Hi, How can I make maps for CoD2 (test maps for a project I'm working on) while I do not own the game? What files are needed to get the editor running? I'm not planning to play the game, I only hear bad news about the game, but I need to make some little test maps. Or should I crack the game and delete it when I'm done....:S, not my favorite methode :/. So what files do I need? :) Thank you, Full-Demon

Well, you must have the game to map for it effectively. In particular you need all the textures. You won't be able to test your map (the best bit of mapping imo) without the full game. I would just go and get it - maybe the shop will part exchange it for something else :-/ (something my local does) edited on Jan. 27, 2007 04:22 am by Pedro699

Dont think that'll work... I don't need to make playable nice maps with all textures, I want to test things out and see how it gets saved in a .map file. However, the editor wants me to have cod2 installed :S

Okay, I'll explain it a little more. I want to make a map converter to convert .map files from coduo (bought that game...ofcource) to cod2. However, I don't know what is different in .map files from cod2, so I would like to make test maps in the editor (i.e. a brush and a plane, to see what is different with coduo). I don't need textures etc, only the editor. For gtk games, I can just download the editor and test, but cod2 has a very 'effective' security for that :S, weird... Don't mis read my previous reply, I'm against illegal games (ppl that dont buy it). I always buy stuff, but for somethign small as this I don't really want to pay...you see the problem? I'm not going to play the game, because than I would already have bought it. Its me only about the editor... Full-Demon

none - you can open the .map into the editor and compile from there - however none of the models or textures exist in cod2 so you have to replace them
