In order to avoid multiples topics about the same thing, please, post here your questions about ZERO EDITOR (only this program please, do not make off topic questions)

Good modding customers!

I've been messing with the foliage brush in ZE. AQT explained stuff about the .prp file and how to set one up, but I still am not sure that I am doing it right. Of course, I named the .prp file properly, however I don't feel I added/used the lines parts properly. And I'm not really using 'foliage' per se, but more like 'junk' (as hinted by 'junk' I'm sure you guys know what kind of map I'm making). More specifically, Sky_216's Junk. I'm going to have to assume that my .prp file is wrong. I even made it look, in terms of format, the same as a stock .prp file, to no avail. And then I went with one of my thoughts afterward, just in-case. Either way, my map crashed from it and the BFront2 log didn't really show anything at all about it.

If you would like me to post my file here, lemme know and I'll copy everything in the .prp file and quote it here.

Forgive my n00bness on modding. Strange it took me over 5/6 years to finally really get into doing such. I mean, 'more intense' than the last times I tried and actually planning to release something, y'know?

Ok, making a map with multiple landscapes over a wide range of area, and obviously, alot of objects.


After a large sum of odf. (and corresponding .mshs) were added, the map crashes with no mungelog error, custom units and outside factors (such as foliage or water) have been ruled out.


Is there a certain limit to objects a map can have, and if so, is there a way to change it in the req or era/mode script???

I'm pretty sure there IS a limit, but I forgot the amount.

And as far as I recall, you cannot change that limit by any means. At least from my understanding.

The max object count is around 1000, but it varies a bit because there's a polygon limit for the models as well. I heard it was a 200,000 polygon count, but whatever.

Basicly what ever limit you reach 1st I would assume lol.

I can't figure out how to move/delete command posts? Could someone please explain how to do this?

Would it be possible to group objects that are already in the stock maps? I can't find a way to select them.

Also, I've set the number of AI for the republic on the map to 200, reinforcements 200 but only the minimum number show up. Why is that? Not enough cps?

Command Posts, what layer are you editing in? You'll need to switch the layer to conquest to move them.

As for the AI count in you lua script you will need to add in a line SetUberMode(1);

This allows there to be more that 32 AI.

I'm editing in conquest. What tool do I use to move, add or delete command posts?

Switch to the object mode and click on them...

It won't let me...

Huh? What modes does your map have?

The only mode I have is Conquest. I have no Idea why it won't let me select the command posts. They don't even show up on the object list.

Are you sure you're editing in conquest mode? When you open up your world, go to the top, the layers tab, select change and change to conquest.

Fantastic, thanks so much. I wasn't in the conquest layer. (Still getting the hang of the mod tools)
I can't find command posts in the odf files. How would I place new ones In the mod tools?

I have a problem with ZE for BF2, It allows me to load my map & everything, but it won't let me select anythhing or in any way edit the map. my PC is up to specs and my mouse is working fine. I have no idea what is wrong.

Are you editing in the conquest layer?

I've tried all layers and all at once, nothing.

Are you in the objects mode?

To rotate an object you press X. The middle mouse button rotates the blue axis, left mouse button rotates the red axis and right mouse button rotates the green axis.

Cool !!!
Thanks
