Dont know if this is the right forum, i just dont where else to post.

I downloaded the Editor a while ago and have been trying to get a hang of it. Klicking every button I see, placing objects etc etc. But I havent really managed to do anything worth mentioning.

What I am wondering is if there is a good, properly made tutorial out there? Preferably a video if anyone has taken the time to do one.
If not, Could one of you guys maybe explain the basics to me? Like making your own landscapes, water...Changing lighting, and so forth. (I tried opening a map, but i got an error message saying "mods\bf2\levels\wake_island_2007\init.con not found"; how do I open an allready existing map?)

I would really appreciate some help with the map editor, since I have some pretty cool maps in mind .

Thanks,

FFlink13 has written a couple of guides for mapping on this forum (one of them's here: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=34564), which should get you started.  The official BF2 Editor Forums where there's lots of tutorials, info and helpful people can be found at bfeditor.org
good luck

To open one of the Vanilla maps, you need to do some retarded thing with the "client.zip" and "server.zip" files.  I think you have to extract both of them to the map folder (or something)... but I suggest before you screw with any of them you make a copy and screw with that, so you don't get any problems with joining servers - punkbuster doesnt like you messing with the game files.

Let me know if theres anything more i can (try and) help with
Cheers

Pleasure.  I still havent produced much worth talking about, but I signed myself up for a mod team, which should be interesting
