[Help] BF2 editor problem

Post by tankninja1 »

I've just gotten into mappig and have been trying to set up the editor, and it works fine except I can't get PR and other mod content to load up. I followed the BF2 editor set up by Rhino and had a problem at step 4

4. Getting your content ready
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:
go to: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2" and locate the following two zip files: "Objects_client.zip" and "Objects_server.zip". One at a time, extract each to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects".
Now open: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects\"
Select all of the .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.

Mostly that last part that I bolded, for some reason I don't have the option to "Extract Here". Any suggestions or other ways to get past the .zip problem?

I have WinZip and trial version WinRAR

Well if you don't have the "Extract here" option just do this instead :

1. Select all the .zip/.rar files
2. Right click
3. Then do "Extract the files..."
4. On the top you will see something like :

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects\objects

Remove one of the "objects" in the line so it looks like that


C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects

5. Now click on "Ok"

It should work.
