How can I change a weapon's rate-of-fire? Or is it too complicated for a new-starter like me?

[Rabbit032]

Should be just select the weapons tweak file that you want to edit, uncheck read only, open with notepad and change the RPM. Hit Ctrl F and look for ObjectTemplate.fire.roundsPerMinute

Is anyone out there in the community mapping/modding for FH on maybe a daily basis?  I think it would be kind of nice to exchange advice, offer constructive criticism, or just discuss our current projects.  MSN messenger could be an option, or even steam.

If you are a (beginner) mapper and you want to have your maps played, join Forgotten Honor mapping team

I have problems with layers. I created a gameplay layer for 64. However, I don't know why, when I copy and paste non-gameplay objects, they are being added to gameplay layer... When, locked this layer, it didn't want to copy them... Is it a problem if some non-gameplay objects will be in gameplay layer? How can I fix this?

Another thing, I know how to add pickup kits, but don't know why they don't appear in the editor (they are in game), I remember that it was possible in the past... what should I do, is it still possible?

Go down your resources bar till you find the layer you made, find all the static objects you placed and in the tweak bar set them to layer 1 and save.

To prevent this go to your editor bar (should be far right vertical) and scroll down to you see the "layers" tab. Open it and un-check the layer, and click on layer 1 so it is both highlighted and checked. You will need to do this every time you open the editor.

Ah, I see... So, having unchecked gameplay layer will prevent this... Quite easy solution, don't know why I didn't manage to find it earlier. Anyway, thank for the tip!

However, is it possible to add objects from gameplay to default in a quicker way? Because now I have plenty of statics there and it would take hours to do it... Maybe somehow outside the editor in the .con files?

[Rabbit032]

Try clicking on the top one, and scrolling down to the last one, hold shift and left click on the last one, then select layer one, see if that works.

If that doesn't work open your staticobjects.con in notepad. go to "Edit" "Replace" "Find what?" (Object.layer 2) "Replace with?" (Object.layer 1)

Thank you very much! The first way worked!

how can I assign a spawnpoint to a specific team? Is this "Group" setting?

mapdata.py

You need to use the teamSP function.
