# Loading into game

After you have created a map, you need to move it to special folder to load it. The always up-to-date path is written in the lower left corner in the scenario editor.

At the moment it is:\
Android: Android/data/com.DenisMakhortov.ColdPath/files/\
Windows: D:/ (Attention! On windows, the file should not be named exported\_map, but ColdPathexported\_map. Also with the scneario file. Not game\_data.json, but ColdPathgame\_data.json Not critical yet, but it would be nice to fix and auto-create the Cold Path folder if it is absent)

So, you have created a map, put it in special folder. Next, go to the game. New Game - Map - select Custom Map. You will see map you created. Scenario that is there is automatically generated. There is only one country in it. This scenario is needed only in order to make your own based on it. Therefore, next you need to open Scenario Editor, select a custom map (Custom map), and create your own scenario for this map. Next, you need to export it (Export to JSON), then load it (Load scenario in the Dev menu in the settings). Done! You can play your scenario on your map!

How to play online? Currently unavailable. It will be necessary to write a some check for map for the players who join + test it well. I'll make it later

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://book.denismakhortov.com/guides/map-editor/map-editor-loading-into-game.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
