I can find nothing wrong with your files, looks exactly like mine.

You could check F:\Battlefield 2\dump for the editor dumps or F:\Battlefield 2\bf2editor\Logs and see if you can find anything that makes any sense.

I did a komplete reinstall of the Editor and now it seems to work. Maybe some files were corrupeted, who knows. But thanks for your efforts to help me Fenring !!!!


Now I've a shit load of tutorials waiting for me. Darn mapping and modding for BF1942 was a cakewalk compared to all that BF2 stuff.

[Fenring]

Good you post here the results, maybe this will help some others having same problem.

I never had the luck to be able to map bf1942 but the little i looked the ed42's texturing process is something they really should have implented in bf2editor, paint slopes, a simple but brilliant noise texture creating system and such.

[Pooky]

yea the noise texture feature in ed42 was the best, i remember that. good too see you got it working masterohh. now make us some good looking maps

Invauluable mate, thanks so much

Hey there.

Fenring uses a max hight of 60 Units in his highmap tutorial. What is the absolute max for BF2 maps? Is it 255?
And does one terrain unit equal 1meter on my map?

[Fenring]

Actually those were EA tutorials but anyway I have used heights up 500 and it works, and yes they are supposed to be meters i think. Altough remember that streching to extreme heights usually wont look good, even a mountainpass map shouldnt have to be higher than 2-300 if you make your heightmap correctly, sorry for late reply didnt notice your post.

[MasterOhh]

No matter, your doing a great job here! Thx anyway

Updated the terragen tutorial with some important information about cleaning the detailmap colors, this information i got from [DICE]o2car big thanks to him. Go to the section "Edit the files with Photoshop" to see this new information.

Also i converted the missing EA tutorials to html, big thanks to doomlab for still keeping these files.

Also fixed a minor error in setup tutorial, thanks MasterOhh for spotting this. common_server.zip should of course also be extracted to "common" directory and nothing else.
