Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

ok, this is such a simple thing and it's causing me so much trouble. All i want to do..is use the map GuadalCanal.rfa and change some spawn times for the planes. There are 3 files -Guadalcanal.rfa, Gaudalcanal_00.rfa, and Guadalcanal_003.rfa. I tried changing spawn times in only the _003 file And only the original map file. I even tried changing the spawn times in both of the files. Neither worked. I set the spawn time to 2ish seconds..and then ill test it by running battlefield in singleplayer and playing on the map. As soon as i spawn i blow up the planes with rockets and i wait to see how long it takes them to spawn, and no matter what i do, it still takes about 2 minutes to spawn the planes. Heres what i have in my objectspawntemplates.con:


ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner FighterSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 corsair
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 zero
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 02
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 04
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10


ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner DiveBomberSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 sbd
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 aichival
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 2
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 4
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10



--------
Note: for the spawn times i have "02,04" on the first and "2,4" on the second..this is just because i wanted to see if one worked and one didnt..but i tried both ways several times.

i put 10 on min and max spawns n 10 seconds

ok, i edited the _003.rfa file:

ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner FighterSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 corsair
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 zero
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 10
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 10
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10


ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner DiveBomberSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 sbd
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 aichival
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 10
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 10
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10



it STILL took the damn spawns about a minute to spawn...i dont get it

---------

That looks fine to me...there isn't a 004 file is there?

_________________

no ..there is definitely not a _004 file...i dont understand this


since the file seems to not have anything wrong with it, is there any way the actual file is not being read? thats the only thing i can think of..the file is right..but its not being read or something

If you think it's not being read, then you'll need to provide more information. Get specific.

Are you running this on a server?
Did you upload the correct file? To the correct place?
Did you reload the map after you made the change?

Tell me exactly what you tried to do, and how you went about it.
