FH2 Modding Q&A

[Turkish007]

Is it possible to convert things from BF1942 engine to BF2?

[Korsakov829]

From what I understand its not very straight forward and not everything can be coverted. But it can be done.

[Turkish007]

For example, a vehicle or a static can be done?

[Korsakov829]

Right, but the individual parts would have to be extracted, depending on what it is file types may need changed and so on. But I've no idea for certain.

It is but afaik in most cases it is easier to make models from scratch than import them.

Does BF2 engine limit maximum tracks of a vehicle to 2?

Hi! How can I move camera more precisely in the editor? And also I'm looking for dark-brown color texture, like it was used on Hurtgen Forest map. Can you tell me the name of it? Because I can't find it in the editor...

Mouse scrollwheel lets you adjust the camera speed in editor.

Question: What programs are needed for texturing? Photoshop?

[Rabbit032]

Bf MeshView is a big help and you do need Nvidia's .dds converter.

Ok, I got it! Thx!

Can sb explain me why some objects I can move very precisely and some not? For example: I'm making railroad and some of the tracks I can move really precisely that I connect them with ease, but most of them I have to connect by manually setting coordinates...

Select object- hold shift - use arrow keys

Thank you very much!

I would like to ask about any possible tutorial how to build open watermill from all its parts. These parts are in the editor, but apart mill they are not moving. So, can you tell me how to match them and force them moving?
