Testing maps/playing maps? How?

[LDOriginal]

I don't know how to test and play any map i've created. I just don't get it. I've placed the "mods" folder in the SOMA game folder with all of the rarfile "521867713" content. Being assets, config, maps, entry.hpc, resources.cfg.

My approach was to take either one of the "tutorial9" or "tutorial9b" maps given by frictional and strip them of all content and make my own from scratch. Seemed most conveniant to use either of those templates and just begin building something fun! I can open them in the level editor, edit the maps however i want and save them. But when i run ModLauncher, it's still the testmap from frictional??? Wierdly, there are some small changes in the maps tough. Lighting etc could differ. Some walls still being there :S But all in all MY maps don't show up or load as i saved them. WHY?

Got the SomaDev.bat working but i doesn't really help me see what i'm doing wrong.

What am i doing wrong? Haven't eaven got to the scripting part yet lol.
