Mapping tips

[Papigiulio]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. hope this is the right forum to post about this, if not I hope a mod can move it to the right location.

I'd like some information about the bf2editor as I've downloaded it this morning and stumbled on some problems already. And I know I know it's a beta version but maybe i could tweak some setting to make it run faster, smoother and lighter.

My system specs are as followed
Amd athlon 1800+ 1.5 gig
radeon 9500 pro
756 mb ram

I wanna start out simple and small, so if you start up you have alot of map options e.g. size and stuff. And i was wondering what size i should take to start off with, cus i've taken 1024 for a map size and that loaded very slow, so i tried 512, that loaded slow too. Or is the program just heavy for as it is?

What should I use, and should i consider buying more ram if i'd like to work more and more with the editor?

Any other tips? :)

Anyawys t.i.a. :)

Ram and Processor. Graphics card is fine. Get a good 1-2 gigs of ram and get a 2800+ AMD if possible will make everything smoother and way better.

well you want to start with the smallest size (i forget how big it is) because its MUCH larger than you think and you will spend a long time mapping if its nay bigger.
