[Help] Viewing PR models

[Cheditor]

When ever i enter the BF2 editor and select a PR model the 3 arrows appear but there is no model there. I have followed the BF2 editor set up tutorial. Anyone have something similiar to this?

make sure the client files of the vehicles are extracted as well as the server files.

also make sure your modmanager is setup correctly to load the vehicles.

Ok will double check files tommorow when i get a chance. One quick question is i extracted the two object files, but after i leave them in the location i dont need to do anything else?

Theres four files?

So now we have our basic mod setup but we still need to do some work before this can be usable by the editor.
First lets get the vBF2 Objects working with it. The easiest way in the current BF2 editor version is to do this:

1. go to: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects\"
2. Select both the "Objects_client.zip" and the "Objects_server.zip" files, right click on them and click "Extract Here". This will take some time like above, and overwrite any files it asks you to.

Can only find client and server there :S. Also will get screen shots tommorow when i can as the editor is on another PC which is currently being used.

extracting the vbf2 models isn't going to help him see the PR models Jonny

Besides, if everything is setup correctly it should load them strait from BF2 without having to unzip them.

The PR ones do use some vBF2 textures though...

I do not have the vBF2 objects extracted into my pr_edit and I load them just fine from the bf2 mod folder.

i dont know if it would help or not but try extracting the
"objects_client_patch.zip"
"objects_server_patch.zip"
There both found in the objects folder of PR....

that's only if you have 0.86 installed

and then they are only tweaks, not much new stuff in there apart from the WZ551A

Ok i have got some screen shots of what i am experiencing. I am going to use my attempts at loading the British Warrior as an example.

Here are error messages i get from loading the models.

Here is what the model screen looks like. Note the BF2 models appear so there is no problem with reading them.

Also when you are in the object folders, C/programsfile/ea/bf2/mods/pr_edit/objects. Do you need to have the extracted files in there are can they be in an extra folder so it looks like. C/programsfile/ea/bf2/mods/pr_edit/objects/objects_client.
Heres a Screen Shot of what i mean.

Also when ever i start the editor i get alot of red writing saying "ignoring ..." is that normal or could that be another problem?

[Cheditor]

Ok many of the files are the same name, do i put both server and client folders in same thing or? For example both client and server have a soldier file.

[Rhino]

The many ignored errors are normal.

The files should not be in any object_client or object_server folders.

yep.

you first need to put the client files in the objects folder, then take the server files and extract them over the top of the client files, overwriting any files that already there.

[Cheditor]

Ahh i thinks i see where its gone wrong. I believe it was saying that when you extract each file there will be some duplicate files. I didnt see i had to extract over them. Will try this out and report with feed back.

Ok got it all working, i found the problem was when i read the tutorial i extracted each individually and to their recommended place. Didnt realise i had to do it over the top, Thank you everyone who replied and gave me the help i needed.
