| Check this video (and the other too, because they are GREAT to show you how you map with Editor42.

| Simo, have you looked into the Readme file at all? 
Quote STEP 2 - EXTRACTING THE RFAs
Editor42 won't read the RFA, so you need to extract them yourself.
2.1 - Create a directory where you will put your extracted content.
The location and name can be anything. In this section I will use
c:\bfdev\ as a reference.
2.2 - Create the following directories within the base directory.
c:\bfdev\bf1942\levels\
c:\bfdev\objects\
c:\bfdev\standardMesh\
c:\bfdev\texture\
2.3 - Extract the OBJECTS.RFA file included with the game and mods into
c:\bfdev\objects\
(With RFAExtractor, you will have to specify c:\bfdev\objects\)
2.3 - Extract the STANDARDMESH.RFA file included with the game and mods into
c:\bfdev\standardMesh\
(With RFAExtractor, you will have to specify c:\bfdev\standardMesh\)
2.4 - Extract the TEXTURE.RFA file included with the game and mods into
c:\bfdev\standardMesh\
(With RFAExtractor, you will have to specify c:\bfdev\texture\)
2.5 - Extract the needed levels' RFA file included with the game and mods into
c:\bfdev\bf1942\levels\my_level_name\
(With RFAExtractor, you will have to specify c:\bfdev\)
2.6 - If you want to display trees, first convert the .TM into .SM using 3dMax
and then put them all in c:\bfdev\standardMesh\ . Don't forget the shaders (.RS) too.
NOTE:
Objects, texture and standard meshes need to be EXTRACTED for Edito42
to display them correctly, else it will use default box model and texture.
BTW I suggest you using this tool for managing RFA archives.

| what object list? Try to load some map into the program to check if everything works. Remember that you must unpack BF1942's archives as first, FH goes next and FHSW goes last. The order is crucial. Same about map's rfa archives.

| Quote (SimoHayha) Is it just the archives file i have to unpack or objects textures and meshes as well for Bf1942, fh and fhsw?  Unpack the following archives to Editor42's directory: Objects.rfa, Texture.rfa, Standardmesh.rfa in the following order: (!)
1. Battlefield 1942 archives, 2. then FH archives, 3. then FHSW.
Note that there are two versions of FHSW's objects.rfa. Don't unpack the one that is stored in your Mods directory. The necessary file can be found in ForDevelopers folder of the RARed FHSW version.
