Be more specific. Modding could be a broad Range. are you talking about maps or python or what?

[greenmist]

maps, also i cant seem to change the level settings to choice what teams are playing the drop down box is empty?

I had that problem with the kits also, search is your friend but here's what i had to edit in the init.con file to get it working. You can grab it out of any other map to save some time, mine is US vs Taliban so edit to your map.

gameLogic.setTeamName 1 "TALIBAN"
gameLogic.setTeamName 2 "USA"

gameLogic.setTeamLanguage 1 "MEC"
gameLogic.setTeamLanguage 2 "English"

gameLogic.setTeamFlag 0 "flag_neutral"
gameLogic.setTeamFlag 1 "flag_taliban"
gameLogic.setTeamFlag 2 "flag_us"

gameLogic.setKit 1 0 "taliban_officer" "pr_taliban_soldier1"
gameLogic.setKit 2 0 "usa_officer_ziptie" "pr_usa_soldier4"

gameLogic.setKit 1 1 "taliban_insurgent1" "pr_taliban_soldier1"
gameLogic.setKit 2 1 "usa_riflemanab_ziptie" "pr_usa_soldier2"

gameLogic.setKit 1 2 "taliban_insurgent2" "pr_taliban_soldier2"
gameLogic.setKit 2 2 "usa_rifleman_ziptie" "pr_usa_soldier3"

gameLogic.setKit 1 3 "taliban_scout" "pr_taliban_soldier4"
gameLogic.setKit 2 3 "usa_specialist_ziptie" "pr_usa_soldier1"

gameLogic.setKit 1 4 "taliban_medic" "pr_taliban_soldier4"
gameLogic.setKit 2 4 "usa_medic_ziptie" "pr_usa_soldier2"

gameLogic.setKit 1 5 "" ""
gameLogic.setKit 2 5 "" ""

gameLogic.setKit 1 6 "" ""
gameLogic.setKit 2 6 "" ""

Also about the 'loading up' question, are you trying to load it ingame? Or editor? Have you set your game modes? Do you have flags, spawns, etc? Whats the error in windowed mode when it crashes.(if it does)

There is no overall tutorial i can point you to. So being detailed helps us help you.

Like Badmojo said.. The easiest way to do kits is in the init.con file and make sure you make it read only or the editor will rewrite it everytime you go in it. Also follow this tut, there is some more stuff you need to do to your init.con file.

There will be somethings that do not apply. But most of it will.

Also. Make sure each side has a flag and a spawn point.

Thank for all the responses, well about the Kits thing i will give that a try thank you.

Now the game loading, what im doing is loading PR multiplayer and trying to launch it that way. I was trying to test it but i realized i missed a few things now lol. Thats the way i was told to do it? i downloaded SP to it that way but i just cant seem to find the map? Knowing me im going to look like a right noob and im doing it wrong which is most prob the case lol.

I followed the tuts closely and thought i had done everything but im guessing somewhere along the lines i have messed it up

Had a look cant see anything that might help

[greenmist]

im really stuck now. i have made a map and done the steps but when i load and go to "create local" i cant see any maps? how do i test the map?

if i compress it can i send it to someone to try it for me?

[9cookie_monster]

I am sure this is probably not it, but when you start your PR your shortcut is pointing to the correct mod that your file is in right?

i moved it from pr_edit to pr i say moved i mean copied
