Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

So...I'm making a custom map. I was at a loss of what to put in the center of my city as a flag. A concrete bunker wouldn't much make sense, and I couldn't do anything like a park because it was on sidewalk. I couldn't use a water well because...its above a warehouse. So that wouldn't make much sense, lol.

But then I remembered: Desert Combat had market-like structures. I extracted these, put them in a standardmesh_005.rfa, the objects.rfa info into objects_005.rfa, and the names into battlefield1942.lst. Their name shows up in BattleCraft, but they don't appear, so I know I did something wrong.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

well, battlecraft doesnt create objects.

meaning ...

the standardmesh, texture and objects code needs to be run in that map.

in init.con a run command is necessary, pointing to ur object, like run objects/objects (points to the folder objects in map, in there to a objects.con)

within that objects file structure, geometry setting and sound if applicable need to be specified.

the folders standardmesh and texture therefore need to match the pathes specidifed in their corresponding con.

Take a look at Al_Nas and see how they ran the 5 Ton Truck or the static objects in there.

My problem was that the objects would appear in BC but not ingame. I eventually gave up on it because it wasnt workin.
