Re: map editor help

you need to extract both client.zip and server.zip into the level folder

and then make a new folder called editor and copy and paste one of the gameplayobjects.con files into it so you can see some spawn points / vehicle spawns

Re: map editor help

your problem is that you have your client and server .zips in there own folders. they should be in the main folder so it looks something like this:

Re: map editor help

If you keep your client and server zips in the folder, then you wont be able to see your changes ingame unless you pack the changes into those archives. It reads those by default and only checks the subfolders if they are missing. Also, make sure you rename your map something else because you cant have two map names anywhere or you'll have problems. (Do a save as from the Editor to rename). BTW - dont mess with your original files or you'll need to reinstall BF2 from scratch before it will let you play online...
