OK, I've never modded squat before in my life, and I'd like to start with 2142. Now, I can use the help files to get where I need to start; but...I don't know how to use the bf2 editor in order to use 2142, since it doesn't look like EA plans to release the new editor before this year. I have the bf2 editor, but to me it looks like the whole thing has a different file layout that it does not recognize. I tried putting the entire bf2142 file as a mod in the bf2 mods folder, and unpacking the client and server zip files; which allows me to edit the terrain, but...the level editor shows the exact same thing as the terrain editor. In effect, I am asking for some step by step instructions on how to use the bf2 editor for bf2142. I know that I need to download some stuff for the vehicles, but I'm not even there yet...

modding bf2 right now is easier so if you have that start modding on that. the best type of modder to be really is everything but moddelers are always liked and needed so its good to know that but being youve never started before you should learn either coding or texturing with photoshop look around here bfeditor.org/forums after youve pinned one of them mapping is the next step there are lots of mappers but only a few hundread Pro standard mappers (I.E. PRMM's Rhino or BF pirates 2's [TUF]Catbox)
