I am planning on returning to SWBF2 mapping, but i have one problem: i have no tools. can someone point me to a link to a site where i can download these tools? or, just send them to me via email? ([email protected])

I have many map ideas, including the redesign and completion of my old map series, Advance to Courascant. (the only finished maps were Hordon III and Separatist Cruiser Sabotage)

The last thing i need is the MSN adress of as many gametoast members as i can get.

i hope this is the appropriate fourm...

Thanks alot, GT!

I actually have already done that. maybe redownloading would work...

Chamboozer, the chances are that your download failed before it was completed, thus only downloading half the files needed. You ought to use a download manager like FlashGet to make sure that everything is downloaded.

Wait a minute....are you trying to run the playtesting .exe from the modtools directory? It goes in the Gamedata folder, where the game's .exe is.

Read the FAQ in the posts above. It shows how to fix that.

I think you are attempting to start the tools wrong. Make sure to read the Getting Started guide in the mot tool's documentation folder.
