How do I load the map I created in my project?

did you create a separate map file? if so load up the project you worked on, and follow the image below.

one project file can contain many different levels. but the first level created is usually always loaded by default. so if you created your new level on a First person shooter template. the basic block level will be loaded first.

do what i have done in the image. and look for your level name.
