Hey there, i want to start mapping for 2142.
I've got experience in mapping with the Source engine and i was hoping you could tell me where i could get the 2142 editor from.
I've heard that it may only be possible to use the BF2 editor and manually change files so if so, how is it done?

Yeah, you export BF2142 from the 2142 mod folder to the BF2 mod folder and unzip it all. There isn't a BF2142 editor out yet.

The best place to start would be the Editor forums. You can get step by step tutorials and they'll link to the EA ones too. Mapping in 2142 will be much the same considering the maps were made with a slightly tweaked bf2 editor.

for a good mapping tool go to the sir community website and download the bf2142 sandbox editor. it`s simple and it make awesome bulidings. I made several bulidings including barracks, hangars, skyscrappers that I could go inside, ETC. if you`re a starter in modding like me, download bf2142 sandbox.

Sandbox is not an editor. It's a mod for the game. ;)

I only wish modding was playing a game.

Crisis, what Sir. Shpox already wrote: The Editor forums (http://bfeditor.org/forums/) should be a "Must Visit" for you :). Another good resource - especially if you plan to release maps for Singleplayer - is the BFSP Forum (http://battlefieldsingleplayer.planetbattlefield.gamespy. com/forums/).

Too bad when you make a part of your map on an editor, then you could play it instead of making a beta.:cry:

You should look for one of those editor tools on other forums.

Wtf... Dude, the mod doesn't even have anything to make buildings with. Just a hollow crate, a spawnable walker, and yeah, it's in beta right now, nice lie though.
Any word on when the map editor is going to be released? I want to start building!

i've seen DICE people on this forum, maybe we'll get an answer?:hi:
but yeah, the BF2 editor can be used to achieve most things...take a look at what the guys on the First Strike mod are doing...amazing stuff.

Do you need BF2 to get the BF2 editor?
Still no editor or word from DICE. I'm only asking where the editor is, and when will it be here. I have been waiting over 5 months for this thing. This is starting to get lame.

No good. I tried also, but they just ignore any message about editor tools. I even phrased it in such a way so that they could tell me if they were even releasing mod tools at all, but they didn't even respond to that. I'm not overpleased about this...

Well, I spoke to Colin Clarke, the DICE Community Manager. He assures me it's coming.
Get comfortable.
