I can't make the custom map colors go away! I've kept trying to use the menu.bat to do it and the noColors file is there but still they persist! I even tried reinstalling twice. Everything else works except the map colors.

What are they again?

I will look into it. Where is your noColors file exactly? You do know it isn't supposed to remove the standard colors, just other colors people may use like red. purple, yellow, blue, etc...

I was just making assumptions with noColors here is where it is:

C:\ProgramFiles\Lucasarts\Star Wars Battlefront II\v1.3patch\settings

It's also in:
C:\ProgramFiles\Lucasarts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\v1.3patch\settings

But that's because I put it there in my futile attempts to destroy the melted hoth and the musty mmos eisly.

Ok, I will look up (and fix if needed) the problem when I get home.

Ty, Zerted.

You're right, the folders for the settings files are off by one directory. I fixed it for the next release, but putting that file in the other folder should have worked... It is named noColors.txt right? Are you running Vista?

Nope. Do you think it would help to remove the duplicate files from the wrong directory so that they are only in the right one?

EDIT: The filename only says noColors with no .txt, but that happens with everything so I don't think it will be a problem, will it?

I don't think thats a problem, but it might be. You can change the folder options to show all the file extensions.

I think I might have messed it up when I installed the patch twice in a row. I already had it installed when I got the convo pack, and the colors worked fine then. Which file does the map colors effect?

Use the latest v1.3 patch (r117) and you won't have a problem.

I am. That is, if you mean the one from the convo 2.0. I'm thinking it might have saved the mod files as the retail ones and now I'm stuck in a loop. I'm not sure that's how it works though.

If the convo 2.0 one isn't the one you're talking about then can I have a link please?

P.S. I don'tk now if it matters but I got the first 1.3 patch by itself from a site that I can't remember the name of, but they're exactly the same.

Zerted, my computer says:

"Cannot Find Server". When I click your link.

It didn't work, they are still there.

EDIT EDIT: It's supposed to be ALL WHITE! :maulsaber:

Help...

Um... This is Hoth with the patch uninstalled...

Ok, thanks for posting the pics. We aren't talking about the same things. The 'no colors' deals with the map colors in the map selection screen. The v1.3 patch allows modders to change their map's name color from the standard orange to any other color they want. Some people mentioned that they don't want to be annoyed by hard-to-read map names, so I added an option to removes those extra colors. The colors are just on the map names in the shell, they have nothing to do with the map itself ingame.

It looks like you are having some graphical problems. Try lowering you graphics settings. If that doesn't work install the latest drivers for your graphics card too. What version of the game do you have? US English DVD?

Oh. Sorry then. But I never had this problem before...

!!

I was associating the patch with the colors because I though I couldn't remember it ever happening before! But, I was on a different comp! I'm using a "Test edition" computer. I'm not sure what I'm running. I think it's older than my previous on though... ARG! I'll let you know when I can verify the info...

Sorry for the false accusation!

That's a graphics card/shader issue. Can you get a pic of Hoth with the pack uninstalled please?

Wha? That is the pic of hoth with the pack uninstalled.

EDIT: I'm running a Windows XP Professional.

(I still don't understand why white looks black though)
