Re: [QUESTION] short question

Hiho, i figured it out some minutes ago:

appadata\Teeworlds\maps
  Every saved map by you.

data\maps
  These are the official maps. I guess it's a prevention so you can't overwrite them when saving because maps in THIS folder aren't listed in the saving-screen. Maps here are displayed at the bottom of the open-screen (Map-editor) though.

Imagine the /maps folder as the installation (could be @c:\programs) and not write-accessible by regular users. Your teeworlds settings directory is a per-user setting, so each user on a system can download (and install) his own maps into it.
