I do not see in the Scenario Hack Editor where to see the map, turn off the flags and save out the maps.

I was wondering if anyone can take this noob step by step through the process of saving out a scenario map for re-use?

Thanks much, I really appreciate the help. Many of the scenario maps are really really great!

Not scenhack - that is for editing data elements.

Load the scenario in the in-game scenario editor.

Then press the EDIT button, to get into the map editor page of the scenario editor, and choose the "Save MAP" button (red disk icon, says "save the current map to disk" when you hover the mouse over it, situated on the bottom row of buttons). Choose a slot in the save dialogue and type in a map name if the suggested one does not suit, press enter. Job done.

You now have the map - and can e.g. use the extended map editor to cut out a smaller part of that scenario map, or load it as a custom map in the scenario editor or battle generator.
