I must tell you that when you start mapping, it will happen that you work for 6 hours or more and then have to start over again. That's barely anything compared to the time that takes a really good map, 6 hours are just, well, can't find an adjective for it :P

I do recommend you to read the basics, intermediate tutorials first and see how others do the maps and try to acknowledge how BF2Editor works.

misses with the terrain? Tpaint only creates colourtextures according to if that location is low, high, steep or shallow.

http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/1348/previewou.jpg <- an example, I put the colourfiles in to teh data folder of tpaint that I wanted, Grass, lighter Grass and rock.

geocontrol, terragen etc also can be used to texture your terrain, but its more complicated.
