Need help with Zeroeditor

Post by Nightfall »

hey, I finally got Zeroeditor working, but im having trouble working it.
So far the only thing that I know how to do is placing CPs.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to show me the ropes of modding maps, you know. Walk me through it?
Either that, or direct me to a forum that walks new people through how to mod maps.
Thanks.

I'm trying to use it right now, but it wont let me do anything!
i can see the tutorial subjects, but in the window that the text should be at it says "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled". It says that on every subject that i click on!
Please tell me that im not going crazy here! :runaway:

I'm not quite sure I follow. You should of downloaded swbft.zip file that is a written SWBF tutorial that you extract to your computer. All the info you need is there, with links on the second page (chapter 1) for tool updates etc. Try downloading again.

ok, i tried downloading it again and it didnt change anything.
When i open the tutorial, i can see the tutorial subjects, but anything that i click on wont open in the window on the side, mainly because the window has the message that i previously told you about.
Am i doing something wrong? i extracted the files and ran the program.
if not, then is there some other tutorial that'll help me? one that explains Zeroeditor?
this one just isn't working.

Apart from reading the documentation that comes with the tools, Psych0fred's Battlefront Modders Message Board at secretsocity.com, is a very good resource:

http://www.secretsociety.com/forum/display_forum.asp

+ the Complete "How-To" Tutorial Thread below:

http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... f=1&t=2454

... and use the Search function here on Gametoast. It's amazing what you can find.

Hope that helps
