[Help] can't find statics/missing statics

[tankninja1]

I'm trying to place statics and it's beginning to seem like I'm missing a few. I'm missing the PR statics tab. I thought I had it at one time but now I can't find it.

I'm also missing vanilla BF2 statics like this building:


Can anybody help me out or know why I'm missing statics.
I've gone over the BF2 editor setup several times and I am still having problems.

PR static tab? I never heard of that, but im also new to bf2 modding.

The building in the picture is called xp1_chemical_facility_objects

maybe make a search in your directory and see if its misplaced? make sure your search include files inside zipped files.

/objects/staticobjects/xpak_objects/industry/xp1_chemical_facility/xp1_chemical_facility.con
thats the static u have posted
the path token from my map... think u might have to unpack xpack objects

[tankninja1]

What do you mean by unpack xpack objects I think that's the reason why I'm missing statics because I never did anything to the xpack stuff.

[pr|Zer0]

while in the editor, use the search function ("search resource") and use "xp1_chemical_facility" as a search string. If it doesnt return a result, you need to unpack xpack objects.
oh, and xpack = expansion package. unpack expack sounds a bit dodgy

What do you mean by unpack xpack objects I thought I figured out what you were talking about but I only succeeded in temporarily messing up my PR_Edit file.

Unzip the xpack object files like you did for vbf2 and PR objects.

I suppose you did as described by Rhino here? https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f189-modding-tutorials/14468-tutorial-setting-up-bf2-editor-pr-mapping-modding.html#post254101

Especially note step 1 to 4

[pr|Zer0]

Go to your game installation directory and open "xpack" folder". select both "object_client" and "abjects_server" archives and unpack into your pr_edit/objects directory. That's what I mean by unpacking xpack objects

Well I'm an idiot. Thanks for all the help. That really opened up the editor for me

FML can't find the vanilla bf2 American statics. What are they called?
