well I'm new to modding (this is my first map) and im using firefek's modding guide (its really good I might add ) but when I try to use visual munge I get an output of like 7 lines and when I try to play my map it says FATAL mission.lvl not found. why dat happenin?

by the way im on vista

How long does the munge take?
What is the size of your data_***\_LVL_PC folder?

uhh it takes like 2 seconds and only outputs like 6 lines as stated above.

the _LVL_PC file is like 3.75 GB (its this directory: lucasarts -> StarWars Battlefront II -> GameData -> DATA)

the mission.lvl file is in there though

Wrong folder. I said:

Frisbeetarian wrote:BF2_ModTools\data_***\_LVL_PC

with the *** being of course the Mod_ID.

I just made a new map (like default everything) and ran the visual munge and it worked but came up with one error. (the output was like a million lines of text lol)

EDIT: uh i think I found the problem... there is no lvl_pc folder

do you know why this happened?

Were you in that folder before munging ?
If nothing works for you try to save the worlds folder in any other place and then delete your map, then create it again and paste the worlds folder again where it was. That saved me a couple of maps i have.

im not too sure.... but thanks for the advice guys, it saved me a lotta time this is a great community lol

Since your symptoms fit, try THIS and see if it works.

yeah i did that earlier but.... I realized that the lvl_pc file wasnt there so I made a new map, copied it's Lvl_pc folder and changed the name of one of the folders in it with the acronym of the maps name and then just put it in and it worked. Thanks for all the help guys Also, I tested my map (WAYYY TO BIG lol) but the trees, logs, and bushes are just blueish black squares.... do you know why?
