I guess many are like me in that they don't want to put much effort into BF2 if BF3 will have a shiny new editor along with completely different way to mod and map for BF3 and the Frostbite engine. Just a bunch of players running around with their hair on fire. If it wasn't for the modders, those games wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the attention because the actual gameplay is glorified lonewolf chaos and not much else. The most successful games that last are the ones with mapping and modding. Others have MUCH BETTER editors and mod/map communities, but they don't have the BF gameplay style. This really sucks as BF gameplay is what I like the most about the game.

IF BF3 doesn't have an editor, the whole series is done in my opinion unless people can step up and actually write a complete tutorial on BF2 mods/maps. I'm remembering real quick why I stopped tha last time.

Sorry, having a flashback to the anger and frustrations I had 3 years ago with modding BF2. Even the "The Most Complete Guide." at FH2 WaW is far from being close to complete as there is tons of scattered info I've collected that is nowhere mentioned in that tutorial. WAY too much assuming going on, and thus we have all these questions still being asked years later. Instead they post a file name and thats it with no explanation where that file is. Not enough people posting the actual COMPLETE file paths.
BATTLEFIELD 2 MAPS NOT SHOWING HOW TO
People really dont know how to write instructions apparently because I've seen alot of "do this and that", but rarely is it actiually explained, and the worst part is people not being clear on where files and folders go. I havent seen clear and correct intructions on alot of this stuff after all these years. All this time and there is still complete confusion on how to do the most common things like changing a map or mod name. Modders and mappers have been their own worst enemy when it comes to BF2. The search function acts like nothing more than a random post generator! The worst search function I've ever encountered on a site. I do a search and wonder what the search function is doing because the results are always unrelated and make no sense at all. Maybe it's a testament to the forums search function really sucking bad as it never gives related search results. If something could be found, maybe the questions wouldn't be asked over and over. That gets old as we all know to search for things. Help a brother out and point me to some specifics that actualy explain something.įile expert? Well, not an expert, but I manage, so long as I have clear explanations, but I haven't found anything clear on how to do this name change thing, regardless of people saying "that's already been explained many times.", or some smart remark "try doing a search". And where do I find "you should have the correct folder in them" instructions? What folder and where? Unless the folder is zipped, it's uncompressed unless your meaing something else. All the hex editor does is locate the files in question right? Any idea how to actually use the hex editor? And you say "uncompressed", but I'm afraid I'm not clar what you mean by that. I really apprecite your reply, but you managed to explain nothing. When you say "load the map", are you saying load the "MyMod", then "my_level" in the editor like normal? I could really use an explanation how to do this instead of a cryptic comment. So far though, I'm not clear on changing the level(map) name of "my_level". I think changing the mod sounds easy enough. I've searched "change mod name", "map name change", etc, contrary to what TNE26 said, which isn't helpful at all and seeing they didn't point to where the question has been asnwered "many times before", why even post a reply! Done several searches here, but nothing I can find as yet. I've done alot of searching but no clear details on how to change a mod's name. I didn't have a name nailed down when I started the mod, so it's called the standard MyMod and my_level as instructed in tutorials, but none of the tuts say how to change it later once a name is decided on. I'm trying to change the mod and level name of the mod I'm making.

That's fine so long as you provide info how to change it later, but so far, none say how that I can find.Ĭan someone explain how to use the xvi32 hex editor? Got it installed but not sure what files(s) I need to open or how to use this thing. Almost all of them say name it "MyMod" and "my_level if it doesn't say it already". How to do this should be a sticky or right at the first of any map/mod tutorial when first setting up a mod/map.
