[Help] can't find statics/missing statics

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
