Converting Maps to DC/FH

Post by smurf118 »

Good day all.

After my issue with absolutely no one offering help with creating a map alongside me, I have decided to do it all myself... However, I REALLY REALLY REALLY need help. I have made a basic map with Battlecraft. It is a simple naval map, four destroyers, two carriers, two subs, two flags, and a pair of rafts. There is an issue, in that it will not open in the Origin BF, however that can be overlooked for now.

Really, I need instructions on which files to edit/delete/add accompanied by screenshots (before and after, for example). Currently, I have no bloody idea.. D:

Please, almighty overlord modders, lend me your hand in a slightly different topic :)

Yours - begging,
Smurf

So you need to know how to make it work in DC? Sam ships and all but DC stuff?

To convert a map from BF to DC, open you map in Battlecraft, press F11, Open this file, Image

Then change this:

And then copy the map from

mod/bf1942/archives/bf1942/levels/

to

mod/DesertCombat/archives/bf1942/levels/

No offence, but when I carried that out with FH and DC, the maps just quit to desktop...

Also, I need to know how to

a) add the correct mod icons
b) add a loading screen image
c) add different class weapons
d) something else which I have forgotten :D

My computer recently died, so I cannot do anything for a while, so could I ask for a thorough step-by-step tutorial on how to make a FH map. Currently FH is more important to me :)
