i was lazy and couldn't be arsed to read the whole topic.

I dont know if there are any d3 mappers out there but if you have dabbled in d3's radiant (think its called radiant too) then you will know that meshes dont exist (i think). Any or all terrain creation (i.e. hills) have to be done with an external modelling program such as Maya or 3ds max.

Both d3 and CoD2 are using a 'primitive' version of of the q4 engine. (i say that because there are still many bug in the engine, most of the have been resolved now though).

I write this post to see if I am correct. If there is a mesh system in CoD2's radiant then can you correct me please.

I hope there is a mesh system in CoD2 Radiant... I once tried to master RTCW and ET mapping (thats how i got into mapping) but you coulndt make meshes in Wolf Radiant and so you had to make them with heightmaps in EasyGen... EasyGen was a total bugger to work with and you ended up with a mass of triangular blocks that you could not edit in radiant... I'd much prefer to make meshes in Radiant and edit them with the patch editor... Although, if CoD2 Radiant doesn't have a mesh system and CoD Radiant and CoD2 Radiant are cross compatible I could make my terrain and patch meshes in CoD Radiant and import them into CoD2 Radiant...

Thanks all, been waiting for this to come for a while, cant wait for all this new mapping got a lot of experiance from coduo, looking forward to the new mapping tool

CoD and UO had meshes - no reason why CoD2 wouldn't :). But the cold truth is, we just don't know yet

i honestly dont think there there will be a mesh system. It makes sense, a lower poly count on terrain is the result of using an external program to create terrain thus a lower fps.

Poor me!

I think it would only be logical to include a mesh system.

I hope you cant convert cod maps to cod 2 because i want to see all bran new fresh maps for cod 2

if people want a map for cod 2 and they can convert there old map they will more likely do that and not create a new map. But if they cant convert there map the odds are we will get a bran new custom map for cod 2

I know im just gonna build fresh maps for cod 2

Yes, but those maps you didn't finish yet on CoD, you can finish on CoD2 with all the new eyecandy

Whats SDK Mean?
