I have been searching and searching for how to use moded stock scripts but come up empty. I understand how to mod them and have done so with shipped map lua scripts. What I cant figure out is where to put things after I munge the stock map scripts. If there is a walkthrough for this please forgive me but I cant seem to find one.
My goal is to add new classes to stock maps but I cant seem to find out what to do affter the lua scripting is done and munged.

Re: modding stock map lua scripts
It's pretty simple.
Create a new map and copy all the stock scripts to ...\data_MAP\Common\scripts\MAP and edit them as you like. Then add all the names of the modified scripts to mission.req in ...\data_Data\Common and you're done.
This way you don't need to replace the original files.

Re: modding stock map lua scripts
To expand on what Locotus said, just look at this tutorial: Era/Mode Side Mod Tutorial (FAQ). It is intended for custom era's/modes, but you could essentially do the same thing for the stock maps modes... (You're actually better off making a custom era, but the choice is yours. :)

6) Go to your 'mission'.req file (in the 'common' folder in your map) and edit the script files it says. It should have something along the lines of 'XXXc_con', 'XXXg_con' (where XXX is your maps three letter id). Add the name of the script you modified. So if you added era 'a' to mygeeto conquest, add 'myg1a_con' to your mission req.
7) You'll need to add a req file for that mode to your data_XXX/Common/mission folder. This contains the req files for all stock scripts. Say we added a script called 'myg1a_con.' Copy the 'myg1g_con', rename it 'myg1a_con', open it, change the line 'myg1g_con' to 'myg1a_con'.
8) Change your addme lua. RED51 explains how to do it in this link.
9) Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 for any scripts you have.
10) Munge and play.
