How do you put Project Reality Objects in? I can't find them. It isn't on the list.

Diving strait into PR mapping will only get you really confused with maps crashing when only trying to test them ingame as the first load of tutorials do not tell you how to set your map up for PR. Once you have learnt the basics and got a simple, small test map done which you can run around on and has a few terrain features, statics, roads, perhaps some overgrowth and undergrowth too etc, then its time for you to look into PR mapping.

I am not really new I have made some maps for vBF2 and the community liked em! But I have another question, When you are extracting the files are you opening them up?

Just follow the tutorial. Right click on the zip and select "extract here".

Got a little problem, when painting my map I tried to change the render mode because the super shiny white map was killing my eyes, so I changed from "Object Normal Mode" to "Object Color Mode", so the map was darker and it felt better to work on it with this render mode. But when I tried to continue painting I couldn't, even when changing back to the other render mode.

And there were big black squares where I worked before activating this render mode. Now all this work is lost, I can't find a way to get my painting back, and the minimap doesn't show it aswell now, while it was before this bug

EDIT : Started a new map, don't need the help, just hope that this won't happen again :/

tutorial on how to set up Insurgency mode please ^^

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

put down two main base flags, one for each team, make unchangeable, place down spawns for both teams, then for the insurgent/taliban etc team, place a load of ammo caches down as an object spawner, team locked to team 1 and the python code will do the rest. Look at another insurgency map's GPO.con for more tips.
