Adding more tanks to maps

[{SHD}Metalbourne]

I come from Red Orchestra/Darkest Hour game playing but want to get back into BF2 esp. now that there's a WW2 mod out for it. Is it possible to run your own server and have only tank vs tank matches on it through custom loadouts in a SDK/Map Configurer?  We are a tanker clan so this would help greatly.

Thank you,

That should get you started.

Welcome to FH2.

Theoretically that is possible. But note that if the server would be public it would probably count as server side modding which is somewhat frowned upon.

You could add tanks on maps and even play these maps on your server, but the problem is that everybody would have the download these maps all alone. In Bf2 you can't download a file ingame straight from the server, so you would have to host the files on a mirror.

or you wait for the FH2 Custommappack, wich is coming soon

Oh okay, I wasn't sure how it worked. In RO you can mod as many tanks the server can handle and re-direct it for fast download, but it sounds harder to do with BF2. What is the new BF2 custom[pack and when is it due for release?

Provided you intend this for your clan rather than public all you need to do is take an old map copy it, rename it, give it a new loadout, and distribute the new map to your players. Once everyone has the new map it is very simple to change the loadout. All you require is a new Server.zip which is less than a megabyte.

If you want I'll make you a map. Just send me a pm listing the map and tanks you want. Include respawn times and infantry kits if you want them. If you want to learn to do it yourself I can talk you through it.
