    I would like to make a copy of ec usa to edit with the in game editor without ruining the normal one. I could not find anything that said how to do so. I tried putting ec into mods file and putting a edit behind the name in places where it said east coast usa also put authors 111111111 and beamng. it showed up in mods section of game but in level section it replaces east coast usa

    I'm working on it for you. You have to completely make a new map. Like a modded map.

    Watch this video. It will teach you how to make a map mod, like one in the forums.
    Also that isn't me who made the video. It's Erik Reinbold... And I think this is now solved...after you watch the video... YAY. This is my second solved question today!!

    In order to make it work without overwrite the original , you have to rename the main folder and all the path and files on your ecusa2 releated to the map (this is an adapted version of the Nadeox1 explanation here for an other map.

    You need to:

    • Change name of the folder (i suggest ecusa2 in order to avoid confusion with east_coast_usa)
    • Change name of all the files that has 'east_coast_usa' in it (They should match the same name you put to the folder)

    • Fix all the paths in the 'materials.cs' files ( - Those must match the new name you put to your level)

    • Fix the paths in the '.mis' file ( )

    • Change the title, description, etc. in the 'Info.json' file ( You already done this ;) )
