I know some of you are through most of the custom map development, so I wanted to hit you up to see if you guys could put down a step-by-step guide on how you did this. I'd like to create a sticky here for other map makers.

I know there are tutorials at bfeditor.org/forums/ but I haven't seen any good end-to-end tutorials. I don't necessarily need the details (yet) on how to do each step perfect. I'd like to start with the basics first.

I'll try to put a basic one together when I have time (ie when E3 is over and the drool is wiped off my keyboard)

I will try to do this as I make "Incense Road" sine I am a complete map noob it will be from that POV.

Has anyone drawn up such an all-inclusive guide yet?

With PRM being such a great mod with very few maps that show off its potential, I've been tossing around the idea of making a map with PRM specifically in mind.

So if anyone has spotted such a guide (probably externally) please post about it here!

I advise to look around. I've seen guides like this a long time ago. I'm pretty sure there are some excellent guides around already. Might save a lot of work.

This is my "depressed stance." When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this. ~Charlie Brown

I would be interesting in helping out. Granted I have no computer skills.

Check out this thread and go down to my first link: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlef...onus-maps.html

It will take you to PR map forum. Here you will find what the devs are looking for in a map.

P.S. Kilrogg is back, ask him about it, he's good.

Yeah, good call, Rick and asch (not to be confused with Rick Astley).

For those interested, there is quite a bit written over at realitymod.com. For those interested and lazy, here's a direct link to the PR modding forums.
