Mapping, or called making new custom levels, is a type of the action of modifying levels. However, what makes custom maps (custom levels) entirely different from ordinary modified levels is, custom maps do not, or almost do not, contain any parts derived from default levels.

Mapping in Ballance
Generally speaking, mapping in Ballance, is much harder than almost any other games, which makes some mapping skills and mechanisms still unclear till now, even more than a decade after the release of Ballance.
Ballance Map Pack
History
In 2011 the first pack containing all custom levels till that time was released. In 2013, since too much maps had been available, the new version removed “bad works” and ordered the maps by difficulty.
Download
All custom levels are free to use and modify. The newest version of map pack is 7.5 (June 2019).

History
Default levels
The first 12 levels were released with the game itself, in April 2004. Another downloadable level, namely level 13 (“Speed”/“速度”), was released in September that year. Nowadays most Ballance setup packs already contain this level.
Virtools 2.1 is credited to be the software used to make this levels; however, since it is clear that Virtools can't do 3D Modeling, what apart from it is used remains unclear.
Custom levels
The first custom level was released in June 2009.
