Catbox 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 the info folder should be in your map folder... then make a picture 512x512(of whatever you wan't) and name it.... loadmap and save it as a .png in photoshop and then paste it over the loadmap.png thats in the info folder... do the same for the other .png files... such as... gpm_cq_16_menuMap.png CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catbox 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 try making a map the same size(name it... Test) then erase the lightmaps folder in your map you made... then replace the lightmaps with the lightmaps from your Test map into your map folder... then start BF2 and it shouldn't crash... at least not because of unopenable lightmaps...

mschoeldgen[Xww2] 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 The colormaps are created when you paint your map in the terraineditor :wink: Before saving them, remove the read-only flag from the 'colormaps', 'detailmaps' and 'lowdetailmaps' folders in the map. The new editor accidently creates them read-only.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
