When you place this mine in ZE, in the little team box put the team number (REB = 2, CIS = 2, REP = 1, IMP = 1.)

You put them in your data_xxx\Worlds\xxx\msh and if there is not already a msh folder there, make one.

Place it like any other object.

So by that, I guess you have no knowledge of basic mapping? I suggest you look at the shipped documentation and FAQ topic in the SWBF2 Modding forum and learn how to use/understand ZE first before attempting things like "prop mines" and such.

In your ODF just right above [Properties], be sure you have the line:

Code: Select all

GeometryName = "[insert-name-of-mine].msh"
This way it'll appear in ZE.

Yes... but you have to replace [insert-name-of-mine] with the actual name of the MSH of the mine.

If that's the msh your odf calls for, then yes.
