Ingame Map + Limiting combat area

[weaponx]

First of all I must appologise for my noobish question but i've looked on numerous sites and still not found an answer to my query.

I'm new to the map making scene but was impressed by the BF2editor and created a map quite easily however i'm not sure how i can create the ingame map because at the moment i get the default map which is grey and just shows flag locations to players.

Also how do i create an no combat zone which limits the players to stay with in the confines of a certain area like the out of bounds limits on the original maps? I played around with the combat area option on the lvl editor but it doesn't seem to do much but place markers where i want hem but players can still go where they want.

hope someone can take the time out to help me on this one please.

I think with the combat markers, you have to create a complete perimeter. Once you've gone around the whole combat area, try placing a final marker on top of the original one to try and make a sealed-off area. I've never done it myself, though, so I'm not sure.

What hic said is correct. Create a full loop around the battlefield. Everything inside the loop is playable and everything outside is out of bounds.
