Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Hi, I'm a modding n00b and have some questions for the smart people out there...

1) I used Winrfa to make an (for example) Omaha_Beach_005.rfa file. I opened that in Winrfa, and put in a code that has worked for me before. Saved the map to my levels folder, tryed it, got a crash. What's up?

2) I tried this code

ObjectTemplate.Active Willy
objectTemplate.speedMod 0
ObjectTemplate.damageFromWater 0
ObjectTemplate.hpLostWhileDamageFromWater 0

Which, I assume, should make the Willy jeeps in the map "indestructable" to water and the like. I got a crash.

3) I tried this code

ObjectTemplate.Active Colt
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate BazookaProjectile
ObjectTemplate.projectilePosition 0/0/0

Which, I assume, would make my colt shoot a bazooka round. I got a crash.

I added all these to my ObjectSpawnTemplates.con file in my Omaha_Beach_007.rfa. However, they didn't work. As far as I know, my crashing problems are not from the codes themselves, but from the extracted Omaha_Beach_007.rfa file I made. It's worked for me before, I don't know.

Also, if you have time, I'd like to learn some new codes. Such as a customizable turbo-jeep mod, that's not the KatyushaRocket_Engine one. It doesn't matter that much, but that high-pitched engine really bugs a lot of people. =P I'd like to know that, and how to change what my weapons shoot (such as colt shooting bazooka round).

Sorry for dragging this out. I'm brand new to Server Side Modding, but it's fun and I want to learn more. Please help, with detailed instructions. Thanks ya'll!!

Thanks dagger, my jeep is now invincible. =)

Maybe it was crashing earlier because I tried to test it with the map still open in Winrfa? I'm not sure. It worked this time though.

All~ Can anyone help me on the pistol shooting a bazooka round? I need a code for that and a location on where to put it. Thanks guys.

ObjectTemplate.Active Colt
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate BazookaProjectile
ObjectTemplate.projectilePosition 0/0/0

..is correct. Post what other code you have in OST.con...or what files are in your patch file. Something isn't right here...

He's not the first with crashing omaha_beach.
Myself I had no prob with modding that map.
RFA explorer maby?!

Thanks guys, I got the colt to shoot a bazooka round. =) It's pretty cool. However...

The map crashes when I put it on my server. Every time. Is this a Client-Side only mod or what? I can load it when I create a local game, but on my server it makes BF crash to desktop. Check my other post on this for more details. Thanks for all the help.

Here they are, Iced, though they're in my other post.
