You do realize that this is the Project Reality forum right?
So I wonder why do you still want to play BF2 and or Special forces when you have PR?
Even if you don´t want to try PR you should probably try a different forum then right? Like a BF2 forum for example.

You need to edit two files:
"clientarchives.con"
and
"serverarchives.con"
both in your mod's main directory. You will need to add a few lines in, I will use the pr directory as an example:
Client archives edited (changes are underlined):
Code: Select all
rem checking for file that was auto generated in 0856
var v_ex
fileManager.fileExists shaders_client_pr.zip -> v_ex
if v_ex == 1
fileManager.deleteFile shaders_client_pr.zip
endIf
fileManager.copyFile shaders_client.zip shaders_client_pr.zip
rem custom mount for testing new fonts
fileManager.mountArchive menu/Fonts_custom.zip Fonts

Remember: Order Matters! You are telling the mod what files to load and in what order as your mod runs...
Additionally, if you intend to use the editor to add things for special forces be sure to add all of the files outlined in bold to your edit directory. When you are extracting files extract the xpack files first and then extract the ones for your mod. If you have any questions about any of this feel free to ask...
