BF2 Modtools munges into the wrong folder
Basically what the title says. Instead of munging a new map into Star Wars Battlefront II/Gamedata/addon , it munges it into Star Wars Battlefront II/addon (it makes a folder there)
What's wrong with it?

Go back to your visualmunge application, click options, then set BF2 directory.

And select the gamedata folder I think. I had to do this recently also.

Why don't you just cut the munged folder to your wanted directory? That's what I do all the time.

I don't really know, has it always done this ever since you started mapping?

Only on this computer. On my older computer it was fine, but as soon as I installed the modtools on this one, I had the problem.

Re: BF2 Modtools munges into the wrong folder
I think the answer is your gonna have to just move the folder after ever final munge... hmmmmm
EDIT: Try a disk cleanup (right click computer/properties), sometimes it could be something to do with old shadow copies. It probs won't be the answer but try.
