[HELP] How to import L3DT to BF2 Editor?

[LtSoucy]

Ok I need some help, I cant figure it out. i have made the map and saved it and now need to import it into the editor. Anyone have a clue how to get it ?

[marcoelnk]

if you have a 1024 map (no matter which scale) you have to export (simply save it) as 1025 x 1025 HeightmapPrimary.raw file and replace this with the default one in your map.

It saved it as a L3DT Project File. Would that work, i cant save it to any other file type.

no, that wont work.
i dont know if i remember correctly but i think for saving only the heightmap you have to rightklick on it and klick "save active map " ...then save as Height... (as above)

[LtSoucy]

Ok I just saved my height map, ill do what you said and see if it works.

[LtSoucy]

I did it and it worked loading up, then I tried to look at it and all i got were some lines on a side of the map and the rest is flat still. Ill update with a picture later.(Thought I had one but guess not. Ill just go take one.) Anyone know how to fix this?

[marcoelnk]

did you resize it correctly when you saved it ? so for 1024 maps (no matter which scale ) you have to save as 1025x1025 , for 512 maps 513x513 .. and so on.

[LtSoucy]

So your saying for a 4km map I would save it as 1025x1025. If so then that would be my problem. Let me try it again.

what exactly do you want to export. textures or heightmap?

also do you have the standard or pro-evaluation version?

[LtSoucy]

I have the standard and just height map.

were you able to figure out how to do it from marcoelnk's post or should I write a tutorial?

I got it to become a RAW file but it doesn't work when I place it into teh editor, a tut would be nice.

why do so many people fail at finding/reading tuts? I'm finding it quite pissing off in fact.

if its so hard to find out of thous 5 results then here is a link to one of them that will help but really pretty much all of thous 5 search results in there would help you....

really cant be that hard
all you have to do is save the heightmap , resize it to 1025x1025(there is an option when you save it in which size you want to save it) , name it HeightmapPrimary.raw and replace it withe the default one in your started map. whats the problem?

are you naming the file correctly? also make sure it is 16 bit, not 8
