Minimap?

[Mavrik347]

I checked FAQ and that was no help :P. Any idea how I create the ACTUAL image of the map from a birdseye view?

Re: Minimap?

Ya the one in the Faq is not correct with the minimap title.

On the right side of editor window there is a minimap section - click show - it will then show a minimap in your editor - this generates your minimap.

Then navigate to your level folder and inside your editor folder there is a file called "minimap.dds" copy that file to your Hud>Minimap folder.

Delete the "ingameMap.dds" file and rename the file you just copied "minimap.dds" to "ingameMap.dds" - Fire up your level in BF2 and now you should have a minimap for your level.

Anytime you make major adjustments to your map - you must do the process over again to reflect the changes in the minimap.

Ah, Thanks man.

What about "commanderMap.dds" and "commanderMicromap.dds" should I overwrite them aswell?

Re: Minimap?

Don't forget if you would like alot of the statics to show you will need to raise the objects up to around 400-500 m. To do this up top in level editor, go to layers/select all in layer. Raise your objects up until you are satisfied with your minimap generation. Then close out your editor (** DONT SAVE IT OR ELSE YOUR OBJECTS WILL BE SAVED FLOATING**)
