run in in compatibility mode XP Service Pack3 ... installer and .exe need to have that box ticked

[ChiefRyza]

Is there a small tutorial on how to set up an AAS map for testing? I'm trying to get a small community event map going and I can't find anything on how to get the flags in order.

use the map audit tut, it has a good explanation for the CP settings

[Rhino]

The AASv3 tut, number 19 on the list should have all the info you need.

Added link to bf2 secondary heightmap generator, readme is in the file iirc.

That tool kinda sucks tbh as all it dose is reflect the primary terrain out, making a really crappy secondary terrain...

You should really be making custom secondary terrain when making a map or better still, when making the pri terrain from either generating the terrain or DEM data, make the surrounding terrain at the same time.

[Rudd]

thats not always necessary, and the sec heightmaps from that tool are a good starting point/placeholder
