Is that an easy way to get objects to be placeable and visible?
Or what are you talking about exactly?

For specific objects like the tunnel from eagles nest, how do we go about grabbing and adding all the needed files? I’ve tried it twice now and it’ll never show up textured right in bc42 and nothing loads in game. Please advise.

Hi I realized I never did this. Here I’m jdc527, but in games it’s fuzzy sheep. Relatively new to modding, but I just wanna make and improve maps and maybe animations. I may post a lot for help, so sorry for bugging. You guys a a great team of helpers and I appreciate it. See ya on the forums.

Saw the video Senshi posted some time back that had b17s flying apparently by code. I’ve also seen this in a DDay map of Ste. Mere Eglise that had flying C47s as spawn points.
Can someone tell or show me how?

As they got lost before (understandably, as they really are posted in an odd place), I repost my "Beginner's tutorials on animation" videos here http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1ECA6BA7F4291CEA I only got the first two parts done, simply because there was no more interest in furth...

I have an issue with ed42, making a map in ed42 or editing a bc42 map in ed, no changes save when I pack the rfa to the 1942 directory. What am I doing wrong? If I try to load dice/modder-made maps the program crashes. Any idea of what's wrong? this didn't ever happen when I started developing aroun...

Hey fook are you able to share the video for how to use ed42 as unlisted? It’s been a while since I’ve used ed42 and I need a refresher. I don’t remember how/which files I need to import/export to and from ed in order to have changes apply to the maps in bc42. Cheers man.

If I can get my bc42 working again, would somebody care to design the terrain/heightmaps for some western coastal US areas and/or something like Warsaw from the 1940s? Cheers folks.

I’ve been unable to get bc42 to work lately. Even with new fresh installs and even on a different computer. When I boot up the program it tells me it’s failed to locate standardmesh and standardmesh001 and a couple times it’s said it can’t load staticobjects. Anyone have any advice? This is a issue ...

I've gotta find the website again but I found a guide online that showed a step by step of what to do with your files both in bc42 and in terms of folders on your pc.
