Okay, I have looked and looked and looked and looked.......and looked, and I cannot seem to find ANY sort of map making tutorial for Battlefront 2 anywhere! I have a map that my friend and I REALLY want to make and we have no idea how to do the actual 3D modeling.

I already have XSI Mod Tool, BF2 Mod Tools, GIMP, and other stuff like that as well as all of my objects, sky, sides, and junk chosen. BUT, I have no idea on how to make the map itself. Could somebody please post a tutorial/guide on how to do so??

If you are going to say something like "All you have to do is go into XSI (or whatever) and create the map" then at least teach me how to do so.

Thanks

Read the documents that came with the modtools, and check out the "Everything You Need To Know" thread in the SWBFII Modding forum.

Welcome to GT.

Ahh, thank you SO much for your help! I am guessing that the actual map making is under something like "Minimap Tutorial"? Is that all that has to do with it? Is there more to it then that?

Thanks a lot!

The actual documentation and tutorials are included with the modtools you downloaded. You have everything you need to get started in the tools' documentation. There are additional tips and tricks to be found as well as more advanced tutorials in our "Everything you need" thread, but your first stop should always be the documentation.

Does the documentation and stuff include how to shape and mold the terrain? I looked and couldn't find how.
