i figureed out how to have a new world have more then 3 leters for a name

in your new map

C:BF2_modtools/data_abc/_build/worlds and rename abc to abc1 ( or what ever you want it to be)
then go to


C:BF2_modtools/data_abc/worlds and rename Abc to abc1 (can be anything you want but has to be same as other)

then edit the localize and click mapname click deseription and find abc and change it to abc1

then do the same with name and presto map that SHOULD work that has more then 3 leters for its internal name

sweet find eh

just do the locailze

and rename the map after mungeing inside addon

works just the same + the map shows up

I didn't know. Cool!

You did?

Cool find BTW, could be very useful... yessss, hmmmm.

Wow . I am definitely going to use this.

Really, with all the scripts and the addme still as the old name?

Hmm, I tried what you said in the first post 'trog, yet the folder isnt even showing up in addon folder. On your second post I think it says to JUST do the localize, but I can't be sure what you said do to your lack of proper punctuation and grammar (No offense ). So do I not rename the build/worlds and the data_abc/worlds, and do only the localize?

Edit: I did that, and it still shows up as the 3 letter name in the addon folder. Also it messed up the name of the ingame name.

i'm kind of confused. What's the use of this, do you ever actually see the 3 letter world name anywhere

I think its so you can name your mod folder something that is longer then 3 letters, but I haven't had any luck getting it to work yet.

I didn't know that it was possible in BF2.

umm the way around the not showing up prob is just renameing the folder in addon and bang you can have abc1 and abc2 i wanted to figured this out so i could use the name i wanted for my map so that it wouldnt crash ( previus map with same 3 leters)
