Re: Custom Mapping

Oh Custom Maps, hmmm I wonder if there are any more BF2 Mappers out there who want to submit their Maps *droool* smile

Re: Custom Mapping

Would love to but.....

I have mapped for BF2 for a long while now, but as you know, the BF2Editor just seems to hate 2142.  I have tried twice now to get things working and it always seems to be another issue here or there that keeps me from getting anything done on any 2142 based maps.   I have found a nice set up guide and instructions in the BF2editor forums and will give it one more go to get things working for FS mapping.   One thing the FS Devs could do is offer editor files to mappers so we can have one less issue to deal with.

Re: Custom Mapping

Well I have been looking over the FS files and trying to figure out where to start on a map of sorts. I was thinking some thing along the lines of a space titan/boarding or some thing like that but right now i am spending more time just getting BF2 editor to not crash every 5 mins. I wish dice/ea would come out with a bf2142 editor. Then again it would probably still crash half the time.

A generic set of templates perhaps with .con and .twk files ?

Re: Custom Mapping

I don't know what is needed at this point. LOL   The damn editor just seems to hate 2142.  I was finally able to get a simple map with a few objects, etc. but....  No textures, no skydome, etc.  I tried to pack what I had and try it out but it wouldn't even show in the menu for a local server map selection.  I'm sure once you get everything set up perfect and know the proper steps for testing the maps, it's not bad, but for the average mapper (i.e. me. lol) it's near impossible to figure out how to do things for 2142.


It's probably way beyond what anyone wants to tackle, but if there was a way to post all the files needed, steps to exact directories needed, etc then it may be something that the "average mapper" would want to take on, but without that it's a waist of time.  I have spent hours the last couple days trying to get just a simple map to work (I could have made 6 - 10 simple BF2 or BF2 mods maps in that time. lol) .  It just goes to prove how very skilled this FS team really is.

Re: Custom Mapping

Its never way beyond believe me, if you want to learn how to do it then you will do it. Just application and a passion to do that.
