hello, sorry this to many of you will seem like a stupid question, and im sure its adressed elsewhere in the site, but i cannot find it.
ive made a battle over coruscant map, with many capital ships per side (about 5 each) with many frigates and federation coreships, aswell as adding many more basic space fighters and turrets to each side. the only thing i need is to be able to change the default background to the planet coruscant. could someone pleease just give me a step by step guide (or a link to a good one) and i will be extremely grateful.
thanks

go to this directory:

C:\BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\Common\scripts\XXX

open up XXXc_cmn

you should find something along the lines of this

ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\spa_sky.lvl", "end")
change it so that it's
ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\spa_cor.lvl", "cor")

sorry, didnt mean to double post, but Sith Lord, u dont change the ReadDataFile("dc:XXX\\spa_cor.lvl", "cor") 'cor' bit after the spa_, u just change the "cor" instead of the "tat" at the end. just sayin so no-one else makes the same mistake.
thanx for the help anyway

indeed i do speak of that one....no offense but u cant just come in, announce ur map, and say its gna be the best and expect us to believe it.

xwing guy has been working on his map for at least 2 months now...and probably still has a long way to go. as much as your coruscant map would suit me better, seeing as my expertise lies in a v-wing bomber and the arc-170, i still maintain my faith in the good old tie fighters and x-wings too...
