jeez, how much clearer do I need to get?

It's an FH2 mappack intended for single and multiplayer. I may be learning how to make maps and models, but I may send the map or maps out once I'm done.

He is making maps to train people in playing FH2, I believe.

To be fair, I would say Pheeph was pretty clear from the start on what he intends to do. Just read the second paragraph of this post carefully.

You have different channels for a 3d model in bf2.

your model look like you have done your UVmap right in max for 1 channel but not for the one you put your textures in.

colortextures ch1
detailtextures ch2
dirttextures ch3
cracktexture ch4
detailnormalmaptextures ch2
cracknormalmaptexture ch4

if you want to use this only as sign with no normalmaps or wood under the text you can just uv your text to channel 1 ( color) and export it. should work even if it will not look very good.

to make it look better its a little more needed. there are several good bf2 modding tutorials outside which can help you.

I recently updated the shooting range and created an MG range and a grenade training area. At this moment, the custom statics I have in here are simple warning signs. I hope to eventually create signs that indicate the range station numbers. And those destroyable "Yield" signs are just placeholders for the 'enemy cutouts' I may eventually model.

Here's what the ranges look like so far from the editor.

Other bits:
-I tried to test the map, but it just crashes on me when the "Join Game" button appears and I move the mouse.
-For some reason whenever I open the editor, the emplaced MGs I put in the MG range disappear once the map is loaded.
-I don't know why, but the terrain texture around the shooting range had that 'cracked rock' texture and I haven't been able to remove that kind of detail. The other terrain details couldn't cover that up.

What can I do to prevent the emplaced MGs from disappearing from the map every time I load the editor?

[azreal]

mmm, I had that problem once. I forget how I fixed it though. Is it possible for me to see the MG spawner code from your GPO.con?

[pheeph]

umm... where do I find that file?

[azreal]

its the gameplayobjects.con file in your editor folder
