Hey guys,

I remember there was a topic made by Anakin asking how to change the vehicles of a stock map without rebuilding all the map and the answer was to make and load only a world layer with the new vehicles spawn points.

I'd like for someone that has made this to explain in detail how this is done, because I really don't know how to do this and it was not explained at all in the old topic.

Thank you very much!

It's something I'd love to know as well. IIRC Napseeker did it in SWBF1 with his 'mission maps' but I don't know if he ever disclosed what he did.

Here's what I did when I added a new layer/mode to stock Kamino called Extraction. My three character ID is going to be RCE in this example:

1. Copy stock Kamino's effects, msh, munged, odf, and world1 folders to E:\BF2_ModTools\data_RCE\Worlds\RCE.

2. Open kamino1.wld in ZeroEdit. Go to CHANGE: under Active Layer:, and add a new layer called extraction.

3. After making your changes to this layer, go to CONFIGURE: under Game Modes:. Remove extraction from the first [Common Layers] column. Add extraction as a new mode in the middle [Mode Name:] column, and make it only use the extraction layer in the last [Layers Used:] column.

4. Click on Update World REQ and Mode MRQs. Save and exit ZeroEdit.

5. Open up kam1.req. Edit it so that it only contains the following: 6. And in your .lua file, in addition to loading stock Kamino conquest, you would also load this layer you just created like this:

I've made a quick test map to try this out (added a LAAT to the stock geonosis) and it worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot AQT, great step by step tutorial, a perfect answer to any modding question!
