CMP for FH2

[Dago Red]

In this first post, just below, should be a copy of the latest Community Map Pack information -- Melvin

The map rotation has been updated to include the latest Community Map Pack. Those 19 unique maps are mostly Pacific theater with one set for Berlin. These maps include the Japanese Axis soldiers complete with their uniforms, weapons, and vehicles. The large warships and aircraft of the Pacific are also included. There are 7 map sets and all have 3 size versions (16, 32, and 64) except one size for CMP Midway 1942. It is size 64 to capture the expanse of the war in the Pacific.

If you have any problems obtaining the maps or problems with them not working, please post here. Someone can help you. It is best to use the launcher to download these maps. For specifics, please see Stubbfan's post at https://www.bfewaw.com/showthread.ph...=1#post3255097

The top post of this thread should be kept up-to-date with the latest information regarding CMP maps on this server.

Redownloading the installer should work though. It fixed it for me and countless other people on discord. So first that link:
http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/d...cher-Setup.exe

Here's the manual links as well though:
https://cmpcdn.b-cdn.net/full/minimod.zip
https://cmpcdn.b-cdn.net/full/cmp-ma...-cmp-0.1.5.zip

However. There will probably be more updates to mod and maps in future. The mod link will be the same always and updated whenever there is a new version. The map pack will likely just increase in number, so next release will be called 0.1.6 etc.

You could also run the CMP updater directly with this if you for some reason fail to update your launcher:

Pubbie Thursday is a weekly event
------------------------------------------------
When: Thursday. Starting at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT / (1am Friday UTC)
Where: World At War's WaW #1 Server at IP 209.222.20.114 (no password)
Game: Forgotten Hope 2, a mod for Battlefield 2
Map Pack: Community Map Pack V3
VOIP: Use in-game or WaW's Teamspeak 3 server at ts.bfewaw.com, (no password)

Server administrators will be available. The server is running only the Community Map Pack (CMP).
------------------------------------------------

A full CMP download is provided here for those that have problems with the Community Updater or don't want to use it due to performance or security reasons. Treat this as a Mirror for the Americas. The full download is also available from the CMP-Gaming.com, a European site.

Full Community Map Pack (CMP) image download --
http://bfewaw.com/maps/MapPacks/cmp_301.zip
Extract to your BF2 .\mods folder, often at C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods
Permit overwrites; it will not impact your standard FH2 installation.

Here is a copy of server-only files. Players, do not use this for your installation; it is only for game servers.
http://bfewaw.com/maps/MapPacks/cmp_301_serveronly.zip

If sharing the download, you should share this thread's link:
http://bfewaw.com/showthread.php?t=292794

(*) The latest version of the CMP is best downloaded by using the Community Updater, if possible. As of this post update, the Community Updater can be found here:
https://cmp-gaming.com/topic/85-community-updater/
A full download of the cmp.zip is also linked in that thread. This file server is located in Europe.

------------------------------------------------

For those that do not have Battlefield 2 and/or it's modification Forgotten Hope 2, the Forgotten Hope team has a page to help. They give basic installation instructions, files for download, and links:
http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/fh2_downloads.php

Unfortunately, battlelog.co had to discontinue operations due to legal issues with EA Games. Clicking the link will get to to their "Revive Network" notice of shutdown.

Some people report problems with the free BF2 from battlelog.co, so try to dig up your copy of BF2 if you have one. battlelog.co says you do not need the BF2 patches 1.41 and 1.5 in order to play its free BF2, but they provide links to those patches for reference. If you are using a regular copy of BF2 (not the battlelog.co version) you will need those two patches for BF2. They provide links to them at https://battlelog.co/downloads.php#tools but you can also find copies at other sites; for instance, https://www.fileplanet.com/101829/0/section/Patches/

WaW #1 is now running the public beta version of the CMP.

If you have bug reports, comments, or questions on the maps, it is best to post your comments at the 762 forum. This subforum includes a thread for each map:
http://www.762-ranking.de/site/viewforum.php?f=26

If you have anything to report for the WaW #1 server, please post in this thread.

Hi Melvin, Came by tonight and found CMP- Faid Pass on the rotation. Showing the satellite icon indicating I do not have the map. I thought I was up to day. Please advise. Thanks.

