INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAYING COH WITHOUT STEAM
Installation
Extract the archive into
c:\documents\my games\Company of Heroes\ww2\data\scenarios\MP
if doesn't exist create it.
NOTE: You need to lauch CoH in -dev mode to use the maps!
If you don't know how read below.
Make a new shortcut for the game.Now make right click and choose properties.
You will see that
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe"
Put the cursor in the end and press the space bar and write -dev.
It will look like this
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -dev
Now you are ready.
Tip: if you write in the end -nomovies the intro of the game is skipped.
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -dev -nomovies
Here you can watch a video how we install a map
What about Steam version?
ReplyDeleteHello my friend.Until one month ago (that i check) i had a problem(i don't know the reason) with my sga files.Coh couldn't read them.Now (that you reminde me) i test it and it is ok (still don't know what happend) so i will upload all my maps and to SGA format.
DeleteThank you or your interest.
Where is the Steam download link?
ReplyDeleteHi.I don't have anything to install.Is the instructions how to install a custom map, when you use steam to play coh.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I already followed your instruction how to play coh without using steam and it worked. But, why everytime I click the map and it suddenly crashed ><
ReplyDeleteHi.Well sometimes maps that is SGA format suddenly stop working.I don't know why.In past i had upload some sga maps.If you are using them is better to delete and download SGB format.I have stop using and create sga format.SGB format doesn't have that problem.
ReplyDeleteNow i don't know if you use my maps or someone else's maps,if you use sga or sgb format.
But what i can tell you is that the maps that you can find here (sgb format)
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM.
That means that if it happens to crash by using my maps (sgb format) means that something happened in download or in extract or something else.
I guarantee that my maps don't have any problem.
I have the same problem as Edzharid I've tried downloading different maps but it always end up crashing the game.
DeleteHi.As i answer to Edzharid yeah some SGA files had problem, so i delete them and never create again because they cause problem.You can download the SGB format files (is the files that is in the downloads-there is no SGA anymore-)Follow the instructions for the SGB format and you will not have any problem.The SGA file that you download you can delete them.
DeleteYou forgot to mention that you have to make a folder in MP to put your files in
ReplyDeleteHi.First of all there is no need to create folder.Besides if you make "Extract archive" or "Extract archive to (name of the file that you extract)" creates a folder even if you don't want.
DeleteSo there is no need to write that, cause the folder it is being creating by the program.
how to play custom maps at Europe at war mod without steam.I followed your construction but cant see any map on game.help me pls.Thanks :(
ReplyDeleteHi.First of all my instructions is for COH and NOT for mods.Mods create different folders, different locations for the map folders.
DeleteI haven't use this mod so i don't know where is the location of the maps.Try to locate the folder that has the maps and then just place them there.But also if this mod made before the 2.602 coh version then probably you can not play the maps.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI downloaded SGB files, opened them in Relaunch worldbuilder, extracted them to SGA, moved the SGA to the folder where all my working maps are at but when I go to the Skirmish screen, the games are not there.
If this is a repost, I apologize but some help is really appreciated.
Folder which the SGB is pulled from into Worldbuilder
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes Relaunch > ww2 > Data > Scenarios > mp
Once extracted out of Worldbuilder, the new SGA file is put in the Scenarios file in my Company of Heroes folder (non-relaunch)
I cut the newly extracted SGA to the path below where all my working maps are stored.
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes Relaunch > ww2 > Scenarios
But when I look for it in multiplayer and Skirmish, the maps are not there. I have had success downloading SGA maps and they work fine, but when I try to convert a SGB to SGA in Worldbuilder, the maps never appear in game.
Please help, I have seen this same problem on Relic Forums and Youtube but no real solution.

Hello and happy new year.First of all both routes are correct,where you pull the sgb and where you place the sga.But what i can not understand is do you use the worldbuilder from another version of coh?Cause when you export the sga file there is no need to cut it cause is already in the
Delete> ww2 > Scenarios.I just export a map just to be sure.I dont have the relaunch version but the normal 2.602 version.(is the same way).I have the map in
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes > ww2 > Data > Scenarios > mp i open the wb export and the sga file is on the
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes > ww2 > Scenarios. I run the game with out -dev and the map is there ready to be played.So no need to cut and place to another folder.Also something else that it may happens, (i dont know if you did this way or not but if you didn't then thats the problem) is that the map files must not be inside in another folder in the
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes Relaunch > ww2 > Data > Scenarios > mp
but direct to the mp folder.For example a map called River the files of the map must not be like this
Docs > My Games > Company of Heroes Relaunch > ww2 > Data > Scenarios > mp > River.But all files sgb and the rest must be direct to mp folder.
So if everything is like this and still you have problem then something else is going on,but when you export the sgb to sga only one thing is sure,that you dont need to move the sga file.Also you dont need to run the game in -dev mode for the sga files.
hi . i didn't install the game on drive c . and when i'm trying to put -dev at the end of target address , an error comes up . what is the problem ?
ReplyDeleteHi.It doesn't matter if you didn't install on c:\.What matters in the shortcut you create in target address is only to leave a space after the end and then to write the -dev.To look like this.
DeleteTarget: "C D or any letter is your disk you have install and the proper path that contains the reliccoh exe file. \Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -dev
or any folder sequence is your install.But in the end you leave a space and then you write -dev.Now if everything is correct as i describe above then your error is not because of the -dev but something else,so you need to read the log file (normally is inside the documents\my games\company of heroes folder and named as warning-you may have more than 1 so the most recent) and see what creates the error.
hi. i have a question regarding the compability of the custom maps to coh tales of valor...will this map work on it? because everytime i choose the custom map, it will cause an error saying "relicCOH has stopped working" please tell me what can be done to fix this sir. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi.If you mean the sga files of coh 2 yeah, of course it works but i dont know exactly in which version of coh 2 works.What i know for sure is that in the erlier version doesnt work.
