[?] Editing .con files...

[Winstonkalkaros]

I have a slight problem. I can't save con.files i've edited. The reason was that i was blocked from saving them when edited. is it my computer administration or something else??

[Rudd]

check the file wasn't set to 'read only'

I recommend using editpad lite http://www.editpadlite.com/editpadlite.html

it warns you if the file is read only, highlights it in green as well

nice program, very easy to use but much better than notepad

[sylent/shooter]

is it a read only file? if so just go into the preferences and change it. If you're running vista it's a known problem that most .con files become read only for some reason

EDIT: DAMN ninjad

[Winstonkalkaros]

They are not marked read only, and i'm not running vista. And editpad seemed to be working but i could not save those files. So any suggestions?

[Rudd]

is there any particular message you receive?

Run wordpad as admin?

Suppose your work folder is under "Program Files\EA\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit" or such and cause it's "system" folder you don't have write priviledges.

Mke sure you login with account having Admin priviledges. Turn off UAC.
You can as well change folder access options, something like "Everyone - Full control"...

Moreover there's a couple of threads already on forums about this - didn't care to search though ...

I know this posts a bit out of date, but I know a solution. Copy the Init file OUT of the Program Files (Possibly onto your desktop), do your editing in note pad, save, copy it back and replace the old Init file - Sorted!
