Battlecraft 1942

Hi everybody,

I need help, big help ! Please, map creators, help me !
Actually there's been a long time since I first began to create maps for BF42 with the editor. I know how to put meshes, control points, spawn points, vehicles, etc, how to make a relief, use water, etc.
But there's something I've never made successfully : texture my maps.

So, my map is ok, everything's good.
Now I want to texture it.

I click on "material mapper" button, and then select "Dry grass" for example. Then I click "Fill with material", so that the whole map is textured with dry grass.
I save, and "test the map".

But nothing changes, and the whole map seems to be textured by "default" texture. And my ground is grey, definitely grey.
I tried with many textures but nothing never changes.
However, when I click "Toggle surface view", the map is textured. But not when I play...

Please help me ! Did I miss something ? Do I have to set textures before or load a package or something ?

Just press Help -> Tutorial in Battlecraft 1942 and see "Step Seven: Painting Your Terrain". Also Users Guide has information about it in "5. Surface Map Assignments"

Re: Battlecraft 1942

Well, I didn't see that article before.
Actually, I had to "set surface map assignement" and then "generate surface map"

Thanks for your advice !
