Look up Evans Creek on YouTube to see some really great footage of an excellent 4×4 area. It has everything, from water crossings to rock crawler areas and everything between. And then download this map and have that same area in Spin Tires. You can do logging runs as well but really this map is about low gear exploring of multiple paths through the forest. It also features a good rock crawl area and lots of incredible terrain layouts that have that realism feel to them. Excellent is one word to describe this map!
Good news. Evans Creek is now also playable in the latest_stable. Download this zip and copy paste the files into the Media folder. It replaces the Proving Grounds level.

Jan 04, 2016 3:04 amIf you want to use as the proving map your must rename it to level_proving.stg/level_proving.dds. If you want to use it as in Single or Multiplayer..
Name the map level_evans creek.stg/level_evans creek.dds. Add only the LEVELS folder to your clean media folder and you will be able to see the map and play online without renaming the map or anything. (if you add the classes folder it will crash out, custom objects arent supported yet).

Jan 10, 2016 2:26 am(want to play multiplayer/single)
When I insert the file into the spin tires folder I can see the map and when I go to start, it says missing or broken.
I did what you said about only putting levels in,
But still doesn’t work
PS: do you have any idea when maps will be added to the workshop?

Jan 10, 2016 8:14 pmDo you have anything else if your media folder? Did you clear your cache? Did you download the correct link for ST15?
Map works in single player and multiplayer, there are videos of us on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwkocP_rkJWFTGyBm2zERrg

Jan 08, 2016 10:19 am7z is just a better compression format then zip. Simply download 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) to unpack.

Jan 09, 2016 3:05 amThis isn’t working. Lets me load the map in multiplayer lobby, but grays out the “start game” button.

Jan 10, 2016 8:11 pmI am having no issues loading the map. We have played mp with this map on latest version of spintires. You CANT have anything in you media folder, ONLY LEVELS. And you also need to deselect certified mods.

Jan 12, 2016 2:42 amIf a suggestion hasnt been posted yet on what you guys are doing wrong, then I have no clue how to help you. These maps have been played by me and many others in single and multiplayer. Obviously something on your end.
Thanks – MoeRon

Jan 13, 2016 3:25 amI followed your directions Moe. I copied only the levels folder content into my clean media folder. When I open an MP lobby, I can select the map, for which the thumbnail is just solid black, but there are no startup trucks and start game is grayed out. Any suggestions?

Jan 17, 2016 1:26 amYou must deselect certified mods to play online

Jan 17, 2016 7:04 pmit works now, i misunderstood, hands down one of the best maps ever… hard core 4×4…. we need more from you, and people need to understand these maps are for hardcore trails, not for logging..
this is spintires on CRACK.
it puts to use truck mods and really makes trucks WORK.

Jan 17, 2016 8:35 pmThanks man, new map in progress.

Mar 05, 2016 6:23 amJust in case anyone else is here looking for logging maps – you *can* do logging on this map using the standard trucks, but it is a real challenge. At least using the route we took, it may only be possible in MP just because of the giant volume of towing needed on steep slopes (you kind of have to be able to attach the winch while keeping the power down because the parking brake won’t hold you). You’ll need some sort of audio connection as you’ll find yourself shouting “argh, no, stop!!” to the person that’s towing you somewhere around 150 times. We completed the single objective in 4.5hrs with three people in MP. There are no log kiosks so it can only be completed in Casual mode.
Just wanted to post here in case people were tempted not to try it – this is an amazing map and extremely rewarding. I don’t want to give anything away but some trucks are better than others here, and be aware that long towing slogs up hills will munch through your fuel pretty fast.
If you’re looking for a tough MP logging challenge with the stock trucks, this is so far the absolute best map my MP group has tried.

Jan 28, 2016 2:35 amExcellent map. Took a couple tries, and by a couple I mean like 30. I had every issue described above but eventually it just worked. This map takes the game to the next level of awesomeness.

Feb 09, 2016 6:31 pmHOW TO GET IT TO WORK IN MULTIPLAYER
1.2. dont download latest stable, it will either say “game files differ” when you try to start the map OR old/missing files when you delete everything except levels.
1.2 delete proving.dds and proving.stg from levels folder
2. instead download the link above “level_Evans Creek_Wa ST15_replace_Proving”
3. delete every folder except levels
4. ???
5. PROFIT

Apr 18, 2016 1:53 pmExcellent map. Here is a brief video showcasing some of the areas. Extremely atmospheric landscape and a sense of achievement once you break through the treeline and admire the view.
