I just need somewhere to begin

###EDIT###
this is what I found from searchin...
you need hmt 3.5
only extract things from MP levels to MP levels, and vice-verse for SP levels.
1. open the map up in hmt 3.5
2. go to models (if thats what you want) extract the model that you want
3. open a new MP level (if thats what you want the model for) then import that model over the model you want to be new.
4. save and play.
this is the same for bitmaps.
gl
is this pretty much accurate or is there more detail in whats going on?
