Where to put the map files on GNU/Linux?

[ParkerD]

Hi, I hope, I am not totally blind, but I have downloaded some maps and I cannot find the place to put them. Not via Google, not in the forum, sorry.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 and all I found was this article: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Atlas_Tricks
Unfortunately I did not find those directories. Maybe I have used find and locate wrong, but I am stuck now. I did not find an import function for map files either. Does anyone know the answer?

The folder that you are looking is a hidden one so toggle "Show Hidden Files" in the view menu of your file browser any folder or file that starts with a "." is hidden this is for all Linux and OSX file systems then go to /home/yourusername/.local/share/0ad/mods/user notice the .local

Thanks Loki1950! Ah, I've looked there, but only for a "maps" folder. But I think I still do something wrong. I copied the map files (xml and pmp) directly into "/home/myusername/.local/share/0ad/mods/user/" and on another try I copied the folders, containing the files. Unfortunately, I was not able to find the maps in 0 a.d., neither under scenario nor skirmish nor random.

The maps folder is only created when there are maps in it so try creating one in the Atlas first.

Wow, that one is hard to figure out by yourself. But thanks, it worked and I sure will enjoy!
