Finally, got it.  I just went for the whole shebang.  Copied it all to D: drive, cuz Windows has no power there (muahaha), copied the whole map folder directly to the LVL_PC folder, and put the addon folder into the Data folder.  So something worked.

No computer is smarter than me

Thanks for the help.

That battlefront.exe is what I already had to run to work SIDE mods and the like.  The original installed Battlefront shortcut doesn't interface those mods either, so I was already running battlefront.exe from within the gamedata folder.

This is quite frustrating

That's how mine is.  Also in the addon folder is the "Tat3" map which I didn't add.  Maybe it was with the 1.2 patch? But that one similarly does nothing, if it was supposed to do anything at all

I know this isn't a mod, but I just put swbf onto my new windows 7 computer.  I don't have any problem with SIDE mods, but when I put map folders into my addon, they don't do anything.  Is something wrong? Or is there a way to put it into the original game files and not addon? Or is it something else entirely
Thanks for the help
