How do you place vehicles in the editor?

You should ask this in the FOT Mapping and Modding forum.

Where it is being moved to.

OTB

If you mean, placing a vehicle in a map, then here is what you do. Open your map and at the top of the screen is a row of black boxes. The first one is "Select", then "Tile" and next is "Entity" - click that one. On the left side of the screen you should now have a list of entity folders. Click the one that says "Vehicles" and pick the vehicle you want to add. Place it on the map where you want to.

I tried that but "Vehicles" doesn't appear there.

Then there should be nothing on the left side right?

Then you are probably going to have to unzip your bos files so they are in the entities directory.

The .bos file in question is entities_0.bos

Just be sure to say "No" when prompted to overwrite the files that are already there - those are the "patched" entities, and you really don't want to have to reapply the patch, now do you?

What program do i use to extract .bos files?

Use WinZip to extract the files that you need.

I'd reccomend a more powerful extractor. WinZip has a tendency to freeze and badly lag when dealing with that many files.

The word is if you don't select any of the files, that you can extract the biggest archive with no problems.

Well all I know is WinZip kept crashing so I switched over to WinRar.
