Hi

I just downloaded Radiant and complile tools for cod2. I use to build maps for BHD with mission editor. I have read a ton of stuff on here and have done many tutorials . But i just can't figure out how to make a map with buildings and vehicles and stuff , am i missing something ??? In BHD all the buildings and stuff was right there ,you just had to pick what you needed...

Is this tool (Radiant) the map maker???? if so, do i have to build every wall and roof of every build i need,, Or am i missing something

please help

I have used the BHD editor too and I know what you mean. In radaint you do acctully need to build every thing from scratch and it may sound like a pain but this way you can do anything you want opposed to having to select from already built buildings.

P.S. If you dont want to build all your buildings I bet you could find some already made prefabes in the download section.

Radiant actually works like Lego. You have to build the walls, ceilings etc all yourself, out of so called brushes.

You can thus make buildings however you want them to look... simple squares to eleaborate castles... with twisting staircases and towers.. almost anything is possible.

I suggest starting with reading this tutorial. It's an introduction into building with brushes. It's for SP though, so if you want to make MP maps you'll have to use other spawnpoints, but everything else is basically the same.

Radiant also comes with example maps, open them and see how the maps were made... this is a great way of learning, as Stryker already pointed out.

As for the vehicles, those are models, there is a tutorial in the CoD tutorial section about how to add those to your map.