[[WaW]CA|Melvin]

As far as I can tell, the server is up-to-date. That is, it is unchanged from the 20 March Beta release that went onto the Updater. I have seen no incremental updates.

CMP Faid is only available in size 64. I've confirmed that is all that is running on the server. (In other words, sometimes a size that doesn't exist is set in the map manager and that can mess things up but that is no happening in this case.) Also, I don't see anything about this at the Feedback forum thread for this map: http://www.762-ranking.de/site/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=923

You might check your installation of the game. See if cmp_faid_pass directory is in your levels folder. In that directory should be server.zip, client.zip, mapdata.py and under that a subdirector info with a .desc file and two .png files, (ignore the .old file).

FYI, I'm not able to get onto the game which is why all the verbiage above.

[Dago Red]

Faid pass is great, and definitely part of the latest beta release that has had no change as of yet. If you have the beta pack installed you should have it.

I'm told it's not a completely new map but unless you were in a tourney, you probably never even heard of it before (as I hadn't). I noticed it was made by Nerdsturm, a decade old wolfer and regular on the WaW server who everyone must know by now. Was hoping to pop in tonight and ask him about it but world events distracted me.

I have tried the update and it takes 13-17 hours to install. It is going back and forth between 1 and 2 seeders. Will take awhile. I thought the link above would download the current CMP map. That must not be the case. I might just wait till the beta is done since the update has been working for over an hour with 2 seeders and it is still 22%. Thank you.

***update. now the updater reports 49 seeds and the download speed has been cut in half. Completion time 24 hours. What is wrong?

As Dago says, it looks like there have been no changes since the beta release. Rather than the Community Updater, why not use the full download linked a few posts above? See here. There have always been issues with the Updater for some of us. This is why the full download is made available. For a new installation, the manual method is typically faster, too. Maybe your installation is corrupted; especially if only a partial update was done using the Community Updater.

Try extracting the full download over your current installation. If that doesn't work, then delete all the map directories of the CMP and extract again. The map directories are the folders under the .mods\fh2\levels folder. Here is a picture of the map folders in the CMP. I wouldn't delete the .mods\fh2\localization folder (which is part of the CMP) because it has fh2 localization files along with the CMP localization files; just let those overwrite. FYI, the folder date and time may be different to the picture if you used the Updater for the installation.

Thanks so much for the help. I think I downloaded the file a day before the latest update because my file dates are Jan 26. Ok just finished unzipping the file and all looks good. I will give it a try. Thank you again for your patience and instructions.

[[WaW]CA|Melvin]

bump -- Much more detail including event information and download links for all required files.

[[WaW]CA|Melvin]

bump -- A new version of the CMP has been released; version 3.0.1.

Thread updated, see here.

[Dago Red]

Thanks for putting that together again. I've had better luck with the community updater recently but there was only 1 seeder the other day and part of this took hours, then hung so I came looking,....

[[WaW]CA|Melvin]

You are welcome. It's really needed... not often needed, but when the Updater runs like molasses, it's nice to get a quick full download.

[Dago Red]

This all over again. CMP was integrated into the FH2 launcher (which is fantastic) but it quickly broke for a lot of people. Redownloadig the launcher doesn't work, nor does the repair function - all has been tried several times. And everyday people on game servers say they cannot get it to work either. Yet, I cannot find a link to a manual download file on any forums. Can someone please post this for the rest of us.


THANKS ! ! !

*Yes, I know the suggestion to join discord - a lot of people are not going to do that, but will simply log into some forums and click a link.

And yes, everyone should join discord, it makes everything so much easier

[Dago Red]

Thanks Stubbfan! I'll direct everyone here then.

You'd think re-downloading the launcher would work but it doesn't. The CMP portion is just gone - I only saw it once the first time and that's how I got the pacific + berlin pack initially. When the pack was updated, the launcher crashed and would not launch FH2 at all (not even vanilla - pop up with a bunch of string errors that others have posted) and the CMP update section had disappeared. Repair function does nothing but re-crash the launcher all over again.

I'll try the standalone updater first and see if that works, if not, at least there are direct links.
