I here you guys asking for the error logs to help fix problems, but I can't find it? Where do I find mine?

I saw someone say that you needed some modtools.exe or something. I looked for this but couldn't find it.

I really want to see the error log for my map, but I don't know how to get it.

thanks

In the main BF2 Modtools folder there is a file called BF2_Modtools.exe. Should have the same icon as the main bf2 game. Copy that to the folder with the main BF2 program, (should be lucasarts/star wars battlefront 2/gamedata or something like that, I'm using a different comp right now so I can't find out for sure) and run it. It should be a non-fullscreen version of the game with the top half tinted green. Play your map using it, and in the folder you copied it too there should now be a new text file. This is the error log, and is chock full of useful info.

If you run bf2_modtools.exe and get no error log, if you use Vista, you will have to click on the compatibility files button on the top of the screen.
