RENAMING:
I'll be using el_alamein as an example
first extract if you haven't already the el alamein map to the c:\ drive...now go to c:\bf1942 (where you just extracted the el alamein map to )
with note pad open the Init.con file
look for origional map name,theres only 1 in here,now carefully delete the origional name and put in the name you want.If 2 or more words use _ for spaces.
El_Alamein to the_battle
now close it after renaming and when it asks to save changes choose yes
now open the Init FOLDER and in there open the terrain.con file in notepad
now there are 4 names to be changed in here,do same as first time,just rename but you have 4 to change.
and choose yes to save changes
last name-now you need to change the root folder also ( its in the c:\bf1942 folder-rename the el alamein folder to the_battle )change that name also..now your done
you should have changed 6 names
if your origional map was El alamein and you renamed it to the battle this is how it should look
the_battle
now this should be done first then packed up and put in the levels folder and tested before you continue with your map.
.saves alot of hassle trying to figure out why your map is crashing
below is what it should look like when your done changing names.. |

This is the init.con file in main folder-i used the_battle for a map name...this is 1 name that you must change..just carefully delete the origional name (el alamein)and put in your name..spaces use_ between words.

you might have already done this from above
and the last is the main extracted folder...El Alamein to the_battle (the actual folder)c:/bf1942/levels/ElAlamein folder to c:/bf1942/levels/the_battle folder.
