Could use help with very first map

Post by newguy99 »

I've never modded before so I read some tutorials and then downloaded the SWBF unsupported mod tools. I named my first map, opened Zero editor and seeing there was already two cps I saved the game compiled and moved file to AddOn folder and went to play it, the map loaded alright, but it wouldn't let me spawn even though my team had one cp and there team had one cp and on top of that as soon as the map started a defeat timer started counting down and the map ended with defeat.
I know it sounds lame to just save the map with the two stock cps, but I'm a beginner and want to start somewhere. Any help would be appreciated!

well the reason the reinforcement count went down instantly was because there were only 2 cps. Im pretty sure you need 4 or a higher even number of cps in order for the counter to not go down like that. As for not being able to spawn, you need to click on paths in zeroeditor and make sure they exist. also make sure the cps under object says (ie CP1Spawn) it will take a while to learn everything but eventually you will be able to make good maps.

Apart from reading the docs that came with the SWBF Mod Tools, the Star Wars Battlefront Modding Tutorial is very comprehensive.

Thank You very much for the answers. I'll keep working at it and hopefully finish my first map someday!
(My question is answered, I'm not sure what the gametoast procedure is, but this thread is done I guess)
