It's been a few years since i've last messed around with LevelEdit, and I remember being able to do simple things like adding guntowers to maps and custom spawns and PTs, and doing it server side meant just putting the .lsd and .ldd files in the FDS's data folder.. But i've forgotten how to do everything and it seems mostly everything has changed, but yeah.. I'd appreciate some help like:

1) How do I install a fresh copy of LevelEdit, and all the updated scripts and what not. (A full up to date tutorial would be nice.)

2) How do I get the 4.0beta4 "official" map .lvl files to add things like turrets?

3) How do I save the map mods, and upload it to the server? Do I combine it in a mix file?

4) How do I get map mods to be server side only and not force people to have the same exact map (and have to download it or whatever, and not mess with the whole hash thing)

Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm surprised you didn't just ask Zunnie for help since you're around him at MP.

Download the tools there.


Use level-redit made by Yrr to extract the .lvl source files off the maps. Can download it at www.game-maps.net

If you want the .lvl files we use for 4.0, you need ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/renegade/tools/Multiplayerlevels.zip
For the levels we modified, talk to Iranian who produced the map fixes we made.

As for using the fixes on the server, you should be able to just stick the new .mix files on the server without any problems as long as you are using the anticheat.ini included with the 4.0 FDS pack.

So I can avoid using Iran's map fixes, and simply work with the stock level files? Awesome.

So after i'm done doing whatever it is I did with LevelEdit, I'll have a .ldd and .lsd file, what do I do with them? Do I put them in a .mix file (if so how?) - if not, i'm assuming just stuck them in the data file. (Apparently the .lsd file isn't necessary at this point) - But, what do I have to put in the anticheat file?

Will it make people download my mod in their data folder? Still majorly confused with how to go about the anticheat :/

Put the .ldd in the FDS' Data folder, the modified map things should now load, later if you want to distribute the map you can compile them inside the MIX file itself but it isn't necessary.

No idea, never could get modded maps to work, reaver11 probably knows.

Toggle Spoiler


This is a tt.cfg for mission maps. The game definition is the name of the map when you set the map in BRenBot or whatever bot you use, objects.MXX is the objects.ddb from the individual map, and there's additional MXX.ddb (which doesn't appear in tt.cfg) which is temps20.ddb from that particular map.

Note (while this may be wrong) I don't even think you can change the objects.ddb server-side, just the temps - but they're seemingly required either way.

No, EA misconfigured the DNS for the Westwood FTP so it randomly redirects to the EA FTP but also sometimes randomly redirects to the Westwood FTP, see:

It's messed up for everyone, although it may not be noticable for some. ftp.westwood.com has a 50/50 chance of it directing you to the EA FTP, or the Westwood FTP..
