How do I install an MPI map into 1.3, to get extra game options?

[General_Hoohah]

I understand that a 1.2 map will work with 1.3. However, you don't get any of the extra game options when you set up the game. Is there a special way to install an MPI map to get these, or anything I have to edit?

1.2 G66 was configured in-game once you started using a console that set the variables used by the DLL

[General_Hoohah]

I know what your saying Angel, but I'd like to state anyway that this is not for G66 1.3, just stock 1.3. Just so there is no confusion.

in the map inf files, or ini....or w/e it is...the one that starts with i....

use the 1.3 default mpi map for an example...

There is no such file... I searched the BZ2 folder, and looked through the PAK file. Nothing.

[General BlackDragon]

look in a mpi map folder...for an inf file...look in hilo
this is the inf file:
