ARCHIVE DATABASE

[ INSTALLATION PROTOCOLS ]

Follow these steps to successfully deploy archived maps:

1. EXTRACT the downloaded folder (e.g., zm_canterlot_high_3643175048) into the usermaps folder located in your main Black Ops 3 directory.
2. RENAME the folder. The method depends on your download source:
   • Standard Archives: Simply remove the numerical ID suffix.
     Example: Change zm_canterlot_high_3643175048 to just zm_canterlot_high.
   • CATBOX Links: You must retrieve the correct internal folder name.
     1. Navigate into the downloaded map's zone folder.
     2. Open the workshop.json file in a text editor.
        [ View Example File ] *This link is for structure reference only. The actual data inside varies for every map.
     3. Locate the "FolderName" key inside your specific map file.
     4. Rename your main folder to match that value exactly.
3. VERIFY that opening this folder immediately shows the zone folder inside.
4. ENGAGE: The map should now appear in your in-game map list.

[ Archive Locations ]

This is where I am storing data currently:

1. Megadrive
2. Archive.org (Only some will be hosted here occasionally)
3. FebBox (Account needed for fast download. I would use a burner account, otherwise speeds will be limited to 1MB/s)
4. Local storage (backup in case links die)
5. Catbox for very small maps up to 200MB
