maps, NEED HELP!!!!!

[MrB50]

Ok, Im new to map making, but, not new to DFLW. Been playing along time and finally decided to take on the challenge of map making. I have it figured out for a basic map, but, what i cant figure is this.....How do you add sounds and how do you add aeriel spawns?? I want to add a sky spawn so you parachute in. And, how do I add my name to the sky? I tried it but i didnt work. I cant get everything lined up to be legable. HELP!!!!!!

for paradrop spawns on left hand side in item attributes screen, the window when u click on item then click lower left box on main window on map, there are 3 boxes one above the next one. X, Y, and Z i think. to have a paraspawn just put 100 or higher in the first box of Z.

sounds are in decorations as snd_jap_ground and such. they apprear on the map as a marker, blue person looking marker in the editor map. you'll have to have the " /showall"
tag on the editor shortcut i think in order to have access to these.

as far as name in the sky goes...zoom in and line up some sandbags or whatever to spell ur name then raise them to a Z like a paraspawn. you'll probably have to set them to pitch of 180 also. this box is 2, i think, below the Z box.

Well, I might be stupid, but, I cant get it too zoom, and i dont have the " /showall? tag on the shortcut, and when I put it in, it still doesnt give me the sounds. How do I zoom in too see the detail I put in?

[MrB50]

Oh yeah, I have windows XP, so how do I makethe short cut show all??

first off...u need to d/l a version of the map editor for XP. it should also have blink groups already in it i beleive. check this site to see if they have a XP editor in database.

to zoom in press + or - keys or page up or page down.

for the showall tag create a shortcut for ur desktop. right click on ur d/l'ed map editor for XP and choose "create shortcut".
now right click on it once its on ur desktop. choose Properties.
on the 3rd thingy in that window should say "Target" and look like this.................................
"C:\Program Files\NovaLogic\Delta Force 2\Df2med131patched.exe" /showall

of course the shown above has the /showall already added so just click on target box and move cursor to the end.
add a space after the last " mark then type /showall. then click OK at the bottom of the window. and it should add everything, for the most part. open new map editor and look under buildings if there are alot of junk in there u don't know what they are then it worked. sounds are under decorations or objects or markers. they start like snd_japwind
and such. ok hope this helped ya some more.
