ok today i decided to try an make my first map i downloaded some of the tutorials on gametoast and filefront also downloaded the modtools.

then i created the map code name as Arc0 after that i pressed "Edit mod" and it told me "Star wars battlefront 2" must be installed on your computer to run Zero editor" and i rlly dont know what i did wrong.

Did you read and follow the Getting Started doc included with the mod tools?

i was using bf1 tools... not bf2

I had that same problem when I started!

D'oh!!

There is a doc, i think its the readme, there says what you have to do

the Getting Started.doc in the pack, yes.
C or D:\BF2_ModTools\documentation.

yes but he wanted to run the SWBF2 mod tools not the SWBF1 ones..

Yes but he said that he is runing BF1 tools, so probably this was solved hours ago

I have the same error, how do you get the SWBF2 mod tools, and how can you tell if you have the BF1 or BF2 mod tools?

What do you mean? Do you mean the modtools which allow you to map/mod etc. or do you mean the ModTools.exe which allows you to generate an error log? Either way, you should check out the FAQ (<- Click!)

I mean that I run the BFBuilder and create a new map, but when I try and edit, it opens Zero-editor and says "BF must be installed". I see that the other person solved it by going to SWBF2_mod tools. How do I do this?

BFBuilder is for the SWBF1 modding tools, you need the BF2_modtools if you want to mod SWBF2, the FAQ sticky has a link to everything you need.

Thank you very much! You are very helpful.

I got it to work, but the computer I was using was Vista and when I launched zeroeditor, you could only see a blue map. I tried it on another computer, XP/2000 and it closes when I start zero editor. Does anyone know if this is a common problem?

the reason that all you see is blue is because the camera statrs on the same plain as the flat map. use the arrow keys, 'w' key, 's' keys, and the number pad to move the camera. it will soon make more since.

What about it closing after you start Zero Editor in Windows XP 2000? Anyone know how to fix that? Thanks in advance for anyone's consideration and help.
