([Alternative guide by NuclearCheese for running Custom Maps](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1170578077))
There are two methods.
### Method 1: Version 1.8e / 1.85
The 1.8e beta version includes special features specifically to support Rabi-Ribi custom maps. This also works from 1.85 onwards.
1. Add the map files to `Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>`. (each custom map should be in its own folder)
2. After starting Rabi-Ribi, press F5 or F6 to open up the [custom maps menu](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27341392/30108930-ee520480-9336-11e7-9a82-bf40ca1ae89e.png). Select the custom map and start a new game.
2. Add map files (`area0.map`,`area1.map` etc etc) to the custom map folder (`Rabi-Ribi\custom\<your map name>`)
3. In Rabi-Ribi, press **F5** or **F6** to open the [custom maps menu](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27341392/30108930-ee520480-9336-11e7-9a82-bf40ca1ae89e.png). Select the custom map and start a new game.
