Download the modtools and read all the docs. so you can learn how to work with ZE (ZeroEdit) etc.

Ive tried that but when it syas go to munge w/e ur 3 letter were i get stuck and cant do anything i can only like make what the name and type of map its going to be

it makes a new folder under the overarching modtools folder. Read the getting started doc because it explains it all in there.

how do u get to teh overarching or w/e irts called folder? and the getting started doc doesnt help

First of all, speak properly.

Second of all, if you don't know what/where the BF2_modtools directory/folder is, it should be on your C:\ drive.

Third of all, your 3-letter ModID is any 3-letter/number combination.

And fourth of all, don't ask questions like these until you've read the Getting Started Guide THOROUGHLY.
Excuse the caps, but just saying "the getting started guide doesn't help" won't get you any farther in modding.
Because that's how everyone gets started.
if you're not willing to spend the time and read it THOROUGHLY, modding probably isn't for you

I HAVE READ IT THOUROGHLY AND I CAN DO UP TO ONE CERTAIN PART BUT THEN IT DONT WORK! Sry bout the caps

What point are you stuck at? None of us can explain it much better than the docs, but I'll try. What helped me when I was confused was reading it over and over till it made sense, but what don't you get?

This is laughable. If you're "sorry" about something, then don't do it. We expect our users to respect each other, and that doesn't include posting in all caps.

And as I'm sure you've seen posted before, please post specifics of your problem, otherwise no one can help you.

It has to work. Btw you should have been to the everything you need thread first. And there is this word called please you could also use. Actually try as apossed to just blaberring.
You be nice, too. The "Everything you need" thread is down at the moment, and there's no need for name-calling. -Staff

Omen, welcome to gametoast man. First off, most of us like correct spelling. This isn't BF2 where you type too long you get shot .


He has:

Munged his world.

You should look around and gather up these folders into one:

data
assets
the modtools icon
(there are others I forgot the names for)

Then munge up a new world. I'll help you from there.

yeah sorry about my last post that was mean to say. Anyhow if you need help with making a new world was it? Just run the Visual Munge from the data/build folder or the start menu. Then go back to the C:/BF2_Modtools and your 3 letter mod ID that you created upon the munge should appear with data_***. Then edit your world with the program Zeroeditor in your map folder. Once you open up your world read the getting started.doc thoroughly. It has a detailed explanation on editing your map. Btw welcome to gametoast!

Because it lookslike your modding folders are scattere around your drive, I would recomend re-installing into a folder so you're organized.

You know what? Forget modding and map making, I give up.

Don't give up. It starts out hard, but gets easier as you get used to it.

Seriuosly, when i was learning, i gave up trying to mod for like 2 months before starting again, just cuz i really really really really wanted to make a Hypori map....and i did.

Oh yeah Dann I remember your Hypori map!! That was definetly great! Yeah keep trying and may the force be with you!
