should now have seven folder named replicant
and six files named replicant
Start MTW,
choose replicant campaign
now you can mod away in those replicant files and folders to your hearts content,
if you change anything in names.txt or descriptions.txt make backups each time you make a change,
that way you can go back one step and try again.
