I have been trying to create copies of maps so I don't screw up the existing ones, but unable to get the Map Editor to recognize them. I must be doing something wrong. It looks to me that the Map Editor has no ‘Save As’ feature; so what I have been doing is going into the Map Folder in ‘Windows Explorer’ and creating copies of the map files that way, but when I go back into the Map Editor to open and modify these new map files they are not shown in the drop-down list. So I was hoping that some one could tell me the correct way to produce new maps (in the sense of adding statics, trees, trenches, etc.) from the ones provided in the game?
It is my understanding that you need to create a new map for each scenario/mission you create unless you want the same (trees, trenches, statics, etc.) in the same locations for all the missions using this map. Or are you editing some other file associated with the map file that actual stores the information of the trees, trenches, statics and etc. per a particular mission?
