hi everybody,
i've kind of a problem: when i create a new world with visual munge, then munge it , the map works fine in the game but the three-letter-file isn't in the addoin folder and it's not in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\Addon (because there is no AppData-folder in my Users/username - folder). like i said everything works fine but of course the file's missing. can anyone help? thx

Wait a min.. It works(You can play it), but isn't in the addon folder

Never heard of that....checking my pc...HUH, at mine also
Strange...

you have the same problem? ( i'm tslking of a ''problem'' because it kind of disturbes me that i can't delete it or just have anything )

Right, I can't delete my maps from my instant action list

LOL, never noticed before, since my PC is new, and I haven't used to delete one of my maps yet

Question - I'm using Vista and I munged my new map but it isn't showing up here:
\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\Addon
so where is it?
Answer - Your newly munged map might have been copied to this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\Addon

EDIT2:
oops, i didn't read the post correctly..
try searching for the map

are you sure there isn't an addon folder?

type in the window-bar
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\

and when you were there add the line

addon
i find my things so too

Edit:
O now i know what you mean

look at:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon

nope...did everything you told me to ..nothing there ...i also searched for the ABC folder (which would be the folder, normally located in the addon folder)..i found 5 different folders , but they all had to do with and located in BF2_ModTool...bla bla....i opened them, checked them...but thez all were not the one i was looking for. Where could it be??? i mean it must be somewhere doesn't it?

Did you get battlefront by installing it or getting the program file?
If you got the program file it dosent copy the appdata.
Also check resent files folder.

PS I have vista and I hate it

i bought a normal copy of battlefront 2 (dvd-version). also did what you just said...didn't find it... this can't be !!

using windows search

that's what i did. and just to clear this: i do have to look for ABC don't i ?

Vista is a pain in the Diet Dr. Pepper when it comes to older games. If you don't mind the time you could always reinstall SWBFII to a destination in your Documents or your desktop. That will prevent the pesky retarded file allocation that happens when you install to the Program Files.

Vista is a pain, i installing 7 on my vista pc. But i dont recommend installing bf2 on your desktop, or Documents folder. The Program Files folder is the best.

Whats the moving location of visualmunge? (options - set Battlefront2 directory)

it is : C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData

Program Files (x86)?

Does that exist?

well on my computer it does .could it be perhaps that modttools only works as it should when i've installed battlefront 2 and modtools in the normal program files thing? thx fpr advise

the modtools go on the C:/ drive only, they dont work very well if they are in program files.

Is there a Program Files (x86) and Program Files? Or just Program Files (x86)?

Believe this has been answered before. I run vista and will answer with a screenshot. Press "Compatibility files" and then go under data to find your worlds. (nothing to do with bad install, im sure its munged and installed all correctly)

Note: This applies to anyone running Windows Vista (regardless of version)

@ 501st_commander: i have both folders, but the (x86) one was the one that was automaticly suggested.

@ obiboba : where do you mean do i have to press compatibly files ?

EDIT: forget it i found it . THanks obiboba, you're my saviour !!

(this thread can be closed)

Where did you find it? Was the AppData folder just hidden?
