I really don't understand what's going on. I've had the modtoosl for a while, and they've worked fine, but recently, they stopped working. I uninstalled the tools, reinstalled them, opened visualmunge, created a new map, opened visualmunge from inside the map's folder, munged, and the map won't run (missing mission.lvl). I did notice that the folder _LVL_PC is not created inside the map's folder in the ModTools' directory and the _LVL_PC folder is empty inside the map's folder in the addon folder.
Basically, I know what's wrong, I just don't know what caused it or how it caused it.
If anyone's had this sort of thing happen to them, or if anyone has a suggestion on how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Re: ModTools failing
Both of the files from Filefront and LucasFiles do the same thing. The further I look into it, the more it puzzles me. The munge will take the files in the ...\addon\ABC\_LVL_PC folder if they exist and put them in the ...\data_ABC\_LVL_PC folder, however, if they don't exist it will do nothing. Thus I'm stuck without any .lvl files. I even tried on the off chance of it working to copy over the _LVL_PC folder of another map that still works (created before this problem), though it had the same problem.
So my question still stands, however I would also like to know if the folder _LVL_PC is created in ...\data_ABC when the map is first created, so would someone please check that for me. Also, if that folder is created, what files exist inside of it?

Re: ModTools failing
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where do you have the mod tools at? Like the folder for it.
VisualMunge has a real hard time working with folders where the name has a space in it.
This is a problem I had... If you have it in something that has a space in it (Ex. Program Files/Lucasarts/etc.) even if it's not directly inside that folder, but it the path it has to follow has a space in it, the LVL_PC_ will be empty and the game will crash.
So, if that helps,
. If it doesn't, sorry for wastin' space

Re: ModTools failing
Don't worry 'bout "wasting space," at least you tried to help, but no, it's not that. It's presently installed directly to my c drive and it worked several months ago, it just started doing this after I checked back recently from my hiatus.

Re: ModTools failing
That might work if it were an old map I had worked on that was failing, but my old maps are fine while I lack the ability to create new maps because of the problem stated above.
