Topic: PR-Mapper interrested.

I really want to make a map for FirstStrike.

I went to mirc and had a short mapping conversation with The Preacher - He told me to post some of my stuff. He asked if i wanted to be a part of the team - Im not sure about that - I just want to do my part for the Empire Vs Rebels mapping area.

I have made a working map for Project Reality - called EJOD desert.

Here is some from Ejod Desert:

The interresting thing are the distance blur added..in Photoshop.

I have tons of these images...

Falcons nest - never made it yet - because all the statics changed...And It was to small in the end - because Project reality expanded somhow.

I would really love to play around with FS statics - and new statics also -
I use to work in Arcitect firms with 3DsMax - for visualising building projects - So I have been around people who taught me how to think as an arcitect - kinda.

If i help you - can you help me - ?
First - Where do i install BF2Editor - Now it's not an EAgames folder - Should i install it in Electronic arts folder? under bf2142/mods?

Hey Thomazz,

EDOJ is a great PR map.  Good work.

As for editing under 2142, welcome to the confusion.   I too do BF2 mapping, but because there is no 2142 editor, the whole thing is really confusing and hard to figure out.   One of the FS mappers has said he was going to write up a "how to map for FS" step by step instructions for the community.   I have tried the stuff posted at BF2editor.org but nothing has worked for me so far.   I think if we were able to get some BF2 mappers up to speed on how to even edit for 2142 we would see some great community maps.   Watch the forums for a real nice "how to".

Hey Thomazz . 

In a short while we'll get that "How to" documentation out for the community. Its quite easy really. If I wasnt so busy id post how to do it now , but alas..

PS. Ejod desert ,along with Assault on Mestia, are my favourite maps for PR smile

Re: PR-Mapper interrested.

A personal request to all fan mappers; Please don't make any more tatooine map, we already have two, plus Ty made one that maybe included in a feature release/map pack. Variety is the spice of life.

Also if you plan on mapping a famous battle, please speak too the devs first. New maps are already in the works for R2, it would be a shame to waste your time making a map we are already testing.

General Un-Co,

Re: PR-Mapper interrested.

Problem is there isnt many models to create new planets at this stage in development. That'll change with time.
