Default Newbie Map Question

I'm trying to edit the Minas Tirith map for online multiplayer but I don't know where or how to obtain the original to use as a base for a modded one.

Help please.

use a .big file opener, XCC mixer for example and extract the minas tirith map from maps.big then you can edit it with the worldbuilder

I'm not sure if XCC Mixer works with the BFME big files without modification, the version I have doesn't.

I use a hex editor first to open the big file then change the forth byte from a 4 to an F. This will allow you to open the BIG file with either FinalBig or XCC Mixer.

Then do your mods, extractions whatever and remember to change the F back to a 4 later.

Search google for Hex Editor, its available as a free download, make sure you do this on a copy of the BIG file not the original, just to be safe.
