How to import Lighthouse Big Faros

Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Lighthouse Big Faros of the bundle Lighthouse Big Faros. Please note that all the screenshots in this tutorial were made using a Mac, however it should be no problem to interpret what is equivalent on a Windows or Linux machine.

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Lighthouse Big Faros.zip and know where it is located on your hard drive. The file is compressed as a zip archive. Most modern operating systems allow you to unzip the archive by double clicking it and dragging the contents out to the desktop (or any other place).

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:
