Well, generated all those secondary Heightmaps, but the terrain is full of sharp hills - like hedgehog back, do you know why?
Most likely wrong heightmap resolution.

Yeah, that was the problem. Thanks!

Another problem are textures. I generate them by tpaint. Which files should I overrite to avoid replacing textures from primary terrain? Also, why after creating textures for secondary terrain, it still remains green?

Edit:
Nvm, I figured it out by myself.

But last question - can I add overgrowth to secondary terrain or not?

A question for all the fh2 lighting wizards:
Let's say I have modelled a light source, how does the light generation process work?
Do I have to somehow change the samples, or is it all done exclusively during the lightmapping process, in which case I only need to finish the model with normal samples, and give it to the mapper?

Also does anyone know if it's somehow possible to add moving lights to a static?
I can model/code rotating statics, and looking at the shadows the rotating statics in fh2 generate I'm assuming it's not possible to work with normal lightmaps. Can I instead use a bundledmesh? I've had a look at how the spotlight works, does it need to be a PCO, or can I have it firing all by itsself?

Sorry about the barrage of questions, but thanks to all those who might answer :)
I do bad things to the BF2 engine.

Just thought this website might be helpful for anyone making weapons. It's probably already well known though.

If not, maybe someone could post it somewhere more useful?

It's been a while since I posted here and worked on the BF2 Editor, it was going very smooth until this always-nagging issue repeated once again. There is no objects or they have not loaded!


I have unzipped all of the objects in their correct places. Loaded them into the BF2 Editor:





*I'm sure someone else had this problem, what am I doing wrong or how to fix it? Perhaps I replaced something while I was unzipping?

for me this is normal, just hit cancel and continue to name the object, then just change to the object you want in the tweak section on the lower left.

Hello all !

I might need your help : I tried to made a reskin for a Free French Sherman of the Leclerc's 2e Division Blindée. But the problem is the tank looks too shiny now. I just edited the M4A3_c.dds file. Any idea ?


Thanks !

You most likely didn't export with alpha.
