moding help

i was wondering if i can rip stuff from other maps so i can use them in other custom maps?

If you had a tool that would do the ripping, then in theory, yes.

But you should ask for permission from the map maker--there are SWBF2 modders that will not like you to just use their assets.

If you mean from some other game, then it may be possible, but not likely, and then you would need to be careful, as the game maker could come after you.  Such assets ripped from other games would not allowed to be posted about here.

actually wear is the best place to learn how to rig player models and set up vehicles for both space and ground maps, as well how to set spawn points, command posts, and vehicle spawns?

For SWBF and SWBF2, then you need to learn how to use Zeroeditor from the mod tools, and Softimage 7.5 mod tools.

There are many tutorials here and on GameToast on how to use these tools.
