FH2 mapping tutorials

[Fenring]

Updated the tutorials: Merged detail maps explanation with textures and added and rewrote stuff, added hopefully the now 100% correct explanation of lowdetailtexture all previous ways where wrong.

Added the easiest/correct way to fix the joint that appears when creating skies in Terragen.

Updated the textures tutorial with general settings in bf2editor (important read if you plan to make a map with planes!) Updated links to better editor version and and added information about how to blend two detailtextures in the lowdetailtexturefile. Also some info about some stuff in surrounding terrain that differs.

Nice!

I have created a beginners guide how to setup the bf2editor to work with Forgotten Hope 2:

Installing and setting up the bf2editor for Forgotten Hope 2.

I have also converted the basic EA tutorials to HTML, since the word format in these circumstances is ...bad:

Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 1 - Creating a Basic Terrain
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 2 - Creating a Basic Level
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 2 - Creating a Basic Level
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 4 - The Bunker - 3Ds Max Version
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 4 - The Bunker - Maya
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 5 - Importing the Bunker
Battlefield 2 Modding Tutorial 6 - Building the Car - Maya
Understanding Heightmaps and how to paint them in Photoshop

I will try to help anyone whon gets into trouble and also http://bfeditor.org/forums/ has good information and great helpful modders.

Updated the startup tutorial with link to these.

EDIT: And just to be on the safe side, do not download these unless you plan to make maps for Forgotten Hope 2.

Only if there is a object with exactly the same path and name, if youre unsure make a backup of the objects folder in battlefield 2/bf2editor directory.
