Also there is no point sending any test maps or w/e with the objects in them since I look at all my objects in the object editor where I can see clearly all the details etc.

Will take a look if I have some time but doubt I'll have some for a bit.

Dutch folder just has to be extracted into the /staticobjects Will in future have the structure to the MOD thanks for the pointer. With the level think its useful to see what looks like ingame. Soldier Mode doesn't work in my editor

Yeah, I placed all our current static objects in: object/staticobjects/dutch/*, so the directory is fine, smee.

Ice's sign is also placed in there, to keep it all nice and tidy (the location originally was different, so was the name, but spaces in a name is a big no-no, Ice ).

so ye anouther reason why you should get one static 100% finished before moving on as now your going to need to go back over all your old statics and re-export them into good locations as staticobjects/dutch/ etc is not a good place.

Did you manage to make any progress on this m8?

I think they are worth it and so do alot of other people, our test team including the soldiers that went there loved them.

I wouldn't (/pretty sure I didn't) say they are not worth it, more that you need to have a full understanding of the basics before you move onto complicated statics like this Guardhouse thing

Good to hear, thou a chair/table is probably too simple tbh but at least getting them finished and 100% and having me happy with them will give you some where to start from

Also make sure you only use the vBF2 Common texture pallets and common textures in the pr/textures/ areas (ie, not me_village etc texture pallets) so they can be used on any map

Was worried I had fully put you off with my feedback but I had to be honest otherwise you would be making loads of statics that couldn't be used which would have been much worse for you.
