What do you mean "merge the teams"? Thing is when I read what you write I kind of get the impression that you don't even know how the basics of the game work, so it is hard to help you without going over everything.

i didn't mean merging the teams..
i meant porting the armies from fh2 to my personal vanilla bf2..
so now am i clear??

That's not very clear. 

I've put BF2 maps into the FH2 levels folder and put WW2 teams on it for uh you know "personal use".  I've never tried mixing modern and WW2 vehicles or had the Germans fight the Iraqis or anything.

You should be more clear and specific about what you want to do.

[roxor]

yes that would be awesome.... i am also planning to port maps from fh2 to bf2 but after i finish the dday map on vbf2

let me clarify myself

i am making a dday map and i need german army (whole army  eith nametags ,minimap icons etc)  fight the US ...... but the thing is that , that there is no german army in vbf2........so i now just want to port the German army to my vbf2 you know for "personal use"   

you know......it would be awesome to see the Germans fight against modern US

so i just wanted to know how to port a whole army ?
if you cant tell in public builds than just PM me

When I was experimenting with Chinese troops for FH2 I made  common_client, menu_client, object_client, and object_server zips in my map folder and then put ClientArchives and ServerArchives cons in the map server zip to call them up.

The common_client has the sound->FH2German
The menu_client should have external, HUd, and nametag folders.  It's all about the different flags.
The objects_client should have kits, and soldiers
objects_server should have the server files for kits, and soldiers

When you think you got that, make ClientArchives and ServerArchives cons that say this:

fileManager.mountArchive levels/Battle_of_Songshan/objects_client.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive levels/Battle_of_Songshan/common_client.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive levels/Battle_of_Songshan/menu_client.zip Menu

fileManager.mountArchive levels/Battle_of_Songshan/objects_server.zip Objects

With your map name of course.

You'll have to study the FH2 files to figure out what all you will need.  Good luck
