Thanks for the reply archer but that doesnt seem to work either. Maybe its just me. dunno
Here's a pic of my fist quick map i made..... just a zero on top of a hill. I made a soldier spawn point (next to the plane)
but when i reload from a save it doesnt seem to show up. Guess i'll worry about that later. I'd just like to be able to load the map for now.
I use MDT/WinRFA to pack the file. I set it to base path of bf1942.
Here is a pic of the files in the dir after a save....
Here is my .RFA

I thought well since I can't get a newly created map to work I'll try and load a map that i know works and just mod it slightly,
then try to save it and see if that works. So I loaded up one of the original maps (Kursk) and then just deleted a single section of fencing
and saved it - then packed it and this had same results as my newmap. The original Kursk had many files in the dir...my save had just a few like the pic above.
Anyway, I decided to copy over the new files I had just made into the extracted Kursk.rfa dir (overwriting existing files), which didnt work either.
There was 3 files associated w/ the Kursk.rfa i was able to extract two but the other was a single dds file. I just left that alone. Mabye that was my prob. Or combining the two files into one caused a problem.
