Try these, there are several tutorials for mapping and terrain etc. Hope it helps, it's all gibberish to me even when I do get started something goes wrong with the editor and it's back to the drawing board.

Question for experiences mappers:

Do you think I will be able to make a decent map of what I have explained throughout the topic (the Ranger map idea) if I have just recently gone through a few tutorials?

Make it raining

It takes place in the Middle East, lol

Not much rainfall there.

Anyway, I'm using this tutorial from PlanetBattlefield and it's talking about placing buildings... it says the buildings are in the StaticObjects folder, but I can't find it, even though I'm in the right directory

what parent category are you using?
bf2, prmm, or sf?

it will only show up in bf2 parent
under common/staticobjects/there are several different buildings like
village, industry, adn such.

DEDMON5811 · Post by **DEDMON5811** » 2005-11-29 03:01

i wouldnt even try making it yet though since the bf2 editor isnt compatible with the newest patch and sf. Wait for the new editor.

Cerberus · Post by **Cerberus** » 2005-11-29 03:08

I've got this showing up

bf2
-common

--sky
-content
--objects
---common

Cerberus · Post by **Cerberus** » 2005-11-30 20:53

Haha, I still gotta learn how to make roads, as well.

Should I just cover the entire map with dirt/sand desert material and then place buildings over it?

And how to I place water

Post by **BrokenArrow** » 2005-11-30 20:54

when i started making my late map i covered the whole thing with sand . otherwise i cant help you with either of your other problems

Heydude235 · Post by **Heydude235** » 2005-11-30 21:18

Ya start out with flat sand then and the river and brige.
