Introduction
UPDATE 21/nov 2021:

These are current maps. Download link and instruction in below section.

This is a map mod for RUSE, creatively dubbed Multiplayer Map Pack R.U.S.E Map Frenzy) , it adds several campaign maps and many altered multiplayer maps to the Battle and Multiplayer modes of RUSE. All the maps should be decently enough balanced so that you can have enjoyable and entertaining fights on them! While on some maps the amount of starting $ in the depots has been increased, NO other changes have been made to gameplay.


Battle of Monte Casino 1v1/2v2
This map just uses a portion of the map that contains lot's of city squares and forests. Amount of depots and their placement was done with 1v1 and 2v2 in mind.


Strongholds 2v2
Same depot amount and placement as the 1v1 version but with more money in them. New HQs added close to the original ones for 2v2, replaces the 1v1 Strongholds map in lobby.

A bridge too far 2v2/3v3/4v4
Two semi-large areas to be contested for depots, should be fit for multiple modes.

Kasserine Pass 3v3/4v4
The depot placement on this map was done with 3v3 and 4v4 in mind. Both teams start with some safe depots, but have to expand to gain more resources. While depots and a direct route to the other teams spawn give reason for the valleys to be contested, teams will also have to expand north into the desert and toward the city in order to secure even more income.

Avant toute chose, n'oubliez pas qu'une fois que le mod sera installé, vous ne pourrez jouer qu'avec ceux qui l'ont également installé ! Si vous jouez des parties en ligne classiques avec des personnes que vous ne connaissez pas, il est possible que des bugs apparaissent.

Clause de non-responsabilité : Comme pour n'importe quel mod, vous installerez celui-ci à vos propres risques, nous ne serons pas responsables si des problèmes surviennent lors de l'installation.
Il est donc fortement recommandé de sauvegarder vos fichiers de jeu ainsi que vos replays avant de commencer à faire quoi que ce soit.

Installation :

1. Télécharger le mod depuis ce lien : https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hd8hvtbr6cjnm6/RUSE%20Multiplayer%20Map%20Pack.zip?dl=0

2. Extraire le fichier Zip avec 7zip ou Winrar

3. Lancer l'installateur situé dans "RUSE Modded folder" pour installer le mod. Celui situé dans "RUSE Original" désinstallera le mod précédemment installé.

4. Profiter de ces nouvelles maps !

Nous le rappellons une dernière fois : une fois que le mod est installé, ne jouez qu'avec des personnes le possédant également, ou bien des problèmes tels que des déconnections, des désynchornisations ou des bugs graphiques peuvent apparaître.

Thanks to supercrumpets and tech for their guide, crumpets again for answering my spammy questions (^^), the wargame modders for their tools, Soul for the German translation and Suroh for the French translation, Maghz, Swiss, Steamroller, Soul, Black, Aquila, *insert person I forgot* for helping out with map design ideas.
More to come...?
Due to modding the files being very time consuming and exams coming up, I won't have that much time to work on the mod in the immediate future. Of course if the mod is well recieved there'll be more incentive to work on it and vice versa.

Don't forget to like the mod :)

I added you to try and figure out how to fix it

Prolution doesn't have an installer you have to find each file location and manually overwrite the data in said folder. For yours it created a new 64 (with a 99 sub-folder inside of 64) and 99 folder and placed files inside on its own plus it overwrote the datamap_win.dat file in the 1360 folder which is pretty easy to notice seeing as your datamap file is smaller than the vanilla file (31.2 MB vs 31.5 MB). There could be other stuff that was changed but I haven't found it yet, and in game I just have the vanilla maps, I am pretty sure the DLC maps should NOT be showing up as I don't have the DLC's but the campaign ones should be there but for both your mod and prolution I don't see any new maps.

(Keep in mind that I did use your mod installer to revert to the original game files and then installed prolutions mod just to make sure there weren't any file conflicts).
Erased  [author] 27 Jul, 2022 @ 5:20am 
did it create a new folder too when installing prolutions?
Erased  [author] 27 Jul, 2022 @ 5:20am 
hmm, if it's creating a new folder it sounds like somethings wrong with the path

Was the path you gave to the installer something similar to ".../Steam\steamapps\common\R.U.S.E" ? it should be the ruse base folder

I know I am a bit late but I am running into an issue running the mod. The installer works perfectly from what I can tell and installs files to folder 64, 64/99 (a new folder that it creates within 64) and 1360 which seems correct considering other mods use these folders but in game nothing is changed, I still have all the base game maps but none of the campaign ones (I do not have the DLC's), any idea why this might be happening?

Prolution's mod has the same issue https://www.moddb.com/mods/ruse-campaign-map-pack-by-prolution/downloads/balanced-campaign-maps-by-prolution though in that case you need to manually install them which is easy enough but in game, just like with your mod, I am still playing vanilla R.U.S.E.

Any help would be much appreciated.

how do I download it ?

Hello,

I wanted to know if its possible to split / change the spawn point in :

- in A bridge too far 2v2/3v3/4v4 :
Can you put the HQ like in the campaign, Team 1 at the UK/USA spawn near the airport, and Team 2, the other spawn at the full opposit of the map, behind Arnhem for more fun please :D

- in Battle of Monte Casino 1v1/2v2 :
Can you make a 4 vs 4 version of this map ?
Because 60% of the map is not used, and split the spawn point of Team 1 near the sea - to the begining of the main campaign, and for Team 2, Around Monte Casino to the mountains near the end of the main campaign, not in the front of the base but more at the back of the map please.

I just wanted to know if its possible or not, to do it.
Do you have a patreon ?

Thanks in advance !

You can use my comment for the german version on this guide if you want to :D

German Version:

Vorab: Wie bei jeder Mod, installierst du die Mod auf eiegenem Risiko. Ich trage keine Haftung für schaden an Soft- oder Hardware.

Es wird empfohlen ein Backup deiner Spieldateien sowie Replays vor der INstallation zu machen. Sobald der Mod Installiert ist kannst du nur mit anderen Spielern spielen die AUCH diese Mod installiert haben! Dies gillt für ALLE Karten (Auch Vanilla).

1. Installiere die Mod von:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hd8hvtbr6cjnm6/RUSE%20Multiplayer%20Map%20Pack.zip?dl=0

2. Extrahiere die Dateien mit WinRar/7Zip oder ähnlichem.

3. Starte den Installer ,,RUSE modded''. Der Installer ,,RUSE Original'' wird die Mod deinstallieren.

4. Viel Spaß!



VERGISS NICHT DAS SOLANGE DER MOD INSTALLIERT IST, DU NUR MIT ANDEREN SPIELEN KANNST WELCHE DIE SELBE MOD INSTALLIERT HABEN. DIES GILLT FÜR ALLE MAPS (Auch Vanilla).
