Cool! Thanks for the excellent idea! Will have a look how this can be implemented. What I also remember from the old times as a (younger) newbie: I always forgot how and where to install a map. This is a service that could also be provieded by the map converter. Thanks a lot!

They are probably using a mod like modern gui

Hey, just made me think of something for your map converter. If there was some repo or directory or something of maps, you could have a map browser in your tool that browses that, and then you can download and convert them all within your tool

...but isn't that an additional option ? Personally i would like to have a maps repositiory somewhere so that I can start converting old maps to make them playable with current versions. (Have been crawling through the past and found some interesting ones already)  

@Adriano0ad That's phantastic! Obviously you solved the pathfinder challenge for roads! Can the roads also be built by the players in game or are they pre-defined in the map? when existing, can any player use them?
