Maps in Colonies cannot be updated and it is not uncommon for bugs to be found in early versions of CPACKs and fixed for later versions. If the custom content in the CPACK included custom units, they can be placed from the mods tab of the mission editor. CPACKs can depend on each other, especially those that were designed to be additions to other CPACKs.CPACKs can rely on the map creator to input map details, such as coordinates or unit IDs.Two such examples are that PAC maps assume the existence of a blank ADA message named ‘Display’ and FPS maps require the Suit Upgrader unit is placed on the map if you want to upgrade. CPACKs can depend on certain map elements, game rules or the existence of a unit on the map.If the CPACK is not working as you intend, you will either need to troubleshoot it yourself or get someone else to troubleshoot it. Some CPACKs are coded under certain assumptions about other map elements if those elements are missing or different, the CPACK might not work as intended. Repeat step 3 for all CPACKs you want to import.Įxporting and Importing a CPACK is no guarantee that it will work how you think it will.Now click the Import button and select the CPACK you want to import.These are steps 2 through 4 of Exporting a CPACK. Open the CPACK Manager using the same process as when you exported the CPACK.Go to the map you want to add the saved CPACK(s) to.Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all CPACKs you want to export.Click the Export button at the top to save the currently selected CPACK to a file on your computer.To select a CPACK, look at the top left of this menu for a drop down menu to the right of the text CPACK. Go to the mods tab of the Mission Editor menu is a button labelled Open CPACK Manager, this will open a new menu that will take up the majority of the screen.

If the button is not there, try hitting your Edit Map keybind again. There should now be a green Editor button in the very bottom right of your screen, click it to open the Mission Editor.Enable edit mode by default the keybind is SHIFT+E, if that doesn’t work look in your controls for the ‘Edit Map’ keybind.
