So I want to make a map that uses units from the Japanese-themed "Assassin!" map that I'm sure you're all familiar with, but I'm uncertain how and with what to extract them into Fear to edit and add to my map. Does anyone have an answer to this? I would greatly appreciate assistence.
I posted this earlier on playmyth forums and they recommended i go here.

Are you on a Mac or PC? If PC then use a program called Topaz. For the Mac I forgot the name... but all the same. Topaz and its Mac counterpart can extract a plugin into your local folder.

Topaz can be found here.

If you are using a Mac you want to use either Tag Extractor (OS 9) or a similar program for OS X which I forget the name of unless I just made it up in my head.

fyi: You should check the readme files for maps containing the units you want to extract - many mapmakers expressly forbid re-use of their units without permission.

Even if the mapmaker doesn't state that you need permission it's good form to make an effort to contact the unit's creator.
Lots of Myth stuff at http://mythgraveyard.org.
Sometimes I put hard to find stuff in my my Udogs folder.

Or you could use the Killswitch's new and improved Untag tool, for the PC or OS X.
