Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

yup. that helped.

except, ummmmm........ hehe..... what is the definition of serverside?

very simply put, server side changes mean it doesn't require a client download, or won't cause a client crash...

some things work server side, some don't! adding static objects server-side doesn't work. Adding kits that soldiers can pick up does work, so its server side.

If something requires a download for the client to use/view it properly, its usually called a 'client side mod'.

well, for pearl harbor, i am making a map from scratch that has to be downloaded.

but, lets say i want to edit a map like........Berlin.
if i wanted to add a building, would i have to add the building under the object spawns category, or would a building just not work?

also.......how can i edit road to rome, secret weapons, and DC maps? do i have to download a new modding program, or do i just download something for battlecraft?


----I just updated this post----
I tried to test the stuff that i have done so far on my new map that i made from scratch. When i pressed test, it did the loading screen for bf, then it started playing the sound that it plays while it is loading the map for about 1 second. then, the computer made a ding noise, and the screen went back to battlecraft. why did it do this? how do i fix it? do u want me to upload the file to fileplanet?

did you start from scratch? or is this the modded midway?

if you want to edit berlin, you can't add buildings/props..unless u want them not to see them. Thats big with some clans, so idk lol. It doesn't matter where/how u add them, they won't show.


For other mods, you need a .lst (list) file that tells battlecraft what all the objects are in your mod. Try google, or bf2files.com :-S

this one i started from scratch.

what do i need to look for on bf2files.com?
