[TUTORIAL]How to reskin a stock map

[Anyder]

As some friends asked me for basic tutorial, there u go:

Note 1) Before I start, first of all you have to create a map in \BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD by running Modtools VisualMunge and then creating ur map, after that just....

Note 2) The name I gave to my created map is LEL, so my folder for modding swbf2 stuff is called data_LEL

1. Browse to the world that you want to edit such as MOS, DEA, ...  in the following folder \BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\TAT

2. Copy folder into your mod worlds folder (\data_LEL\worlds\TAT\)

3. Basically now u can edit whatever u want, so edit the textures, sky, terrain or whatever

4. Once you've finished editing your map, just go to the \BF2_ModTools\data_LEL\_BUILD\ and run Modtools VisualMunge.exe

5. Choose your map (TAT, or the map u edited) and click on munge, after it gets munged a window telling u to run BF2 will pop up. Accept it.

6. Go to the \BF2_ModTools\data_LEL\_LVL_PC\ folder and look for the map(s) you edited. If it's TAT, for example, you'll have the tat2.lvl and tat3.lvl files in that folder.
Just replace them with the ones you have now or rename the originals and paste there the new ones.


I hope I haven't forgotten anything, but if I have just post it here

This process is so similar to the SWBF1 editing shipped maps..

Sorry for bumping the topic .

I have a little problem: I have copied the "KAM" folder in order to play on kamino...and I've done all the steps...just I don't want to modify the world so I didn't touch the w.l.d file, I selected "KAM" in the Munge's world box....No Munge problem...all good! But When I play it's always in the poor, flat stock map 

All help is welcome!

I recommend just using this tutorial, it reduces the file size and you only need to munge a new LVL with new textures.
