Did it crash?yep! but already up again.
Haven't really kept up to speed with these new map packs. So I fancied some Xmas FH2 time and had a look into it.WinRAR works even beyond the "trial" period (if you can bear it nagging about the registration), no need to download other, possibly spyware-infested programs for the unpacking.
I downloaded the mappack from the links given.
Had to download unzipping software + spyware :o as my Win 7 wouldn't unpack it.
Then extracted the file to bf2/mods and replaced the old fh2 folder....
Was able to have a normal game on the 762 server with the normal maps. BUT when trying to join the server running the new maps, the game told me "I did not have the map!".
In my mods/fh2/levels folder I can see the new maps there e.g. "fht_ai_el_agheila" "waw_carpiquet_aerodrome" etc
So why am I told that I don't have the maps? ???
Thanks for any help. :)
the bf2/mods folder and answer yes to the question about merging the folders)
Hello!go to the map where ur battlefield 2 is installed then click on mods -> then click fh2 -> then levels and paste the downloaded maps in there, i guess that should do the trick
I need help! I do not know how and where to install the new files. Please help me. Thanks: wiezon
[...]What i dont like on map Wastwall is that it isnt push map and there is 10 of flags on huge map and you cant control every.
When i play Create Local and play map westwall there isnt any me262 and there isnt pershing,but on servers i managed to find Pershing but still looking for me262.What i dont like on map Wastwall is that it isnt push map and there is 10 of flags on huge map and you cant control every.
So i need to have 4 flags of 7 of them and then they/me on oposite side will get that assets?
Immersion - 8 out of 10 people doesn't care...Hey Natty, you back?
What you need is a fast gameplay, where you can deploy more than ONE strategy, where you can attack everywhere you want or take a jeep and charge through the back flags.Then I wonder why you still play this game, because there are tons of other games which have this, but don't have what you call

No, but the maps are being updated for the campaigns. Wacht am Rhein will be played as the campaign finale on 30 jan.
The FH2 developers decided that since these maps are not original FH2 contentWith all due respect, Odium, the actual reply of the FH2 developers was not a whim, as it may sound in the quote above, it was about technical limitations:
they will not be distributed with the FH2 launcher, which is their good right.
We will try to provide a launcher for automatic installation of the next issue of the CMP.Can I offer you the installation script which has worked well for distributing a couple of other map packs - Singleplayer patches for FH 2.45 (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=19022.0) and FH2: Forgotten Maps (SP/COOP) (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=20003.0)? The script is rather simple, nothing fancy, but it withstood thousands of downloads without a single "How to install this thing?" issue reported here on the forum.
^ By the way, fun fact: Otolikos' last post was in 2010. :)
If so, would there be interest in some kind of map design tutorial?I guess that can be a usefull devblog no matter what CMP future plan is. If any maps will be really beneficial to the mod, those will be Eastern Front maps. Our of 45 stock maps, only 4 include Russians so far and there is a load of Eastern Front statics already available for potencial mappers out there. ;)
texturing with Photoshop, map setup in the editor, UG, OG, Roads, Lightmaps
I was thinking less of a technical tutorial but more the basics of design, layout and planning.
In addition: "Metz", a map that has been readied up for FHT tournament play and
extensively polished by Airshark. We did test "Metz" in the last FHT campaign #17
"Darkest Hour" and the players enjoyed it a lot for its intense close quarters action.
Atm we have noone who is available to put in time and polish it.
polish the map
Yeah, Pacific is pretty nice!

@ Otolikos: thanks for letting us know, we are happy about every FH2 dev that takes the
time to play the CMP maps and give us constructive feedback. Even if we can't realize it
instantly and not always one-to-one (TS4ever knows :P ). But we are happy to have you
guys watching over our shoulders and to have your advice.
The 233 error normally says that your game files don't match the server files.OK, when I extracted them I first put them in a newly made folder called "CMP setup" or something and then cut all folders from the levels folder into the fh2 levels folder. It then asked if I wanted to replace all files and I clicked "Yes" so I guess the location is correct.
So I'm guessing something went wrong with manually extracting the levels folders
that you just downloaded manually.
We have several seedboxes available that upload all the time.
Normally 1mbit dl speed is usual. Make sure that your Firewall or AV is not blocking
the updater/its ports.
If your updater is still not working, you can also try this link, but then you have to install
the CMP manually (extract it, then copy the levels folders into the respective spot in your
BF2 installation folder).
https://files.fht.ovh/cmp.zip
We still urge players to use the updater and try to make it work, since it shows available updates
and helps to seed/share the CMP with other players. Bandwith for uploading is adjustable, so it does
not hamper the gaming experience.
Thank You all. Keep it up. Cant wait to play CMP in the futureIn addition: "Metz", a map that has been readied up for FHT tournament play and

Any newz about Metz and CMP ??
It would be nice for an official Battle of Atlantic map. :) Happy New Year!!

