IronTaxi's Mapping Tips and Tricks

[[SpecOps]Shadow]

Having spent a whole heap of time now creating my map I thought I should try and clear up a couple of issues that I have. Thankfully its not tryingg to work out a CTD this time .

I have a 2 questions at the moment.

First is on the lowdetail textures. BFeditor seems to only have the default one which is making my grass areas look a bit like brown green rock from a long way away. Is there somewhere I can get a better lowdetail texture for grass? or do I need to make one myself?

The second question is ... there are lots of kool vehicles etc in the editor, some of which I haven't seen in PR maps before for example the BMP. Is there a list of vehicles that are set up to be used in PR or are allowed/not allowed to be used in PR?

Cheers guys

Look through the Lowdetailtexture.dds in every BF2 stock map, to see if there is anyone you like. Put them in the BfEditor/rawdata in lowdetailtexture folder and save them in any name you want. You can then add them in the Editor...

How much RAM do you have?

if you generate LMs for statics, maybe to them step by step or 50 statics together each time, that way you wont get problems, maybe?

You can select statics say 50 statics > go to generate light maps > Then you can say generate light maps for selected items.
