Can I edit already existing maps?

Post by TheClaw00 »

I want to add some new vehicles in the game's original Endor map and the conversion pack's BF1 Cloud city map, is it possible for me to do that?

It is possible, and you would have an easier time if you have access to a map's source files. Fortunately, source files to the stock SWBF1 and SWBF2 maps are available, and the following tutorial can help you edit them:

Thank you, where could I find the source files for Cloud City for SWBF2?

They were not included in the Bf2 modtools. You can get all Bf1 source by downloading the BfBuilder (bf1 modtools): https://www.fileplanet.com/148801/14000 ... tion-Tools

Similar question, how can you open a user made map in ZE? I want to see how a map was made and can't open it without the .wld file.

Hi, welcome to gametoast.

You can't without the author actually sending you the source files.
