You have to be well outside of city limits to build a camp (I think it's 1500 meters). You can't build next to or close to an existing structure either.

Eternal - here you go my man from a former beta tester marksman/scout.

You say you have all the materials, well just to be clear; you need a generic crafting tool, then use the tool to assemble (basic camping kits) with the hides and bones you harvest.

If you are ahead of me there, good deal. Once you have the camping kits created you need to be 2K outside of a city and 50meters from the closest building (if there happen to be any near you in the wild), to set up a camp.

Also keep in mind you will achieve NO wilderness experience until you disband a camp. Do this using the camp info screen you will see just outside the entrance to your tent.

Hope this helps you out.

Can never get this to build...always get a message "no build zone"

This is outside the city on a mission...

Any help would be great..

I've found that you also have to be a reasonable distance from other game related buildings besides cities. You can't build next to a terrorist camp for instance even if it's abondoned. I'm not sure about player made structures like mining facilities, but I assume these won't be a problem.

Well, a little more info from you would be helpful, but I will make some assumptions here.

Assuming you are a scout, and that you know you need to harvest bones and hides, and have a generic crafting tool to make your camp kits from the bones/hides.

That said, all you need to do is be outside a major city by I think over 1000 meters (it was 2000 meters in beta), so I'm unclear as to the new distance requirement, but it is certainly under 1500 now. You also must be 50 meters away from the closest structure or building.

All of the above accomplished, select your basic camp kit, the radial menu will pop up, choose "USE", or double click the camp kit. Either will set up your camp.

You will notice a datapad, just outside the entrance to your tent. You will get NO wilderness experience until you disband the camp. To do this, select the datapad, get the radial menu, and choose disband camp. Having others use your camp with you while it is up will increase the amount of experience you get when you disband it. Also if you begin combat while in the camp, or leave the camp, it will auto-disband, and you will still receive the skill points.

Hope this helps, Vail.

The /help command will dump the available command list (I think this is correct). Turn on chat logging (/log) and then do a /help. Turn off logging (/log). Then view the logfile created in your SWG directory. You might find what you are looking for.

I seem to recall the /camp command worked in Beta2 (or maybe I wish it had), but that doesn't seem to be the case in retail at least.
