I came across this forum looking for a solution to a problem I'm having ..My boys and I want to make a mod that we can play online ..We spent many hours editing and changing stuff in a copy of the bf2 mod that we renamed .Added different planes and all works great so far our problem is when we set a server up with the mod we made it will run and the game will run at clients end ....now when we connect it goes through the hole thing and map loads then client side crashes ...saying >this server does not allow unmodified contents please revert back to your old bf2 < not word for word but something like that I took a aimaps mod edited and changed it all for a test . It works great why not the bf2 mod that I edited

are we able to edit the bf2 mod and rename it and play online after or is there something stopping us

woundering how people make mods work online is my question cause Im lost now lol I can convert the bf2 mod add planes change everthing about them it work as long as its not online .. and I changed name from Bf2 to test

I can take a online mod that someone else made like AirMaps change it all around set up a server online and it works but not the bf2 one

We want to make our own please help if you can we understand lotts of the moding just dont understand why it wont work online ..I googled and cant seem to find out why they all just say same thing reinstall game lol

Thanks LeafyCargo

You CANNOT modify your original BF2 folder and still be able to play online (This includes local servers) because your md5 tool will find that you have modified the content. You will have to restore all of BF2. And then, you'll have to create another mod, use BF2 Editor, and when you load it up, it'll ask what you want to load, press create new mod. I don't know if you have to recode some things.

As for Bf2Editor lol I have not had to much luck from scratch building one ...I seem to be better at breaking things apart and doing changes to what is already made I can sit and change stuff around in the dam mods to what I like manually even in maps ..But I'm dam lost at that tool ...Guess I need to find some more tuters to watch they seem to all talk more on maps with that tool .

thanks for the post

if you follow my tutorial for modding weapons. it should be the tut talking about modding a sagia 12 shotgun.

after reading, just find the weapon that fires the projectile your wanting the gun to shoot and replace that one line of code.

is it also possible to change type of ammo for an attack heli, i.e the she_ec635 that has only a minigun but I want to shoot with hydra_70s.



Furthermore I'd really like to know if it was possible to copy some paragraphs or sections out of a helicopter tweak file which deal f.e. with hydra barrels and ammo and paste them into another helicopter tweak file, that has only miniguns.
By doing that, I hope it could be possible to get additional armament (on top of existing miniguns). In the end, a she_ec635 should be equipped like a ahe_ah6.
Does anyone know, if this could be possible (by simply copy-paste the relevant parts of the helicopter tweak files?)
With this procedure, it might be much more fun to fly the different types of helicopters because they are equipped with more firepower... :
