Should I extract the bf2 common zips in mods/bf2/common?

As a note, the file directory is already there, you just need to extract the files while removing _server and _client. For the common zips: mods/FS/common_client and mods/FS/common_server goes into mods/FS/common/
Holy beautiful sky...Thanks!

Just extracting the FS folder doesn't usually work. Make sure you extracted your BF2 folder as well as it requires some files from BF2/2142.

Between bfeditor.org, here and my own trial and error I've been able to get up and running mapping for FS however I still cannot for the life of me get the sky to showup in the editor. Its not for lack of trying.

What exactly do I need to unzip and place to get this working? I see the common_client and common_server zip files in the Battlefield 2/mods/FirstStrike directory but I don't know what, if anything, to do with them.

Thanks! I'll get right on it

Edit: Ooopsie. I copied the sky texture files from FS and put them into my map Objects file. Is that the correct location? There are client and server files for sky, I only need the client?

Do I need to create a Common folder for my map? Sorry I searched BF2Editor forums and did't see the mistake I'm making.

Thanks

Make sure you extracted your common folder in the BF2 mod. If you didn't your sky will not show up.

You need to copy the sky files , ie. sky texture , over aswel

You need to be in the level editor to see your map

Not sure what I'm doing wrong so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I have tried copiying a sky.com file from more than one map and it doesn't show up in the editor. For example; if I copy the sky.con from Tatooine Mosespa and put it in my level map and I open the BF editor, I get just a grey screen when in Objects. When I try to save it is referencing
ww_63_m_l_lod. The sky remains black at all times. Hmmm...

Thanks
