Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Kiljaeden (Burning Crusade).zip and know where it is located on your hard drive. The file is compressed as a zip archive.

Open World Editor and click Module -> Import Manager:

This is the Import Manager. From here you can add and remove custom files from your map file:
