Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

I've currently made an AI addition to one of my BFv maps, I was wondering If any of you people know how to path find for the AI's.

I've downloaded botinator but I'm unsure what to change in the pathfinding at the moment. I was also wondering if anyone knew if you could add the in-games map dds file to teh botinator to have a template to draw over on botinator.

If your confused. I've posted some pictures also. I hope this goes the same for BF1942.












Your help would be appreciated.

I've read a lot on it, but never done it myself. I'll refer you to cajun wolfs tuts..:

There is a part in BF Botinator in which you are suppose to pack your map up, run the game, start the map, and let it crash. This process generates the Path Maps, and asks you if you want to skip it or not. After generating them, you can open them here, and edit them.

You can also do them in photoshop if your careful enough.

well I have done that. The game opened up the map in single player then crashed (normal) I teh proceeded to follow the instructions. But I didn't go directly to teh advanced options. If this would have helped I can easily do this over again. But is that maybe why It wouldn't work>?

Also botinator doesn't change the path it jsut makes everything show the bot that they can walk or drive or fly through it. Like for example I had a tank drive through walls and try to go under water.

So i'll keep looking on how to do this.

Its probably cause you didnt go to your Battlefield 1942 main directory and get the path maps.

If you go to the main directory, you'll see the folder bf1942 out of place, not in the mods folder. In there will be a folder with your map name, and a Pathfinding folder within that. Inside that Pathfinding folder are the Path Maps, they need to be copied into your map folder, and overwritten the old ones.

I have cameras in your head!

well i tried following cajun wolf's tuts But something went wrong. At one point the tutorial says that once you've ran the game in COOP, ( i take it it's single player 4 BFV) That botinator should make a folder called BfVietnam in the games directory. When I looked for the folder it wasn't there. Any idea what happened?

COOP is when you make a local game with bots, right?
