A Question - How to MOD the game map?

[unmerged(15561)]

Hi I was hoping to tinker with the map at somepoint and make a small mod using this engine.

Can anyone recommend me any help guides/threads that would help me modify the physical nature of the map?
What sort of tools would work best, a basic & immediately step-by-step guide too would be good?

Thanks.

Map Mod Testing is where to look.

map modding is quite hard if you don't know how all the neccessary files relate to each other. The map mod testing thread is a useful starting point but I learn't to mod the map through trial and error (mostly error)

I think I know what you mean Thats what Ill have to do to. But a starting point is absolutely essential!

Thx again.

what sort of map are you trying to make. I only ask because you can just use one of the maps made by other modders. That's what I did for my mod, although I still havent recieved confirmation to use it I think most modders won't care if you did this.

most people do care if their work is used by other people, so its not wise to integrate somthing as complicated as a mapmod before having recived an answer.
