Ye, it's great. It could even be called Operation Sameyel, as there already is an Operation Simoom. It is every mapmakers wet dream to make an Operation [...] map

Heh, I come home from school to see this! I had an idea in my head but the ideas here are infinitely better. Considering what I plan for the map and the back story I have in my head (going to update OP) I like Operation Sandpiper the best. Also- meant to say last night that the texture for the main part of the map (not the surrounding terrain, will do that at the last stages) is 50% complete!

how about Operation Vasectomy?

or Battle for Middle Earth

forizzle: Operation SandTrap

I think I'll stick with Operation Sandpiper, thanks though.

Speaking from experience, 90% of mapping is just sitting in the editor getting your terrain looking good, putting down buildings, overgrowth/undergrowth, and then filling out empty spaces with props. Just ignore the map name ideas for now and get to work on the map, it'll serve you much better in the long run

Never saw this before on my first map. I go to the surrounding terrain with my brush, i reload my minimap to check my progress and this happens. http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1530/map3p.png

Yeah that happend to me once. I wasnt able to use the editor's minimap tool again without that happening, so I just used the perfect minimap tutorial to make all my minimaps now.

if you not the conceal it says "Out of Video Memory". The uncle sam texture is the default texture in BF2 editor for a texture that's missing.

That is console for everyone else.

before you rant at me I am just trying to help the guy not have a go at your spelling.

hehe, I had just woken up when I posted that

Now where on earth did I put my ban hammer, hummm...

I expected as much seeing that I accidentally left it running for an hour when I had to go do something. Almost done with textures, too when I stopped last night.

(double post, I know) alright, time to move on to terrain and the areas that will hold the area control points. texture right now is the one on the op and I'm going to do lowdetailmaps later. If I find a better texture I may use it.
*edit* well ****, I don't think I unpacked all the files correctly as I can't create an object spawner.

Tunnels would be EPIC

I might do that, thanks for the idea.

sorry for the gap between updates, school is getting in the way (though i'm going to have a 5 day weekend starting this Wednesday) right now I have a good concept of the rolling hills and I know where I plan to have some of the stuff like an oil refinery complex, but I can't figure out why when I try to do an object spawner no vehicles pop up.

Don't bother placing the vehicle yet, start with the statics. Generally, the last thing I do on my vBf2 lolli maps, I just make the terrain, statics and then I place the obj spawners to have a look inside the editor.

oh i'm not placing any vehicles yet, but i'd like to be able to when I start placing them

or maybe more serious, Simoom or something related.

some updates- I've been working on the terrain with the spare time that I've had, and I find it coming along nicely. I still have a problem of where I can't set any objects or object spawners; I think I unpacked that stuff incorrectly. Before I make a new copy of pr, move my map, and unpack those objects, anyone know where exactly to unpack them so they are able to be put on the map? Thanks.
