I am very new to gametoast and map making. I am just curious if there is anybody who well guide me step by step on how to make a custom map. The kind of map I am trying to make is on Mos Eisley Assult. I want to take out force push, pull, choke, lightng, and saber throw. I also wish to remove time bombs, wrist rockets, det packs, and thermal detonators. I would appretiate the help given. Thank You!

The three mightiest resources for help:

3) that little folder in the BF2_modtools folder called documentation.

Welcome to Gametoast, Customapshelp. Just a question, I know I'm probably the last person who should think that someone else's name is strange, but where did you come up with your name?

i've only had to ask help on the rare occassions, which is about, 4-6 times? so mapping/modding/moddeling isn't hard for me

I came up with that name basically because I am only on gametoast to learn how to make a custom map. The map I am making is going to be designed only for The Order. There have been problems with people no obeying the rules, so I am coming up with a map that will make them obey with the rules, or leave the game. And I also have one more question, how can I download mod tools? Thank You for your comments. And xwingguy, Thank You for the links.

Download the mod tools Here.

Thank You

Ok im pretty sure i did everything right. I went to crazytieguy'a link, i downloaeded mod tools, but now i cant find them! How do I get into mod tools? :yodaful:

Where did you download it to? You install them by running swbattlefrontiimodtools.exe. Then the folder is C:\BF2_ModTools.

Ok i finally found it. It was installed into a winzip foler. But when i onpened it, it was exactly like how the game started up and how it looked and everything. but when i logged on to my account, there werent any servers up at all! Please tell me what I did wrong. Or if i didnt do anything wrong then tell me what i do now because i am really confused.

Oh, you had already installed the mod tools. oh well, I replied to your PM and it should explain every thing that you asked about. If you have any more questions, ask them.

Ok i have installed and ran Mod Tools. But thers just one problem. I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!! If anybody could please help me with my problem I would very much appretiate it. Thank You :yod:

there is a documentation folder. i'm sure that will help.

there is also a modding FAQ and you can use the search function here at Gametoast.

Alright, i finally figured out how to make a map and i got finished making one yesterday, but when i was done, battlefront wouldnt start! I mean, it got to the loading screen, but then it closed itself. And its the same if I download a map. Just yesterday i downloaded a map pack, and i had to delete it because battlefront wouldn't start up! Whats wrong with it?

First off, have you downloaded the update for BFII? And second, how many maps are in your addon folder? Just the one?

Yes I have updated battlefront2 to version 1.1 and yes i only have the one map in my addon folder. If i want to start battlefront i must delete it and i dont want to do that.

In which case there could be any number of reasons your map is crashing. Assuming, of course, that your map is in [Star Wars Battlefront II Directory]\GameData\AddOn? I suppose having a bad .LVL file in the addon folder could cause the map to crash.

well the map isnt crashing, the actual game is. when i click launch, the screen turns black then theres a loading screen. right when its done loading, the game closes it self. the map does NOT crash. ITS THE GAME THAT CRASHES. and i have found that i have to delete the map that i have downloaded or made for the battle front 2 GAME to run. Whats wrong?

Well, when what REkubot means is that your map is causing the game to crash. Do you know how to use BF2_Modtools (the debug version of SWBF2)?

Yes I do. That was the first thing that i opened in mod tools.
