ok here is what i did ,
i batch extracted it and selected only metadate and i said yes to bsp model then i went into vehicles and copied all the files in scorpian and made a new folder in vehicles nad names it bigfoot then i pasted all the files into it then i got a file renamer and made it change where scorpian was(it was spelt right that time) to bigfoot then i use JDcreator(thats the name i think....)and i use it to search inside the files and replace the scorpian name with bigfoot then i went into hmt and rebuilt map chosing the original map and chosing fill in the stuff automaticly and then under additional files i added all the meta files that were in the bigfoot folder(and sub folders) it came up with an error on the first bit(mapping tree index or whatever it said) please someone help

eh... no but i have to say i did it another way at first : Tyrant told me this: basicly i put 4 files in the folder that i wanted to change(the cannon and veh) with the meta and the xml of course and changed the 6th line to bigfoot in both xml and rebuild it then and it had no problems rebuilding then i did something to the lvls/test/bg something.schr or something named like that and i copied the thing with the scorpian in it to the line below it and change the location to the flag base and changed the names to bigfoot where scorpian was then tried to rebuild it (adding hte 3 files ) but it had an error at the start

then i tried it hte way that i stated first (sorta guessing what i had to do since i didnt really know what i was doing)

lol. glad i could help. yeah, the tutorial i found was alot easier than that change-every-single-file crap that everyone keeps saying. it may have its purposes, but it's never worked for me. the 4-file tutorial is much easier to do

i forget if it says this in the tutorial or not, but if you want to put in your duplicate vehicle (ex. Warthog2) and still keep the original warthog in the map as well, just go into sparkedit, inject the tag, then duplicate a vehicle on the map in sparkedit and swap it for the new vehicle.
