How to Enable an Open the Editor
Firstly go to Steam and right click on the game and go to properties and click on it



the click on the Set Launch Options.. Box



Then is the Box that opens up type "-modding" without the Quotes



the close out of all the windows that you opened in steam and launch the game as normal once the game is open and you hit the menu screen select the Modding Option



the in then on the next screen select Map Editor



in the next screen it will display all the maps in your maps folder including ones you have made (if any) I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND YOU EDIT THE GAMES MAPS any edits you make are instantly saved and you could brake then im also not aware of a way to duplicate and rename a map so you can edit an in game map

To Create a map Click New Map in the top left corner



This windows window will then appear
