Is it possible to edit mod maps that you download from filefront with the modtools? Right now, I can only munge stock maps that came with the game, now I want to edit maps that I download from filefront.

The only thing you can do is hex edit mission.lvl to have different units, if you know what you're doing.

Re: Is it possible?
This is like seriosly wrong, not the info, the premise, editing someone elses map, without there permission, that VERY wrong
, the farthest i go, is to add a pseudo side/era mod to a prexisting map, as almost everyones conquest layer is ???_conquest.
end note WRONG
WRONG WRONG
WRONG WRONGXX!!!

I've tossed Dark Times sides onto others' maps before just to try them out, and it's usually not a problem at all - just don't release them without permission of any authors whose material you're using.
