It's taken me nearly three years to finally get into actually and seriously making a BF2 map. Though after formatting my discs several times since I played BF2 everyday for at least 2 years, and losing a whole bunch of BF2 files including the editor and AI tools due to a HDD failure (stupidly hadn't got around to backing the files up {over 40Gb's worth}. I no longer have the links to any BF2 sites in my bookmarks that i used to have so have been flying blind these last few days. I'm particularily looking for singleplayer tools such as AI tools , light map tools and of course tools for editing and creating maps. I apologise if these questions have been asked numerous times before, but with two youngish children screaming around my ankles and a head full of morphine (I have to take morphine regularly) I find it hard to wade through the mass of posts that are found here. So please forgive me. Please would anyone point me in the right direction for downloading these tools. I'm really keen to start navmeshing my first map (before I lose the impetus) and then if that's successful to create some maps as well. I've got a renewed interest in playing the game and am determined to contribute something to this fantastic game. Thanks in advance to those who post links to essential and not so essential links or who are generally helpful. Winterhilf has linked me to thi site and Kysterama's AI tutorial so far.
Also is there a centralized resource for extra objects that can be added to BF2 maps. That is custom objects created by the community. I realise that using these 'may' require developing a mini mod to accompany the maps. (I reckon I'm being too ambitious, lol) though I do have the time as I no longer work.
