hi, im babycop...maybe you have heard of my 2 sp maps for coduo called sp_plane and sp_offensive...now im in the middle of finalizing my cod2 sp map called leningrad...which will feature squad based battles, many fx, ai animations, custom music, and stuff like that...a first for a cod2 sp custom map...so keep an eye out for it...you should get it soon...and since im getting experienced with sp scripting, more maps should be relased afterwards :)

cheers

Jbarradale, nice work you have done by writing that Radiant tut. that there aren't much or any tuts around for Cod2 mapping is logic, because it's the same as Cod1 mapping, or Mohaa or sof2 mapping for that matter. although those last 2 games are indeed a bit different. but not much. best is to look through the loads of Cod1 mapping tuts, and use them for your Cod2 mapping atempts.

Thank you SPY, I just gathered that from some posts, especially after glancing at one tutorial, it said it could be adapted to Call of Duty 2.


So, now I will start to peruse the extensive gallery of tutorials again and find the answers to the many questions, which of course will create more questions, ho hum, sigh....

I was able to create a map, with terrain in the Unreal editor after only a few minutes. Yet there is probably less documentation that I found. I switched to Call of Duty for some unknown reason before looking for documentation.

Oh well.

Thanks again, back to reading.

Hi, I'm Tim. I'm 47 Y/O who loves to play PC games, especially COD series. I'm new to this map making stuff and will need a LOT of tutorials to get me started but, I'm unable to find them. My goal is to create sp maps for me and my wife to play(she's going to be the tester for me). Eventually, I would like to be able to convert some other game maps from different games to be used for this same purpose, if that's possible. The ultimate goal for me is to create an "expansion pack" type add ons for the COD 2 for me and my wife to enjoy and possibly post them on your site for others as well. There is NO commercial intent on my project, it's all for the enthusiasts like myself who, want more than what Activision provides for us gamers every few years. Too bad they decided not to make COD 3 for PC's!

Hi Tim,
good to see another 'oldie' , i'm 43. most mappers are a bit younger then us.
good to hear to that you want to start sp-mapping, have you mapped before with other games? what i understand from your test you haven't.
let me first explaine that it is possible to convert some maps from other games and rebuild them a bit so they can be used for Cod2. but this can only be done when these maps from other games are build also on a GTK Radiant version (because that is the editor that is usde for Cod(2) mapping. you can easely use Cod maps for Cod2 mapping. that is, you can use the map (world) proberly will some cod1 entities work in cod2, but maps from other games that are build with Radiant, there entities will not work and have to be replaced with Cod2 entities, same as for the textures. they also need to be replaced. or the original textures have to undergo a batch convertion and these files have to be placed in cod2, what takes quit some work. you could for instance use maps form games like Sof2 and Mohaa, but the size of things is different, so that wouldn't help. believe that the things in Sof2 are twices as big, so it would feel like you're 40 centimeters high in a map. fun, but not what you want i asume.

then about good tuts, i have to say that there are not many good clear tuts around. and i have to warn you, some of the tuts placed on Modsonline are in correct. or corrupted, they don't work. a shame but true. still, a whole lot of them do work, please look at the left of this site in the list Tutorials and look for the Cod (1) and cod2 tuts, and best is to start with a tut that have titles as; How to learn mapping Radiant, First room tut, etc. even better when you use the video tuts, they show you the best way how you could get started.

succes,

leon
