Hi GT, back to modding. I'm trying to add Dark Times to my map and it has seemed to mess up the munging of my core.lvl. Core.lvl is only one KB even after munging and my map, weapon, , unit and mode names and all are unlocalized, interesting enough, everything is fine in the Dark Times era and only messed up in CW and GCW, I'm almost 100% positive that this is caused from adding Dark Times.

addme Does my core need to be loaded before dtshell?

Adding a mode or map (through the addme.lua) won't affect your core.lvl. Only something in your core.req (or its children) will affect your core.lvl.

My core.req is unedited. I tried saving it and munging and it still comes up as one KB, gonna do a clean & munge and then try a manual clean if that doesn't work, will post results.

EDIT: It appears to not just be this map, this is on a fresh copy of modtools and it every time I try to munge a core file it shows up as one KB and isn't read by the game.

EDIT 2: forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=26287&hilit=path+variable
I've noticed the same xcopy error as cress, however I haven't messed with anything on my computer that would cause it, battlefront isn't in the default location but I've had it where it is now before and there haven't been any problems.

Did you try checking out the PATH variable?

Yes, I tried checking it and it appears to be correct. I keep getting not found errors when I go to some of the links, do you happen to have the fixpath.exe's?

IIRC fixpath did not help. I just needed to check out the default for my OS and see if it had become messed-up/deleted.

My path is what it should be, just checked again and it's fine...

To be frank, if you're still getting the xcopy errors, then your path is not what it's supposed to be.

When I got my new computer it didn't come with XP as it's default OS so my dad installed it but it's worked before, not sure if that is the cause of the problem...

So xcopy can't find LocalizeMunge.exe, most likely, which is located in ToolsFL\bin\. We're gonna need to edit some Environment Variables here...


Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Environment variables.
In the second group, find the Variable called "Path" and click "Edit..."
Press the End key to make sure you are at the very end of the text box, and enter something like this:

;C:\BF2_ModTools\ToolsFL\bin

Press OK to close the window, and OK again, and yeah, should work.

Just as a note, I have my modtools on E so I replaced the C with an E, but otherwise this baby works like a charm! Wub you marthman!

Environment variables aren't exclusive to XP.
What did your path look like before you added anything to it?

It seems strange that you would need to add a specific path in this case.
These paths can be screwed up by simply installing software that doesn't respect the order.
