Hah, I was in the same boat as you. *Today* I tried following the tut to make DC Lost Village into a ctf map.
The tutorial is rather confusing.
Here are the changes you need to make to the original map:
1) Add a ctf.con to the root folder. It should contain the two flag locations (assuming beach for allies, and the top of the hill for axis?). Copy the rest of the ctf.con code from another map.
2) Copy that very same ctf.con file and put it in the GameTypes folder.
Thats it for the original map.
Make a patch file now for your map. Omaha_Beach_555.rfa or whatever. The only two files you need in it are ObjectSpawnTemplates.con and ObjectSpawns.con. You can copy them from Conquest. You need to make a folder named CTF in your patch file folder.
1) Put those 2 files in: bf1942\levels\mapname\ctf
After that...rip the spawners from a vehicle. Say a carrier or battleship.
This is the part I'm confused on...: If we can make a CTF mode when there was none, how come we can't make soldier spawns? Or how do people have regular control points in the map (like vermillion said is on a running server)?