Any ideas?
The Battle of Atlantic ran from 1939 to 1945.
Some CMP mapper might be happy to make something, but they would need more to go on. I don't think official FH2 has any plans for naval warfare, btw.
Well, I'll just make one.Excellent!!!
It' not "Toolaggy" anymore :-)Ok, I'll try as soon as I stop downloading a file. Actually its not a bad map. I like the setting sun.
Give it a try.
yeah it's quite reddish :-)Also, there is less spawn rape :)
I actually don't remember that on the fh1 version. too long agoIn the FH1 version they had flame-throwing Shermans and Fletchers bombarding you, while the Air force was helpless.
EDIT: outdated, please check last post.Nice, but I will wait for the full release.
-Also I would include in CMP mostly only Italian and Pacific campaign maps as FH2 doesnt cover that areas with exeptions like Sidi Muftah,BoB or really really uniqe maps (people dont want more European or African maps as FH2 covers that and you should bring refresh to FH2)I 100% agree with this. Some maps are simply boring, as they don't bring anything new and fresh, visually nor gameplay wise. I'm not even talking about maps that looks WIP or are bugged in some ways (substandard to FH2 stock maps). Many of them simply don't have that potential Pacific Front has, and since it will never be a part of the official development, I think that's an area where CMP should focus. I would not mind seeing custom Eastern Front maps too.

Ahhh. Some One could say the same about some old stock maps. But why? I dont get the point
CMP has been running just fine for some time. Most players have the map pack and its very refreshing to play a bigger palette of maps with +80 players.
The only maps I sometimes dont feel like playing are the ported stock 1942 maps. They are well made, but its like watching the first starwars again and agian. I rather Load up bf1942 and play Wake etc.. and its fun :-) Why were these copy maps ported into fh2 cmp ?
Hi,
First of all, in terms of copyright: Everybody can make a minimod for FH2 and release it, as long as it does not contain copyrighted material from other developers and as long as it requires a valid installation of Forgotten Hope 2 to run.
Yes. I understand :-)
But in this thread everybody incl my self jumped bandwagon against china copycats
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=20225.0
So Pacific maps + assets etc. from bf1942 is not copyrighted from other developers ?
Yes. I understand :-)

I'm not sure what you mean. BF1942 content is fair game (afaik) considering FH2 uses their voices. The other assets that the CMP uses are bought and paid for from various sources on the internet. OR they've gotten permission to use them from the people who made them.
Indeed, they're used with permission from the RS team :)
-> General updates are a more historical weaponry on several maps,I've done some testing on a local play and I'm impressed by the changes so far. That's exactly what I wanted to see in CMP. Well done guys!
new soldier models and uniforms, new weapon kits, new planes, Napalm and depth charges...
Lots to test, stop by!
My updater doesn't do anything, it just shows "Settings", all other buttons are grey. I've had this problem before, does it mean I have to redownload the updater everytime there is something new to download?
- DOWNLOADING the BETA by using your COMMUNITY UPDATER (https://files.fht.ovh/FH2CommunityUpdaterSetup.exe)
Why would you want to play CMP? Undergrowth is horrible. Although I like their air maps.
It is less time consuming, but they look crap.
some of your maps too
some of your maps too
Wtf? Stop being so ready to jump on people. TS was talking about FH1 vehicle ports, not maps.
You don't really think he spent 5 and 1 month respectably to carefully think over those comments, do you?some of your maps too
Wtf? Stop being so ready to jump on people. TS was talking about FH1 vehicle ports, not maps.
Pr0z4c carefully considered those comments for 5 and 1 months respectably. At 4 AM Saturday morning he decided the time was right for a succinct reply.
I'm with him.
I can't download anything through the community updater. I either get stuck on "Waiting for Seed" for Matt's retexture pack or "hashing" for the mappack.
