It should be in the LOT directory. Here it what it's about:
..::How to change map files.::..

Something that DMOD authors always want are more map blocks. In FB3 there aren't more screens, but there are multiple map files. There is a little user-end work involved, but it is pretty simple.

If you have questions, email me.

Changing map files is like changing CD's in a playstation game. You don't want to throw out the first CD when you put the new CD in obviously. You put the first CD in it's case and then get the second CD out.

This is the same principle when you are changing map files.

1.) First you select the ---'Map.dat' & 'Dink.dat'--- files located in the "LOT" folder.

2.) Copy these files and paste them in the folder called "MAP1".

3.) Now open the "MAP2" folder and select the files called ---'Map.dat' & 'Dink.dat'---.

4.) Copy these files and paste them in the 'LOT' folder.

NOTE: (Be careful not to overwrite the file if you haven't made the copy or else you will have to reinstall the map file from the included maps.zip file).

Quick instructions:

-- COPY ---'Map.dat' & 'Dink.dat'--- from "LOT" folder and PASTE it in the "MAP1" folder.
-- COPY ---'Map.dat' & 'Dink.dat'--- from "MAP2" folder and PASTE it in the "LOT" folder.

***Folder names are in double quotes and in caps like this --> "FB3" ***
***File names are in single quotes, and lower case like this --> 'map.dat' ***
