Hey GT, I have 2 quick questions...
1: As a few of you already know, I'm having custom animation set problems, and I'm not sure what the problem is. I read the FAQ tut on it, and it didn't work. Then, since i had made the *****(renamed template, with the animations in there)Folder in animations, I sent it to a friend, And asked him to move the folder to is his animations folder. Then, i asked him to hit the munge.bat in the folder, and it worked for him. Anyone know how to fix the problem?
2: Is it possible to disable a weapon when a player enters a region? Example, when the player enters region2, all_weap_inf_rifle is disabled?
Thanks

1. What OS do you have? There's a fix for Win7/Vista.

2. You can simply replace the weapon with a dummy weapon via LUA, but that breaks online compatability and you'd have to enter a CP for the change to take place. Mav somehow did it in Bakura without needing to (visibly) have the unit enter a CP, you could ask him how he did that.

1: I have Windows 7, 64bit. There is a fix for it?
2: Okay, so there is no way to disable a weapon that you actually use?

1. Right-click on BF2_ModTools\data_STM\Animations\SoldierAnimationBank\munge_animation.bat and select edit. Where it says Change it to

@set MUNGE_ROOT_DIR=..\..\..
REM @if "%MUNGE_BIN_DIR%"=="" (
@set MUNGE_BIN_DIR=%CD%\%MUNGE_ROOT_DIR%\..\ToolsFL\Bin
@set PATH=%CD%\%MUNGE_ROOT_DIR%\..\ToolsFL\Bin;%PATH%
REM )

You may also want to make the same change to the file in BF2_ModTools\data\Animations\SoldierAnimationBank, so that every new map you munge already has the fix made.

2. Yes, there is. I just outlined it above. But it has those strings attached; if you want to deal with them that's up to you.

Thanks for the tip Fiodis!
