FH2 Modding Q&A

[Mudzin]

You set it outside editor in init.con file. If you don't have it in the map folder simply copy from other map, the best option would be copying  from the map where those 2 factions are fighting. So, you would have already set your spawn kits, because there you also set them!

[Ivancic1941]

And that will set flags too(kwiot)?

[Mudzin]

In this file you have defined armies and this setting automatically set these specific armies in the editor. I think you should find easily those lines in the init.con.

PLease

How to fix?

These spikes,how they appeared?

You see this on middle of map,like two level of map,how that apperad,how to remove-in editor or else?

[Ts4EVER]

Looks like the heightmap was saved in a wrong format.

[Ivancic1941]

You mean size is wrong?Or format like RAW?

[Ts4EVER]

Probably file format, IIRC it needs special settings.

Hmm,I folowed this tut https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1B2A3n19zjS1R4T4FLhr0-Uxfa_quf7DFC-FgCoQXIv0 and did what he said. But when I made my level:
size:1024(max)
scale:2   - so level is 2048x2048
low res:512

In photoshop,when I made size of file of heightmapprimary I put 2049.In raw options,I put 2049,IMB PC,Chanal:1,Hedares:0,it is grayscale,16bit.

Dont know where is mistake.

[Ts4EVER]

Yeah sounds about right... dunno then.

[Mudzin]

It happens often to me also... Don't know why... Maybe I suggest to dispatch secondary terrain in "terrain editor" section, so maybe it will help...

Heightmaps are always saved as 1024 and 1025 when you re0open it even if it is scale 2 or 4. Scale 2 and 4 dont actually add more tiles, it just stretches it out, think of it as resizing a picture upwards, you stretch the pixels. Colormaps are the ones that you save as a different size.

That is maybe my problem.I saved it as 2049 and in raw options when reopened I put 2049.

[Ivancic1941]

Solved my problem.Like rabbit said,heightmap is 1025 always any scale,and secondary 8bit.

Is it possible to merge the helmet and other stuff with the playermodel, apart from the kit geometries, so it does not disappear when the player is dead?

Probably, but AFAIK it's not that easy, and would require shit ton of work to apply to all models in FH2. I remember one dev (I think it was Kev) working on it for a while, long time ago, but after some trials he gave up because it required too much work. I might be mistaken tho, but that's what I remember from internal forum/IRC, maybe there are other reasons why it didn't work, maybe devs had different prorities at a time and it was just scrapped. As a tester I don't have access to those things untill they're released to the beta build, and that helmet thing was never released.
