[Help] No Gamemodes Folder

[Rabbit]

I searched gamemodes folder and could not find anything. I seem to be missing mine in a custom level and was wondering if something went wrong or if I just need to make one myself.

[HangMan_]

You just make it yourself i believe, well thats what i do for my maps

[Rabbit]

Ok well If someone could explain this to me that would be great. Lets say we have a control point, Lets say Alpha. Would you type in in here as just "cpname_alpha_vehical_0" What is the fr for and do you have to put in 64 or is that just part of its name to begin with.

Also for the objects them self I named them, Lets say chinook_0. Would I put it in is _chinook_0 or as _gb_the_chinook_0?


rem ********** Object Spawner **********
rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: cpname_fr_64_britstart_GB_CH_ScoutTank_0]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner cpname_fr_64_britstart_GB_CH_ScoutTank_0

how about using the things the devs gave to you ?

go to pr/readme/ and copy the bf2editor folder into your bf2 install folder

cheers

[Rabbit]

Much appreciated. But I do still need help with the gamemodes folder, all that did was give me the list of vehicles in the editor.

[HangMan_]

Lets all try and be positive here Amo..

You can name it Chinook_0 if you want. Most mappers, Including the PR mappers, usually use their own system to label object spawners, spawn points etc. I like to label them like this, eg: kiwibase_chinook_0 giving the cp and the name of the asset.

[Amok@ndy]

did you setup yourmap.desc correct ?

open it with a txt editor and copy the gamemode lines from other maps

[Rabbit]

Seems To be crashing still even though I took the line from ochamchira.

<map>
<name> Operation_Clover </name>
<briefing locid="LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_Operation_Clover">map description for modders maps not localized (english only)</briefing>

What percent is it crashing on? .desc looks fine to me.

[Rabbit]

13%. I would have run it in window mode, but I could not seem to find the icon for it in my bf2 folder.

[Amok@ndy]

13% are you kidding me ???

check some tutorials @ bfeditor.org

[Rabbit]

13% are you kidding me ???

check some tutorials @ bfeditor.org

As for looking around at bfeditor, I all ready did. I searched 13%, 13% crash, Map crash at 13%, level crash at 13% and Haven't found anything.

As For the crash it says

Module: Geom
File:
C:\dice\Projects\BF2Branches\Patch_1_50\BF2\Geom\SurroundingPatch.ccp
Line:156

Text: TBM: unknown surrounding terrain patch type!

Current confile:Levels/Operation_Clover/Terrain.con

Does this mean I have a seconds Terrain.con file somewhere because I had an old level "Operation_Clover" and the Terrain.con is still hidden somewhere?

[Amok@ndy]

check your SecondaryHeightmap[...].raw's

check your Terrain.con (easy one not ? the error already told ya the file !!!!)

[Rabbit]

Yes I know.... But I don't get exactly what I am looking for inside the file that is wrong.

The level is 1024x2 if that at all helps.

[Amok@ndy]

so why dont you post it up here? wouldnt be that a good idea ?

[Rabbit]

Lol, sorry you posted right when I edited my post.

[Amok@ndy]

what is your secondaryHeightmap size ???

if you map is 1024x2 and your s.Heightmap is 256 it needs to look like this:

Code: Select all

if v_arg1 == BF2Editor
terrain.create TerrainEditable
terrain.patchSize 128
terrain.subdividePatches 0
terrain.primaryWorldScale 2/0.0025/2

so are you saying even here too I should make it 8/0.64/8 and I'm golden?

Fixed the terrain.con as you stated it should be, i'm still crashing due to terrain.con

[Amok@ndy]

Fixed the terrain.con as you stated it should be, i'm still crashing due to terrain.con

i told you to change this if your s.Heightmap is 256 but it is 1024 !!!!
thats the problem why it is maybe crashin i never tried 1024 ingame but i know that it is causing a lot of errors in the editor

[Rabbit]

Ok, so you don't know what is wrong with the crashing if the level is 1024x2?
