              Can you play singleplayer on custom maps or make singleplayer maps?

              The Answer is NO. There is no way you can make a single player map with the editor that was released.

                i beleive the answer in the faq page on page 1 how to rename a map to be false and doesnt work that way, i tried it how it says and it didnt work, this how i did it and it worked fine.

                1. make 2 back up of the map
                2. copy to your documents or were ever you like.
                3. with on of the back ups do this
                4. rename the map
                5. "" "" the desc file (which is in the info file)
                6. "" "" the first line in the desc file. save
                7.go into all .Con files and change the name to the new map name there are quiet a few .con files, so find all the old names and rename them. SAVE each one too.
                8. put this map into your levels folder
                9. open up the editor then select the new map and load it
                10. you may just want to go into the terrain part of the editor and just do some very minor texture painting, and also check that you have your surrounding terrain there too so re check that its there.
                11. go to levels and save all.
                12. load your new map in the bf2 game mode
                13. enjoy

                  See my list of files to change on page six (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showp...&postcount=88). I don't use the editor, just edit the files. (I didn't include the .desc file since that's only cosmetic.)

                        But the trick to this answer is not with the editor that was released. Why not with something else...like can I simply move a map from MP to SP somehow? I'm anxious to learn and get started on a mod that allows for this ASAP.

                          Not really. The most you can do is modify the existing SP maps. The problem is that there is a map component called navmesh which controls where the bots can move. There is currently no way to create that component outside of DICE.

                                Add Custom Maps to Linux Server

                                To make custom maps work on a linux server you may have to modify some folder and file names.

                                There are 3 things that need to be lowercase.

                                Map folder name - Ex. insurgency_at_alcatraz
                                Info folder > info
                                Inside info folder the .desc file > insurgency_at_alcatraz.desc

                                Most custom maps have the first letter capitolized so you will have to manually change them if so.

                                Thats it
