Problem opening the modtools [Solved]

Post by creeb83 »

When I open the modtools, all I see is a window of something titled Star Wars Battlefront II and then it goes away. Anyone know how to solve this?

Cheers,
The Critta C

PS. Sorry about the last topic im new here.


Oh, yeah. It also says that binkw32.dll can't be found. This file is in the game folder. I copied it into the modtools directory and it created some folders and files, but the files say this:

Opened logfile BFront2.log 2006-09-01 1459

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\GameState.cpp(1562)
Could not open core.lvl

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\GameState.cpp(1609)
Could not open common.lvl

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\ShellLoop.cpp(281)
Could not open shell.lvl

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaScript.cpp(435)
Script file shell_interface not found



Any idea how to solve this?

Answer: You need to copy the file to your Battlefront II/Gamedata folder and run it from there
Make sure it's in the gamedata folder, not just the Battlefront II folder.

Those messages are saying that the game has a bad core.lvl, shell.lvl, and common.lvl, does the regular version of the game work? :?

I think it only says those because it was trying to run it out of a folder in which the .lvl files were not present.
