[Request] Need a quick favor

Post by MichSt-Spartan »

Can one of the more experienced mappers here (who can get their maps to run in-game) post a screenshot of the contents of their C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit folder? I'm still getting errors when I try to run my mod in-game, and it's really starting to piss me off. The people on the bf2editor forums are useless, they know nothing about PR (except for Rhino). Thanks in advance.

Here's what mine looks like:

your staticobjects folder should be in your objects folder, main thing i can see wrong by your pic. Also the other thing I can see wrong is that you dont have a common_client.zip and a common_server.zip in your main directory (look at gazes pic).

My PR_EDIT is kinda messy with all the things going round, I know how it works, just ignore the menu_ and object_ zips as they are not ment to be there, thats just the defualt location BF2 pack packs them too and i aint bothrted to delete them :p

Hmm... I have an extra folder named staticobjects, and I'm missing two seemingly custom-made files named Profile_BF2Engine_initEngine.txt and Profile_BF2Engine_initEngine.t... (something). Any chance you know what those two files are? I don't mean to be a pain, but would you mind posting the contents of your clientarchives.con and serverarchives.con too? Thanks for the help.

Here's mine:

Clientarchives.con

Code: Select all

fileManager.mountArchive Common_client.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive objects/Objects_client.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive menu/Menu_client.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive menu/Fonts_client.zip Fonts
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Objects_client.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Common_client.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Menu_client.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Fonts_client.zip Fonts
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/shaders_client.zip Shaders
Serverarchives.con

Code: Select all

fileManager.mountArchive objects/Objects_server.zip Objects
fileManager.mountArchive menu/Menu_server.zip Menu
fileManager.mountArchive Common_server.zip Common
fileManager.mountArchive ../bf2/Objects_server.zip Objects

It probably doesn't help that I have no kits assigned, but I don't think that's the problem.

what maps this for?
have you placed spawn points in the level editor?
only other thing i an think of at the moment is unpacking the zip folders in pr_edit/menu/folder to that location.

No, it's been fixed before, but the error is back again but stronger (like cancer). See, I added the kits in, it worked, I celebrated, threw a party, and did some more work on the map. I had some problems with it not updating when opened in game, and then I realized that I had left an old client.zip and server.zip in the map folder. I tried running it again with those removed, and I get smacked with the exact same error, but this time my init.con DOES have the kits.

How long will that be? And what upload site should I use? It's 333 MB.
