I want to add an airfield to the existing "Slot" map. I have already D/L'd what I thought I needed to get map modding, but I havent found the "unlockedmaps" file.
Could someone please tell me all that I need to mod this map.
I can follow the tutes, but I need the appropriate files first.
So many different tools...I get confused.
Just want what is needed at the mo.

Appreciate your time on this VP, I look forward to giving this a go .
Many thanks.

Butch, there's an excellent tutorial at the ultrapack site by Boomer, if you haven't seen it already:

http://ultrapack.tuttovola.org/index.php/topic,1977.0.html

Good Luck!

Thanks KB...I had seen that and had already started there. But for some reason I didnt get the 'unlockedmaps' folder, so I had no luck in saving the map.
Been trying to do a work around since.
Just re-downloaded map kit and I see the unlocked maps folder present...will try this again.
Thanks.

OMG... ???
I swapped files last night 'till my kidneys caught a chill!
Come to realise Boomer what you just explained in your post.
I am going to give this another go, as you say Boomer with the manual placement of files,
hopefully I havent muddied up my structures too much already! 
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

This is not going well...
Firstly, by replacing the bldconf. with the one above (by VP) it does not unlock FMB.
But, by using the file supplied by Boomer which is activated in JGSME, the FMB does unlock.
So thats what I do to unlock it.
Next, I have created a 'maps' folder in root directory.
This is supposed to save the modded map file, but, does not save there.
When I try and save the modded map in unlocked FMB, a messaged appears at the bottom of the screen saying
"Save Failed, cannot find Map_t path". (or something close to that).
So for some reason the altered map is not being saved.
Can anyone help?
