FH2 Modding Q&A

Thanks anyways.

What program do you use to make maps or edit?
I tried "BF2 Editor", but it said>
Which is this just plain rubbish

[Korsakov829]

I think you need DX 9, anything higher won't work.

i had the same problem with windows 8

-right click on the bfeditor desktop icon
-go to properties
-click on the compatibility tab
-check the empty box "run this program in compatiblity for:"
-change to windows xp(service pack 3)
-then apply

that worked for me, hopefully will help you too.

Thanks Outlaw, does this look like its good to go? (all that error stuff led me to think its not working)

[0utlaw]

yep, ive always just ignored all the error context in that window.

merry mapping

I hope this is the last problem

When i loaded a map from the file i got this>

[0utlaw]

make sure to unpack all files from the client.zip and server.zip per map, if so already, then you are missing the init.con file which is located in the server.zip of packed maps.

Well...i am such a noob at this, is there some tutorials?

[0utlaw]

You need a bit more then this to deploy a custom map ( http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=1804.msg261225#msg261225 ), but those are the basics.

Ok ok...i did download that mapppacking script (including python) a week ago or so.

All I really need to know is that how to put the init.con in the maps/levels folder correctly.

[Pejsaty]

If you want to start a new map from scratch, simply copy init.con from existing map!

The init.con is created automatically by the editor...
