Lol i cant even figer it out i wish i could make a map.

I dont know how to use this confusing thingy

Post by **Wolfmaster** » 2005-11-07 16:09

to everyone who wants to make their own map: first you need the bf2 editor, which you can find at the official ea battlefield 2 site, or at other download sites. then, you can also download the official tutorials from the ea website. those will teach you to make a basic map. from then, you can just go mess around and improve your skills. if you have problems that you can't figure out, you can go here: http://bfeditor.gotfrag.com/forums. That's a forum managed by EA people, and you will get most of your questions answered there.

now, @ Blackbird that map looks really good. looking forward to seeing ingame shots. also, i think i saw a free site to upload things that size a while ago, but i'm not sure. i'll have a look for it.

I can host the map for you on 2 different servers. Let me know when you need it

Hey can you post a link for the tutorial?

y must your roads look like roads and on the map i made (but gave up on becuse it was frustrateing) look like weird little things. how did you get ever thing to work.

CobraPhantom · Post by **CobraPhantom** » 2005-11-08 06:10

Im not much of a mapper since Battlecraft for 42/vietnam but Im guessing it custom textures. I remember making a map for 6 months with BC:V, with every texture custom, then stopped once I realized how much BF:V was a wasted of my money and didnt deserve such a map.
As I said before, its not easy unless you willing to take the time to be frustrated over and over again. Its always difficult starting something new, but if you have the dedication and time, I say learn it.

Post by **Wolfmaster** » 2005-11-08 14:26

i think.. but i'm not sure... that you can't use custom textures for roads in bf2editor. never tried it but i think i read that somewhere.

@ Heydude, link to mod tutorial download: http://www.eagames.com/official/battlef ... loads.jsp#, scroll down a bit and you'll see it (under mod files)

hey are u useing the road tool? if so then i dont know y they look funny and did you set up the .con road file that u have to get from bf2 so u can use the roads they made cuz if you didnt then thats y but usaly they wouldnt show up unless you put the .con files ni the right folder.

sorry for the poor explantion but its VERY hard to tell some how to do it but if u have MSN add me [email protected] and i can help you out for sure ok.

hey heres a VERY small update the map is commingalong fine just adding in the small details now almost time for a beta test

any way heres a screen

Post by **BrokenArrow** » 2005-11-08 22:16

looks like its coming along well, i tried mapping but soon decided i didnt have the patience for it, wasnt as easy as id hoped it's be

but i guess that keeps it rewarding for those who dont decide to quit on it. good work man

Figisaacnewton · Post by **Figisaacnewton** » 2005-11-08 23:29

that does look like its coming along well.

I have some critiques though: the area in the middle of the picture, with the 8 or so trees should be turned into either

1) semi rundown park area
or
2) dirt and junk filled, backyard/junkyard area

the trees there just seem a bit out of place there to me... as do the trees following the road

feel free to give a damn or not, just my opinion

Hey black bird could you tell us if there is tanks, helicopters, and jeeps/cars?
