F.a.q.

Re: Faq

Can you edit the maps already in BF2? Or ones you download? Is there a workaround??

Yes, in the map files for vanilla BF2 maps, they are stored in .zip files, so extract them and you have all the necessary map files.

BTW What is with this 15% crash bug, it is a larger problem for most people then the 60% bug. Its screwed up most of my maps...

me too :hmm:

Hey all Iv only just started making a map and Iv followed the tutorials so far and have made a map as far as the editor goes. I don know if this has been asked already but when I load up the level in BF2 it always just crashes and switches to desktop instantly (usually when its loading objects at 15%)
Any idea why its crashing? anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks for any advice

I got same problem :/. Anyone as know?

Just updated my post on page 6 (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=88) on renaming maps to add additional files needed to rename the Euroforce maps.

To rename maps, why not go File>>Save As... :laugh:

I prefer to use a method that actually works. Naturally, EA/DICE couldn't make it that easy.

Re: F.a.q.

When I startup my map locally in multiplayer mode it will show the join button. I click it and my whole BF2 game crashes to the desktop. I dunno why this would happen. I have no debug information and no idea what causes it to occur. I did make a new barebones map and tried hosting it again then it crashes to desktop again. I come from modding BFV also and this never really happened. I also tried playing the game in singleplayer mode and got same results. None of the new maps I make cane be played. I dont get it. I uninstalled the bf2 map editor and then reinstalled it. Is there some sort of debug mode I need to switch bf2editor in to post the results here? Is this a common problem? If it is I dont know what search terms to use.

Yes, ISTR that before BF2 was released it was claimed they would be releasing the same tools they used. No wonder the game was released in the state it was if they had to build their maps using the tools they released.

It's because you're saving ALL the work you're doing, and not just the things you actually need. Check your map's folders for any undergrowth + overgrowth, and delete all those files.

For further reference, when clicking 'save all' do not select all the properties , just save the ones that are already selected.

Re: F.a.q.

I'm having quite the odd problem with my map. I made a beautiful map with a great lake and a huge Triforce (Zelda) mark in the middle. Had to spend much time calculating and painting to make it look nice. So far so good.

But then, I tried to load up my map. But it doesn't show in the maplist. I checked, and it was in the right file.

I had a wierd prob. with one of my other maps. When I got into the game, I couldn't find the spawnpoint-selection screen. The only thing visible was the "X" in the top right corner and the "Done" button. Also, the HUD minimap was invisible, could just see the ring around it.

Did you click Mod->Package MOD?


How do I add water instead of surrounding terrain?
