[Help!] Vista with BF2 Editor

[M_Striker]

I was just wondering, who here has Vista and maps/mods with the editor? Is Vista really bad with the editor? If any of you have Vista and mod could you tell me how bad it is? thanks

Vista Home Premium 32-bit on an HP laptop with external monitor running 1280x1024.

Very few problems. There's always that little message when you close the Editor asking if you want to see the .dmp file, but your map is just fine. I'm using it right now to make a map, and have very few problems.

Yeah same here with Vista 32.

listen, to say that vista is bad with the bf2 editor is rubbish, you just have to set the os to run it.

find your bf2editor.exe right click it then click properties. Then click on the compatibility or which ever one has those options, then look for a dropdown box that has a list of operating system names. (note it should be disabled at the time so you have to enable it by checking the check box above it.) then click the dropdown box and set it on "Windows XP SP2" then hit OK and start it and all problems will be solved.

Ok thanks, and just one question cause i didn't want to bump any threads... when selecting everything in the modmanager, box, when it all loads, you get alot of Red warnings right?

Almost every vehicle message was red with an error...

Yep, those red warnings are standard, and I've experienced no problems when I saw them.

ill just make this thread my help thread now lol, everytime i quit the bf2 editor, i get an error.. i mean i dunno what it means but it says <file description> has stopped working. everytime i quit the editor, once ive loaded my 1024 size map? Is it the size? when i started creating a terrain and i loaded the terrain at 1024 the editor crashed.. how do i fix this? I obviously dont want to go at 256 size map Thanks.

Edit: how do i test my map btw? I cant run Project reality EDIT, because it says i cant run PR with the BF2 exe?

Close error: There are two, and both cause no harm to the map, game or Editor, from what I've experienced.

Dmp file error:

Stopped working error:

^^ Both of these errors show up after closing the Editor. Everything still works fine tho, so no sweat.

Map size: I haven't done 1024 with scale 1 or above, so I can't tell you how to fix that on experience. My current map is 512 with scale of 2, thus I get a 1024 size square map to work on. Plenty of room to work with with that set up. Also, have a low-res size of 512.
