BF2S Forums How to modify your levels to your tase, for dummies.

OK all you prozor modders in here, I would like to ask a few questions.  One of my clan mates wants to make a movie on Surge and Mass Destruction (SF maps) with Navy Seals vs SPETSNAZ. 

1.  Is it possible to add the SEALS team to Mass Destruction and Surge?
2.  Is it possible to add the Littlebird (we have AF) to SF maps?
3.  Is it possible to Add the sky from Operation Harvest (lightning effects included) to Surge/Mass?
4.  Can I put a DPV into these maps?  (there are no DPVs in SF )
5.  Can I upload a SF map with these changes for download or will I have to use the entire xpack file?
6.  Unlimited C4 count, without the packs dissappearing when you lay 5.
7.  Would it be possible to add a sniper rifle to the Spec ops kit without a load of kit modding?
8.  Finally, can I change the RPG to auto fire?  (no reload animation/time)

I know how to do most of this, but some things like the Harvest sky I dunno how to do besides going into the sky.con file.  Thanks for the help in advance.....


P.S. CitizenOne, add all the new stuff you've found to the first post plz, its hard to dig through 7+ pages to find what you want

If I remember correctly Citizen One said that you get a CTD when you use the passenger seat of the little bird(or bots use it).But you can add it though....

Citizen One also posted somewhere that you get a CTD with the Operation Harvest sky as soon as the lightning strikes(don't know on which map though).

And when you change anything that's not in the level folder itself(Objects_client.zip!) you gotta use the entire xpack file(standalone mod).

1.  Is it possible to add the SEALS team to Mass Destruction and Surge?

Yes.

2.  Is it possible to add the Littlebird (we have AF) to SF maps?

yes, but doesent work on single player unless you ADD the vehile, replacing another vehicle is a no go.

3.  Is it possible to Add the sky from Operation Harvest (lightning effects included) to Surge/Mass?

Yes and yes, but I would need to make a small tut.

4.  Can I put a DPV into these maps?  (there are no DPVs in SF )

Yes.

5.  Can I upload a SF map with these changes for download or will I have to use the entire xpack file?

Depends on the ammount of changes made.

6.  Unlimited C4 count, without the packs dissappearing when you lay 5.

Yes. But I would have to make a tut on it again.

7.  Would it be possible to add a sniper rifle to the Spec ops kit without a load of kit modding?

"A load of kit modding" ? No, just no.

8.  Finally, can I change the RPG to auto fire?  (no reload animation/time)
Download the sir. mod for that kind of experience.

All in all I was pretty angry with that post because you made alot of questions that were already explained and answerd within the pages of this thread, next time read.

I know a lot of this stuff is quite obious to you, but I'm not an experienced modder at all..... plus BF2 CTDs a lot when changes are made.  I've narrowed what I want to do down to just modding the map (not weapons and stuff), so the only thing I don't know how to do is adding the lightning to Surge/Mass.  Thanks for the reply and sorry for any frustration I have caused.

Whoever is giving me -1 by searching my latest posts and finding this thread can die. This thread is great and anyone giving me negative Karma without a valid reason can rot in the never ending pits of that underground thingy in Jeepers Creepers. Kthnx.

Hmmm.. This is a great mod.. and it's amazing work! I just can't seem to get it to work.. I wanted to get an A-10 on CleanSweep ( I have AF), the way you guys did it, along with being able to vehicle drop an LAV or a heli. For some reason though, I did the vehicle drop, and nothing happened. It wouldn't show up, and the drop would reload, as if it did. The A-10 would replace an F-15, but instead nothing was there. A little help please? I'd appreciate it very much! I'd give all of those who helped make this possible for us n00bs karma, but I have a small amount of posts, so I can't. Rest assured, I will when I can! Thanks!

I had the same problem before. Did u notie u can only spawn in as the heavy soldiers? All u have to do is in the Init.con file, if it says "country(like US)_specops country_Soldier" change it to country_specops_country_Light_Soldier" For example change "US_specops US_Soldier"to "US_specops US_Light_Soldier"
I'm sorry if u cant understand this or the US_specops US_Light Soldier line is wrong. Im using a laptop 'cause we moved to japan and my BF2 Computer is coming in 40 days in ship. It wored on mine so it shold work on yours.

I don't know if this has been covered before, but since 1.3 there's some strings at the very bottom of "init.con" to vary what vehicle is dropped in a vehicle drop (der?).

Hop around the game zips to find the code names of the tanks and helicopters, because it would be badass to drop a heli or something in kark.

Thank you for your great piece of advise

editor. you need to edit the maps for an increase in the playable area. anywya, why bother when it'll not affecvt gameplay unless you are in a plane or more flags are put in?

ok, well thanks to citizen one, and a few others i have been able to mod a few things,
.custom kits / add sf weapons
.any army
.water
.sky
.add the never b4 seen sniper
.change vehciles (which already exist in level)

but the one thing i just cant seem to add new vehicles into levels of vanilla, i.e. littlebird into karkand

i no how to add any bf2 vehicle to any level (well replace existing onces) but i just cant get any Armored Fury vehicles to work, i do it the same way as vanilla vehicles, and there in the levels server and client folder, in my mods object folder, but it just doesnt seem to work, if any of you guys, that have figure it out i would be very thankfull.

can u just link to the af vehicles ie (j-10 into karkand) or do u need to copy the folders over, and does it only work in single player, i have read this hole topic and there are only DIY guides to to this but no walkthrough as such.

i no how to do it, like i can get any sf or bf2 vehicles in but not AF, and thats wat i need to no, wat am i missing, there in the folders in the mod objects, level objects, and even copied booster server and client over but still doesnt work.

cheers.

C4 and the ammo bag have the same object number (5).
AK-47 and the L96A1 have the same object number (3).

Man I'm going to spend my (parent's) life savings on renting a professional hacker to swap the 1.4 final with one that completely removes claymores from the game.
