.

That's how I do it, at least.

Wow, thanks JokeTriple. I was getting frustrated over nothing.


-Edit Well I am still having it crash when I try to launch the map, so something else is going on.

what is the crash error on the log?

You can also right-click the .kfm file and select 'open with' and find your .exe files here;

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor2\Binaries\Win64

Good to see you around Fel, looking forward to your new maps.

I have no clue, I tried finding/looking into what I thought was crash log but I didn't get any information.

So is putting a custom map in the Maps folder the correct place to put it? And does it need to be in its own separate folder?(I'm guessing no)

Every time I've loaded a map, I gave it a separate folder as that's how the other maps do it. I haven't tried it another way, but I'd say give that a shot.
