Battlefield 2 Map Editor 1.3

[ChemicalWarfare]

Hi, I just got Map Editor 1.3 for BF2 and I need to know how to use it. I hate looking at the 'HELP' window sooo.....
I was wondering if anyone can make a 10 minute brief video of how to use it. Like how to make the: Terrain, Water, Objects, Flag, Vehicle, Spawn-points, buildings, etc......
That's all I need to know all the stuff how to make a very detailed map:thumbsup:!

Re: Battlefield 2 Map Editor 1.3

What version of L3DT program does he have? I've downloaded all the version's, even am waiting for the key code for the 90 day trial version for pro. Like I downloaded all the versions

2.5c, 2.6, etc.....

And I got a problem with them, they pop up an error (Forget what it said; that error is for the 2.5c and 2.6.4) and only for the 2.6 version (not 2.6.4) it allows to export the files to desktop and when he says to "Move the HeightMap.raw 'Or whatever file it is' to the map you made and say yes copy and replace the file." Well, when I try to change the file its only .xtm file instead of .raw file. I export it anyways to desktop with that file name and I check, there's no HeightMap.xtm or whatever!! file (raw) and all they ar is paint files. No others for my map.

Can someone help me?

You're trying to jump into deep water, too.

Think about making a very simple map first, then experiment later after you've got it figured out. I'd take Rhino's advice as he know what he's talking about. Also, you should register and read the forums at BFEditor.org as it is a valuable resource with lots of experienced individuals participating.

Good luck.

if you asked me that question a few years ago id be able to answer but I dont remember anything now

it can be fun tho, just remember, in order for the map to work, you need atleast one spawn point and one vehicle on each team I think

heres a map I was close to finishing

was fun working on it

theres also a trick that lets you unlock lighting from other maps, at one point I had op. clean sweep lighting in my map, it looked cool

Re: Battlefield 2 Map Editor 1.3

Hey, thanks y'all! I got a map going! But, how do you generate the map? Like showing the terrain? Instead of it grey saying, "Defult Map Made by BF2 Editor 1.3"
I would really like to know!
