[Help] Can't extract files/edit in BF2/PR zip
Posted: 2010-07-12 06:43
Hey guys,
I've been trying to do several things to learn to mod and modify kits in BF2 and PR but im having a problem. The objects server zip and similar files will not let me extract as per Rhinos tutorial(if anyone has checked that thread out) in winzip I try to extract and I get a error message for every file extracted that says"cannot find file"
What im trying to do:
go to: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr_edit\objects\"
Select both the "Objects_client.zip" and the "Objects_server.zip" files, right click on them and click "Extract Here". This will take some time like above, and overwrite any files it asks you to.
What happens in winzip:


And this is what happens:

I've tried extract here when opening the zip(which didn't show up as a optionfor some reason in my recent try and winrar gets like 4000 similar errors when going through like a several minute extraction. Any ideas on this? Seems like only zip files are denying me like this i've tested editing the non zip saving etc SEEMs to work.
Now this is something I would like to do is be able to edit kits but I can't. Firstly I edit the "con" or notepad for what I want in this case this Javelin mod:

I saved the con to the desktop because when saving the files under the folders in mods BF2 don't show so i can't get to objects_server:

So I try to drag it in and get this:

Similar error in winrar see one of my pics above.
I honestly don't know what to do i've tried editing permissions, didn't do anything so im at a loss. Anyone please help me on why I can't do anything with changing zip files in BF2? Any thoughts would be appreciated a ton, thanks.
