BFBuilder not working

Post by Gynt_Ryles »

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I just tried editing a new map I made, and BFBuilder doesn't work. I get an eror message that says "You must have Star Wars: Battlefront installed to use the ZeroEditor." I have SWBF installed and the tools and the game are in a folder side by side.

What did I do wrong?

What I would do (and probably quickest and easiest solution) is make a copy of your DataMap folders that you want to keep, ditch the rest and reinstall the mod tools package, if it worked fine once then there's no reason why it wouldn't again, far more easier than pissing around looking for specifics or a niggly little thing that's almost impossible to find. Actually prior to that maybe just try replacing BFBuilder or give BFBuilder Pro a go, check your SWBF to ensure you have the latest patch etc.. all these (if not completely helpful) should at least narrow down the possibilites as to what the problem might be. Check that previous maps you've made are editable or not as well. Hope that helps :)

Update from the Modtools readme "Zeroeditor will give an error that Battlefront must be installed if the game has never been run using LaunchBF.exe. To remedy this, run LaunchBF.exe, exit and then run the editor. This is a one time requirement" check this as a solution, also check the readme to ensure you have the tools installed in the correct folder... not the actual game folder which may cause problems.. again check the readme file that accompanies BFBuilder :0

LOL :) I do the same everytime my crappy old NVidia graphics card randomly decides that maybe I didn't want to use the pc any more and chooses to crash... when some money comes my way I think so will a 6800 or maybe the new ATI :)

If I were you, I'd wait for the GeForce 7 series...
