If by not openning you mean a window doesn't show up then that's normal. You have to open a map for a window to show up, by using the file menu->open. Now if it's not openning at all, that's a problem.

For using it, I recommend section 1.1 of the read me.txt file which gives a general overview of how to use it. I've been meaning to write a decent manual though...

I thank everyone for the support so far.

SP Map names:
ui.map -> ustr -> ui\shell\main_menu\map_list
SP Map descriptions:
ui.map -> ustr -> ui\shell\main_menu\solo_level_select\map_data

There's also lots of ustr's you'll probably want to edit for each SP map that are inside of those mapfiles.

Altimit01 : LOL, my bad, I downloaded the source package. I couldn't figure out what to do with the Eschaton 04.rp file. After a quick google search,
I found out...you have to have realbasic in order to open the .rbp

I got a hold of cloud and he gave the direct link to on file front. Thanks for the follow up though

Thanks Altimit. Why would I need to change several Ustr's inside the maps themselves though?

By the way, do you know how to change the map order? Would it just involve nulling out the un-needed maps?

Well if you say wanted to change the pop-ups that have to do with checkpoints, that sort of thing. Those are all ustrs. As for map order, that's either hardcoded into the app or tied in very strongly to the ui.map file. In either case there is a simple solution for changing things around (provided you're changing SP for SP or MP for MP). Change the name of the map you want to be the in the position it's going to be. (So maybe you want d40 first, rename it to a10.map.) Then go into the hex of the mapfile at 0x20 and do basically the same thing. I tried it once with some MP maps and it works fine. Should work mostly the same for SP, maybe some issues with transitions but I'm not sure.
