Project Reality Forums

Hello, i have been working on some maps and as I expected it is not little work creating a realistic map. My question is; is it worth starting on maps for PR 0.98 or should i wait for PR 1.0 ? I heard 1.0 will be a standalone game (not mod for BF2) will there be a possibility to make maps for 1.0, should i wait, or will old maps created in BF2 editor still work in PR 1.0 ?

And if i won't be able to make custom maps for the new 1.0 version will PR 0.98 still be a playable mod for BF2 after 1.0 ?

Maybe Im completly wrong about the standalone game?
Appreciate all the help I can get

PR 1.0 will be a mod for BF2. So maps you make now, will work in 1.0 or future releases of PRBF2.

You might confuse PR1.0(the 1.0 version of the BF2 mod,after 0.98 ) with PR2(a standalone game build by a separate team).

edit:I'm a ninja

Shock and his theory of PR 1.0 being in fact PR2, probably was that.

Maps created in 0.98 will most likely work in 1.0 without any issues.
If you want to start mapping, go ahead, there is no need to wait for 1.0.

The only thing I'd recommend is, once v1.0 is released, you might want to update your pr_edit (as in, make a new one, based on v1.0).

But that's for later. Start mapping now, release your awesomeness in the v1.0 era .

make a thread in the community maps with your concept and progress if you have any already, that way you can get all the help, and feedback

Correction, if they work in v0.98, they will also work fine in v1.0, but will most likely require a few tiny code tweaks in order for them to work fully with v1.0, period.

How do you think we keep maps in PR for so many years? Al Basrah (although a very early version of it) first came in v0.5 and its still in PR today, from pretty much only code tweaks since then (although did receive a face lift for v0.6, but hasn't changed visually much since then). Hell Op Ghost Train was made for v0.4 and its still working fine today with no real changes other than small code ones since then.

So yes, if you plan on making a map for PR, your better off starting sooner rather than later, as it takes time to make a map and the sooner you start work on it, the sooner it will be completed and hopefully, part of the mod if its good enough

Alright nice guys thanks alot for the info!
