Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Extract the Market_Garden Patch to your desktop, find the folder, follow through, bf1942, levels, until you reach the main level folder, and put a new folder there. named "Texture"

Put the Texture folder in the map patch or in my BF directory?

map patch FTW

innnn the Mapppp Patch. wheres the signer when we need them?

Okay. So far, nothing's worked. Here's my process in full.

I take a texture, say, 1P_Willy_I.dds, and I extract it from my textures.rfa. Then, I edit it, save it, and make sure it's saved. This has always worked for me before, so I don't think the problem lies with the texture itself.

Next, I open my extracted file on my desktop (bf1942, levels, Market Garden) and there are these files: Conquest, texture, and Textures, and then Init.con and StaticObjects.con. I Modded all of these, and created Market_Garden_005.rfa.

So then, I open the folder in there called texture (the one I created) and inside that there's test (that I also made) and inside that I put my edited 1P_Willy_I.dds. The address bar reads C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Desktop\bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\texture\test

So in Init.con now, I put the line: textureManager.alternatePath bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\texture\test

I do this manually, in the actual Init.con file. Then I do the same thing in WinRfa. Same line, same place, whatever. Maybe the problem is there, I don't know.

Next, I save everything and pack the bf1942 file into Market_Garden_005.rfa and move that into my levels folder, and then start up the game. I load Market Garden Conquest in Create Game (local). All my other mods are there. I hop into the willy (I guess 1p means 1st person) and look around for my edited texture....Nothing. I try all the views and positions and whatever, and it's not there. =\

So I think that either 1. My modding is cursed for some reason, 2. Maybe the textureManager.alternatePath bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\texture\test line is somehow incorrect, 3. Maybe I need to put the whole thing in that line, textureManager.alternatePath C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Desktop\bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\texture\test...but that doesn't make sense, 4. Maybe it's cuz I edited the Init.con manually and then through WinRfa.

Thanks for your help guys, let me know what I'm missing here. =)

Nope, it's \

Okay, so basically, I did all that except I switched "texture" to "CustomTexture" and took away the "test" folder and put the edited "1P_Willy_I.dds" in CustomTexture, and in the Init.con I put in textureManager.alternatePath bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\CustomTexture

And still no dice =\ I gotta be doing something wrong here, but what?

Sorry for double-post, but I noticed,

Should it be textureManager.alternatePath bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\CustomTexture

or textureManager.alternativePath bf1942\levels\Market_Garden\CustomTexture
