Changing the Default Sky

By default, the template map uses the sky file from Yavin. Changing this is a fairly simple thing to do. Browse to the world that you want to use the sky file from (again, I’ll use Kashyyyk as our example) in \BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\KAS\world2 and copy the sky file (kas2.sky) into your mod worlds folder (\data_abc\worlds\abc\world1) and rename it to abc.sky (where abc is the 3-letter name that you gave your world when you first created it). Open up that sky file, and search for which assets are used by the sky file, and you’ll need to copy those assets into your mod level’s world folder (\data_abc\worlds\abc\world1). They will be a/some sky .msh files, and some textures. Only worry about files that are actually located in the assets\worlds\KAS\world2 folder. If there are files that the sky file is looking for that aren’t located there, then don’t worry about those.

i understand the top part just not this

Never ever ever stop a munge, and just leave it alone for awhile, like 2 hours, or if you fell like it, a day, but after 2 hours, its probably frozen.
Not sure what to do after that .

Some Objects take hours to munge (example Majin's Commando or Squipple's grass object. ) but you never stop a munge. Or later on you'll screw yourself over. A clean pretty much deletes everything then you have to munge it all in one munge(unless it's sides the several long munges.)

Im having some trouble with my sky, I took all the sky files from the geonosis folder, re-named them, cleaned and munged, but nothing happened. I did the manual clean, and munged, so im not sure what to do.
do I put all the files in my world1 folder?
