i had installed swbf1 mod tools on my desktop and zeroedit worked fine, then i saw some1 say here on gt that u should have it in computer, so i moved it 2 computer. but then i could access that file from laptop so i moved it back 2 desktop and now it doesnt work wat should i do?

I assume you're running XP, so ZeroEdit would take your desktop path to be
So, if it's in your desktop folder, your desktop folder is inside "Documents and Settings", therefore breaking the "no space in file names" rule. Try moving it straight into C:/

but when its in C i cant transfer 2 laptop 2 munge it cuz this pc cant munge 4 some odd reason. yes this pc is xp.

Don't use "netspeak". It's annoying and hard to read. Please try to type clear - you'll get more help if we can easily understand you.

ok C:/= computer

Butdon't try to be a smartass either. C: is your hard drive, not "My Computer". It is also where the readme TELLS you to place the Mod Tools. You might be low on HDD space. Describe the error to us. We could help if we actually knew the problem.

can u plz not use that cuss? well like i said it wont let me open zeroedit ever since i had moved it 2 Computer and then back 2 desktop. and oops i got C wrong like u said. lol. and it says
C:/
Documents and Settings/ (this is most likely why)
UserName/
Desktop/
BFBuilder
just like u said.

I dunno that you'll see a problem with ZeroEdit, but you'll definitely have trouble munging. The mod tools should be installed to a folder where there are no spaces in the path to that folder.

For example

BAD:
C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\TEMP

GOOD:
C:\Games\Tools\BF1_tools

C:\Lucasarts\BFBuilder

That is the directory you are told to install it to by default. Please do that. If that doesn't work, then you might have a question. If you haven't followed what the readme recommends, then you are at a bad starting point to ask for some help.

that must be the problem with munge i'll try that now. but i wonder why zeroedit won't work on my laptop? because it's vista? i've already made a topic for that a while back and no one could figure it out. i don't have lucasarts folder because i had reinstalled swbf1 a custom way since at the time i had 1.0 and needed to get custom maps to work.

sorry is that a new rule or something because i have always done that and this is the 1st time i have been told not to. i just tried moving swbf1 mod tools to computer hard disk but it said file i dont have permission to do that. it has 45 gigabytes free and my mod tools takes up 12 gigabytes. There is only 1 user on this laptop so its not like i'm not an admin.

If you don't have a Lucasarts folder, create one.

My BfBuilder works fine if the folder is plunked right into the C/: drive.

And that's fine, as long as you don't have a problem. The issue arises when someone has a "problem" but hasn't followed the original instructions.

It's not a rule, but frankly it drives me absolutely bonkers seeing people be so lazy with the language, and yes it makes it harder for me to read. I'm asking as a courtesy to your fellow members.

well now i moved mod tools back to computer hard disk but it wont let me rename it. i need 2 rename because it is SWBF Mod Mods. i'm pretty sure i need to get rid of the space in order for it to work, but it says it is being used by other program or person, but i dont have it open in anything! well im gonna reinstall swbf mod tools into C:/ u say i ned to create a lucasarts folder, is that neccesary in order for it to work?

It may be, though I heard that it doesn't.

UGH! i redownloaded it and put it in C:/ and i still cant munge! here is pic of when it tries to munge:
this may be a little off topic but can someone please respond to this topic? forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18189
i would really like to get that space map working right again so i dont have to restart the whole thing.
