1. How to put vehicle spawns?
2. How to change sides of an airfield/cv?
3. How to make a task group?
4. Can i make an H2H map without HQ, railroads?

[iwin2000]

1. Go to Objects tab. Click on the shape 'entpnt'. Change the setting of the entpnt to 'Vehicle Entry'.

2. If you mean countries...click on the 'settings' button up top, then click on 'Fields Setup'. Click on the base you want to change then click on a country.

3. Objects Tab...Under 'Shape Groups' click on 'cvtg0' and click on where you want it on the map (preferably over water...)

4. Yes.

I see that Falcon and iwin have answered your question.

Here a basic file that I had made up that should get a basic terrain to the Offline or H2H section of the game.

Thank you for the basic tut. But how to add waypoints for the CVTG? After adding cvtg0, i can't add waypoints for it.

Look in the upper right corner of the terrain editor, click Task Groups and you can set waypoints basically the same way your do in the game

After adding Task Groups, the Terrain Editor will not even know that they are there. I find that the only way I can Add Waypoints is to Save the Terrain and Exit the Terrain Editor.
Then I Restart the Terrain Editor and It will then recognize that the CV groups exist and allow me to add Waypoints.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this happen to them, But it has always been that way for me even in the AH1 Terrain Editor.

 Alot of things aren't fully recognized until you restart the editor, and hiting the save button doesn't save everything therefor the editor should be restarted frequently to avoid losing your work when it crashes, which it will rather often until you learn all its quirks.
