[Map] Hainan East (4km) [WIP]

[sylent/shooter]

I know really noobish. But for some reason i can't get the paintbrush tool to work....

[HughJass]

Map Factions: Version 1 : (Defending) USMC vs (Assaulting)PLA Navy Marines
(current)Version 2 : (Defending) PLA vs (Assaulting) USMC

that's the current layout, since the PLAN faction was abandoned. If there is PLAN camo for the chinese soldiers somewhere.. maybe I'll put them in the map?

@rudd
yeah I tried that, didn't really work.

@sylent/shooter
what do you mean paintbrush tool? just texture painting or in general?

[Amok@ndy]

@rudd
yeah I tried that, didn't really work.

i also have problems with that method
just pack them into your maps client and objects folder by using a packing batch file
and then go to the staticobjects.con and change the paths of the objects to levels/yourmap/...

[HughJass]

also, here is a little idea I have for layouts.

(warning, large image, also is unfinished)

blue - 64 - all assets
red - 32 - mostly tank combat, possibly heli
green - 16 - amphibious assault, possibly heli
purple - infantry - Inf warfare in city
yellow - permanent bases (4 is an abandoned FOB not in use by USMC in 64/32)
orange - temporary spawn points for infantry layer

[sniperrocks]

Amazing, exactly as I dreamed of
Love the housing blocks, construction and bill boards everywhere

[PLODDITHANLEY]

That is a lovely looking map, something for everyone, inf, heli's and vehicles!

WOW why arnt you 100 making the maps this is how a map should look... especialy with all of the enterble statics ..... where did they come from??? they are GREAT! lol.... we need to use those statics and all the new ones being for the upcoming maps.. this map looks like its going to be a great place to play lol way to go !

[dunem666]

I only see 1 new enter-able static:

Most of the buildings are from vanilla BF2, some are reskinned Middle Eastern statics with Chinese signs (http://i38.tinypic.com/rrl8ih.jpg).

The other enter-able buildings are already on maps like Fallujah (http://i38.tinypic.com/oiasu1.jpg).

The new housing blocks (http://i37.tinypic.com/219zbq.jpg) just have enclosed rooms behind the windows so they appear more like real buildings and less like painted concrete rectangles.

But regardless of whether they are enter-able, they are a nice change of scenery.

[Snazz]

We have 2 new housing blocks from SashaSK8, the one you posted a pic of is not yet enterable, but the other is fully enterable and is a damn good static

Ahhh excellent...

[Randyr[NL]]

When do you think its finished??? or pls spare me the files so i can take a look

[HughJass]

alright, I got the map working in game, except all the custom statics don't show up. hmm'?

[Element66]

alright, I got the map working in game, except all the custom statics don't show up. hmm'?

have you added the custom files to your client?

[SashaSK8]

alright, I got the map working in game, except all the custom statics don't show up. hmm'?

do you have ClientArchives.con and ServerArchives.con files in server.zip?
example of ClientArchives.con:

Code: Select all

fileManager.mountArchive Levels/Hainan_East/Objects_client.zip Objects

And to the init.con need to add this lines

Code: Select all

[color=Red]run ServerArchives.con
run ClientArchives.con[/color]
run Heightdata.con
LevelSettings.InitWorld
run Terrain.con BF2Editor
run StaticObjects.con BF2Editor
run Sounds.con
run Sky.con BF2Editor
run Editor/GamePlayObjects.con host
UndergrowthEditable.create
Undergrowth.load Levels\Hainan_East\
run Overgrowth/Overgrowth.con
Overgrowth.editorEnable 1
run AmbientObjects.con BF2Editor
run Water.con
run TriggerableTemplates.con BF2Editor

else

[color=Red]run ServerArchives.con
run ClientArchives.con[/color]
run Heightdata.con
run Terrain.con v_arg2
run Sky.con v_arg2
run CompiledRoads.con
run Sounds.con
run tmp.con v_arg1
Undergrowth.load Levels\Hainan_East\
run Overgrowth/Overgrowth.con
run Overgrowth/OvergrowthCollision.con
run AmbientObjects.con
run Water.con
run TriggerableTemplates.con

[HughJass]

yes, I've been doing all that the whole time.

[Rhino]

you dont need to add thous lines into your init.con, you only need to add the ClientArchives.con and ServerArchives.con into the map's server.zip, with them also telling to mount the correct files.

Also if it helps my client and server archives.con files for op snow storm.

ClientArchives.con

Code: Select all

fileManager.mountArchive Levels/op_snow_storm/Objects_client.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive Objects_client.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive Common_client.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive Menu_client.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive Fonts_client.zip Fonts
fileManager.mountArchive Shaders_client.zip Shaders
fileManager.mountArchive Booster_client.zip Objects

ServerArchives.con

Code: Select all

fileManager.mountArchive Levels/op_snow_storm/Objects_server.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive menu/Menu_server.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive Common_server.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Objects_server.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Menu_server.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Common_server.zip Common

and a pic of my objects_client.con

[HughJass]

I have the exact thing, I've scrapped everything and redid it all about 3 times now...

I've zipped the maps with your code too rhino, the editor one crashes hehe.

I'll just upload and see if you guys can run it or maybe fix it.
