How to edit map?

Recommended Posts

I have heard, and even seen some videos where people come across parts of the map that have been edited. Buildings added etc.

I am probably going to be hosting a server, and would like to edit the Chernarus map a bit, customize it some to make it a little different.

Does anyone have any links or guides on how to do this? I saw a post on here recently and can't seem to find it now, where someone had posted screenshots of changes they have made.

I play on a server with custom buildings added and i didn't need to install that. I guess you can make a script that creates objects at specific locations and then run it on start.

You have to edit your mission file in the 3D Editor. Google a tutorial, I figured it out my self and it's not too hard.

Can you link the one you used? I found one but it didn't seem to explain how to remove current buildings. Whenever I go in I am stuck in like a prone view, can't figure out how to elevate myself to a higher view.

I basically want to remove some buildings in towns, or remove towns completely, and add buildings where I like. I managed to add a few buildings here and there just messing around quickly, but got a little frustrated with the view.

Do the buildings automatically have zombie/loot spawns when you place them? Also, how do you modify loot spawns/zombie spawns and such. I've heard people changing zombie behavior to make them harder too, can you do that in the map editor as well or is that some scripting you need to figure out?
