Latino210:
Hi guys

I have a couple of questions. Assuming that I want to change the Earth map on the geoscape, what file should I replace and how? I understand that I can change the culture, the nations and the terrain just by editing some files:
http://ufoai.org/wiki/index.php/Mapping/Terrain_Types
But I still cannot understand how to change the map of the Earth. I'd like to use a topographic map of Mars or Venus distribuited free of charge from NASA. Is it possible to do that?

DarkRain:
Along with the culture/terrain/etc maps you should see: map_earth_day.jpg, map_earth_night.jpg and  map_earth_night_lights.png, you should try replacing them as needed

Latino210:
I've already changed them, the only thing that changes is the splash screen at the start of the campaign.
EDIT: I've found an earth.jpg in the \base\models\sequence dir, but I cannot edit the .md2 file in the dir. Can somebody tell me how to edit that file with radiant or blender?

H-Hour:
You shouldn't need to change the .md2 if you name your new skin the same thing as the old skin.

Not true, I tried to change the skin with another skin of the same size, the game freezes. By the way, how can I import an .md2 file into Blender or any other 3d editing program? It looks like every program I try refuses to open the .md2 on the base directory...
