BF2 Editor

A wee thread for all our map making needs :).

Since a few of us have started using the editor I think a thread where we can go through problems we're having is important :D.

Anyone interested in making a map can get the latest editor here.

There are several tutorials here, though only the first two are really of any use to a map maker!

All questions should be directed at the vet that is Big G.

But!!!

Before you ask any questions this website could help you out :).

Lol, I should probably point out that anyone wanting to make a map will need a LOT of spare time :).

It's taken me a while just to get the time together to finish the tutorials and start messing about.

Gizmo's map must have taken over 10 hours to make!

That's why people get paid to make maps. I should imagine that a full 64 player map for BF2 would take about three weeks to a month for a junior/mid level designer to finish and quality check.

Is there any way of using a current BF2 map and just altering it? May be a fast-track way of doing it.

To get a custom map to play on a Linux server every file and extension must be in lower case.

This means that after you've packaged your map and are sure its in it's final form open both .zips and rename all file titles so they have no capital letters. A big task, so only do it when you're sure it's ready :D.
