FH2 Modding Q&A

[pheeph]

is there a cap on object spawners?  I noticed in some places, some objects spawners weren't showing.

[kettcar]

is there a tut for setting powercables?

[Toddel]

its a pain in the ass. welcome to bf2 modding

[Gl@mRock]

What I did when I try to map for BF2 was setting one set of posts and cables, group them and copy and paste them. As Toddel said, It's a pain.

[kettcar]

sounds like i must sleep over this idea

I downloaded the first link but couldnt:

Lightmapsamples: http://files.filefront.com/Battlefield+2+Light+Map+Samples/;3994655;/fileinfo.html
Forgotten Hope 2: http://xfh2.ifihada.com/betatester-samples/fh2-samples-1.0.046.zip

How should i continue?

[fh_spitfire]

FileFront seems to have some problems with servers atm, so the first link should be ok later. As for second one, those are current up-to-date lightmap samples: http://ifihada.com/~jbp/fh2pub/release-2.2/fh2-samples-1.5.841.zip

Also, read this thread: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=1804.0

You don't really need lightmapsamples unless you're mapping.

Does anybody know a way to load and change the heightmap .raw files in gimp?

[pheeph]

I just downloaded the FH 2.2 lightmap samples for my map.  Do I also need the BF2 lightmap samples?

[Aggroman]

No, Bf2 samples are for vanilla statics.

[pheeph]

ok, I'm trying to lightmap my Boot Camp using FH 2.2 lightmap samples.  But it seems that the insides of the buildings are bright based on the direction I set the sun.  There's no shadows of sorts.  Do I need to do anything?

[fh_spitfire]

Be sure to read this: http://fenring.bf1942.cl/tutorials/light.php

And, you do need bf2 samples if you have bf2 statics in your map.

Another thing, you have to restart the editor after lightmapping to see the results.
