I have no experience mapping but I'll play them when they're done. Have a karma. Oops sorry...apparently I don't have enough posts to hand out karma...oh well, the thought is there.

Do you think you could modify some of the normal BF2 maps to use Armored Fury vehicles? The Mogadishu level sounds fun too

citizen one did this in her 'how to modify levels to your taste' thread (in featured posts) - there's a pic of a littlebird over the karkand hotel, which looks like heaps of fun...

i reckon mashtuur with recon choppers instead of transports would be cool too

I will have to check that thread out. I think both Karkand and Mashtuur would be awesome to have the scout choppers in.

I just thought of something. Would it be possible to add a seat in the choppers? I think it would be cool if the scout chopper could hold another person in the cockpit and if the blackhawk could hold an extra person in the back and possiblly another in its cockpit too. Let me kow if these are just dumb ideas or if it would be too hard to do.

Yeah, I think PoE did that too. Adds to realism, having a co-pilot.

that would mean changing the actual models themselves, rather than just map editing

Well then mabye it shouldn't be done, to keep with simplicity? I did find this though: http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/Vi … rials.List i guess it is a bunch of downloads on how to mod bf2.

oberst_enzian: Member; +234|6743|melb.au

well, another thing to consider is whether it would be possible to poach models from other mods (with that mods team's permission). for example, the hinds from PoE2 which kick ass over the hinds in SF. that would just mean that people running these maps would also have to have PoE2 installed, which everyone should have anyway, because it kicks ass.

I think it should be just BF2 vehicles, plus I uninstalled POE and I don't want to install it again

oh well, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. this thread has got me interested in the bf2 editor again, however... i think i might try and whack something together myself next week. i'm thinking usmc (vanilla) vs insurgents (sf) with a littlebird (af)....

So I often just go singleplayer for practice...how do I add a littlebird to any given map? For instance, say I want to replace the attack chopper on 16player Dalian Plant. I tried reading the thread that was referred to but it's a bit beyond me right now...I've never tried editing.

Samuroo: Member; +5|6435

OK...I figured out how to substitute vehicles etc. But it won't let me save the files. Does the server file need to be unzipped, edited, saved, then rezipped for it to work?

EDIT: Nope, still won't let me save it. How do I save the changes? Do I need a special program to allow me to edit?

Thanks for the download. I will download and install in 45 mins because I just downloaded a MGS4 trailer and aparently I have to wait 45 mins if I am not a member. I will let you know how it goes, it will most likely be tomorrow though. Do you want me to report any glitches I come across and things of that nature?

RogueSoljah: Member; +4|6495|GoldCoast.au

sure i do, but there shouldnt be any. its just porting over a vehicle form af so if you do everything right , copy and paste the right things in the right place you shouldnt have a prob

and its only a 60 second wait for download for the free download

also are there alot of people with AF and SF ? as you will need both for some maps, and just AF for others

does anyone have stats on how many people own each xpack/bpack ?

I only own AF. I would get Special Forces but I don't really want to, seeing as 2142 is coming out soon and I don't know how many ppl will stay w/ BF2. Plus that is $20 I don't want to spend. I hear it is fun and all but I don't know if I should spend the money or not, especially for the main purpose of playing this mod.
