yea, just set the number in the editor, but remember to place the correct flag sign so players know how many ppl are needed to cap it.

Anyone know where is hidden the file what is used when you press Save Layout from edit I think in editor with what you can save where tweaker and such boxes are placed.

After I saved it editor crashes on start up and reinstalling editor and removing editor folder from bf2 folder doesn help  :(

I have just have a tad bit of a problem... I made a map in the editor, for both fh2 and bf2, I packed them and  when I go to try to play them in game, they are not on the map list. Is it because I use Windows 7 or is just because I missed something. Help would be much appreciated, thanks.
I have no signature.... yet.

I wanted to load the newest mapping data into the BF2 editor. Thus I have some questions about it:

- latest version (0.1.237.0) --> Is this one still the newest to be compatible?
- http://files.filefront.com/Battlefield+2+Light+Map+Samples/;3994655;/fileinfo.html -> Are this BF2 lightmaps up to date?
- I found only an old version of the FH2 Samples. http://ifihada.com/~jbp/fh2pub/release-2.2/fh2-samples-1.5.841.zip -> Is there already a 2.3 download?
- The FH2 spawner: http://files.filefront.com/fh2+spawnerszip/;9765828;/fileinfo.html -> Is there as well an update?

-No, you want this version. http://www.filefront.com/5131567/BF-2-Map-Editor-v1.3/
-Yes
-Not yet.
-Yes, but I'm not sure where they are.

Thank you for the link  :)

All links seem to not work anymore and I wanted to read everything properly to avoid unnecessary questions.

I'm struggling with the same issue. I want to give a go with mapping, and mostly with the 2.3 version. So the link kummitus provided is the real stuff, right?

it's found in the same folder in ftp as the server files are so I would assume it's the right one.

I would like to ask maybe obvious question, but - is it possible to convert maps from FH1 to FH2? At least geometry?

You can use the terrain, the heightmap, anything else is more or less unusable on bf2 engine without major reworking.

The terrain must be upscaled in photoshop since bf42 uses x4 scale and bf2 x2 scale.

512x4 = 2kmx2km in bf42
1024x2 = 2kmx2km in bf2

I'm just running around the tutorials and the bf editor... and I really appreciate it so far.  ;D

I found a link which might be useful for mappers. On the website you can find a maps of dozens of cities from WW2. This is very helpful to find correct names for flagpoints and the like... at least on the eastern front the maps are awesome.  ;)

Unfortunately there aren't battlemaps for several places, but if you need input for Kharkiv, Moscow and many others  you can find sometimes even daily maps.
