madbulls bf1942 heightmap editor

shinzon

has anyone used this editor, its supposed to be very easy to use, i have it plus all the bits and bobs like the .net framework and the dx managed components.

the map editor works beautifully, can see everything in 3d, but what my problem is, when i insert an object into the map, compile and run it the object doesnt show up

For your info all im doing is following the tutorials in this months pczone magazine to the letter

Regards

Shin

More than likely it has to be assigned certain properties...
Most proggies like that generally have to be "told" what to recognise the object as.

Highlight the objects and scroll through your list of options and see what can be done.

Never even played the game myself...

TIP for fans of the game...
Try and find the movie file (.wmv) called Weiner Boy...
You will be on the floor in tears!

Shin it wont show up as its only a heightmap editor it has trouble placing objects.

And if you place something you have to edit the CON file and repack the RFA which 99% crashes the game.

Try TMT or even better www.bf1942.com in there mapping forum there are stickies covering most issues with mapping.

If you want i can send you the "other" map editor its a lot easier to use.

Just so yas know. EA have bough Madbull out and he's now working on Battlecraft with Zerk and whoever else they've got their little hands on. Fair play though the guy deserves the credit (and money) for his work
