IIRC there is a demand for a UV mappers/texturers? Other than that I wouldn't know though.

if you could learn to export vehicles from the model into something that could be coded in Bf2editor you'll surely be of use ;) , I know I'll need someone with such skill later on for the PLAN Marines faction.

Places to look if you want to acquire this skill would be to search to BF2editor.org website for tutorials and general info.

exporters are one of the areas many mods are lacking in, ie, its getting a model of a vehicle, weapon or w/e from 3Ds Max into the game and working.

here as some tuts on it:

Creating An Airplane For Bf2/2142 - Official BF Editor Forums

Exporting A Tank - Official BF Editor Forums

3ds/gmax Hierarchy Collection (56k Warning) - Official BF Editor Forums

There is some other tuts and info on it if you look around the editor forums.

some good info etc here too: Official BF Editor Forums -> 3ds Max


To do this you will need 3DsMax (really you want 3Ds Max 9, the version most people use, anything higher or lower you will have problems with)

then you want the POE2 3DsMax tools: Poe2 Extended Tools For 3dmax 6-8 And 9 - Official BF Editor Forums

and then you can get cracking :p

We're not really gonna start a philosophical debate about whether punishment it better then incentive are we?

Chuc is rather good though it seems, whatever your doing to him :p

What sort of pics and vids are we talking about here? perhaps its time to drop out of uni and work full time on PR instead with these kinds of rewards :P

-_- your equation is wrong, its 256, Chuc only works in powers of two!
