Getting a Mod to use FA ?

I want to make maps for mods like Modern Warfare, but they are not connected to FA.
How do I set up FA so that it sees the mod and its assets ?

Usually, the map editor reads the same files as the game without issues.

Is this the one you meant?

The MIX Headers are readable and the MIXs can be opened by XCC Mixer; FA2 should be able to read them too.

I guess you didn't set the registry right. FA only reads the copy of the game in registry if you have multiple copies.

That's not exactly true, the more recent modded FA2 will read from the directories specified in the settings, so it can be bundled with a mod.

What he's probably experiencing is the fact that CNCNet client uses funky locations and FA2 can't pick them up?

Yeah, that's the mod tako2

I set FA to the mod's folder, but it doesn't show the new terrain and all the writing is Chinese, but the mod is not Chinese.
