Moved to the main Creation & Customization forum.

First thing you need to do is start the mod your going to play and before you do anything once you have a screen to start playing (and no buildings started) is go into WB and save it (name it what you want).
Then go into the My Documents area of BtS and look for the name of the map you just made.
Open the map in Notepad or whichever you use for looking at maps. Then look at the other map you have and in the map you want to use start making changes, but also make sure that 0 is always first, 1 is always second, in the Team area:etc

in the player section you can change whatsoever you want and where you want it, if you want Zulu's to have an American flag you can do that, so just play around but then always remember to never mess with anything that is an original copy, always have a back-up copy made and use that one.

I hope this helps, if anymore questions just ask.
