Ok if I start from scratch, how do I make the following map...A GCW era conquest map with two interactive (like the Capital Strike map) Republic Assault ships (the inside must be editible) and a terrain that physically exists below and can be seen. Does that make sense? :yodaful: The ships have to be complete and interactive like they are in space! :calmon:

Copy the .ter file from a ground map template to your new space map. Delete the old .ter file. Name the new .ter file what the old one was. Paint/color terrain like normal.

Ok so how do I put two Republic ships in game in GCW era?

Some time ago i downloaded the file Spaceships_1.0_Final.zip.
It contains the 4 cap ships.

You can place them easy in ZE. Then add CP's, regions ans spawnpaths.
You then have a complete spaceship as if you'd play a spacemap.
I'm not sure about the remote turrets but everything else is there.

I searched for the file but i can't find it anywhere.
If you have a location i can upload it somewhere.

its not hard to add capital ships to land maps...all you have to do is copy the odfs/msh's etc from the space templates into your data_ABC folder

I've done that but the map crashes. And if I am in GCW, how do I delete the original capital ships?

Oh btw, where do you get the .ter file and place it into the space file?

Or instead you could make a normal space map.
In ZE set the TerrainView to solid an paint/raise/whatever the terrain.

You can add land vehicles on the ground as well.

I've done that and it doesn't work. So where can I get .ter files?

Go into a land map that you have made previously, or create a test map and go to:
data_ABC/Worlds/ABC/world1
and find the "ABC.TER" file, and copy it to your space project map and rename it to your 3 letter space map modID.

I'm 99% sure you're problem is that you have animated doors in the cap ships without animation files. Copy those from the "munged" folder of the space template.

So where exactly do I copy it to?

ANd another thing, when I add the new spaceship, it appears below the theoretical "ground" (not that I have a seeable one yet)

The groundlevel is not important. It's just a reference so you can see where you place things. You can place anything above or below "groundlevel".

Ok, thanx That solves the problem of getting the rep ship in there and I found the space conquest tutorial, so all that's left is this:

1)delete GCW ships
2)Find .TER files and figure where to put them for editing

well im pretty sure that you should go into the other layer and delete the ships like the same as normal objects.

ok say you want yavin 4 floor.

1. go to BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\YAV\world1
2. get yavin1.ter
3. copy it to BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\Worlds\XXX\world1
4. then delete your XXX.ter file
5 then rename the yavin1.ter to XXX.ter
and there you have it. xD
just a small note i used 'XXX' as an example of your worlds name.

hopefully that would of helped and if you need anymore help i will try to answer.

PM me.

good luck

It worked! I can paint the terrain and I can add objects to it. I figured out you need multiselect to delete the original capital ships. I only have two questions left, if this is too much of a problem, I may sart another forum.

1) I deleted the cps in the new capital ships and when I played the map, there were no cps
2) How do I edit the internal arrangements and hallways, etc. of the new capital ships?
