Map wont run in SWBF2 [Solved]

Hello. I am new to gametoast, and am also a new modder. Forgive me if I make any errors or mistakes. Anyways...

My porblem: When I run visualmunge.exe, It says it munges properly. I go into data_ABC run munge in there, and then close that out. However, once I start Battlefront 2, the map shows as an orange ABC%_%_ ( or simmilar ), I can check the conquest mode, CW/GCW then launch, and I get an error that says: FATAL: cannot open mission.lvl. When I opened data_ABC, there was no mission.lvl file. Also, should my munges directory be C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star wars battlefront ii\GameData? or C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star wars battlefront ii\GameData\Addon? I also tried
http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 2&p=295373 donwloaded the file, and I don't know what im suposed to do with it. :(

Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Vista?

1.1 patch?

Checked the FAQ?

I am running vista ( not 7.)
I have the 1.1 patch
I have read the FAQ/etc. (and am still searching/reading)
Also, im certain I have a virus on my computer. Would that do it? I do not have an anti viral program ( yet ) and am working on getting one.

Well, in that topic they did say what to do with it:
Frisbeetarian wrote:unpack the contents (the folder vistamungefix) into your BF2_ModTools directory. Run vistamungefix.bat.
I have mine in BF2_Modtools\data\_BUILD. Run it from there and your BF2_Modtools folder. (I ran mine quite a few times and it finally worked.)

It should work in one of those two folders, with it being in the _BUILD folder my best bet(since they did say to put it there and run it).
Hidden/Spoiler:
Run the batch file a few times (from BF2_Modtools\data\_BUILD) and then munge a new map from BF2_Modtools\data\_BUILD. Then munge that map from BF2_Modtools\data_***\_BUILD. Should work.

Ok, they said to unpack the contents, so move the entire folder, or each file into the build folder? I am never good with these kinds of things so forgive me. Also, to run the fix, what do I click?

EDIT: I figured out how to get it to run, it says such and such is not regognizaeable batch file or command. Also, after reading a different topic, when I munge it says "QT was not expected at this time" or simmilar, at the very end of the munge. Ideas? Also, I can't really copy and paste because I am using these forums from a seprate computer than the one that the mod tools are installed on.

EDIT: The first time I munge, everything works fine. The second time I munge ( to get the map to show in SWBF2/and work ) the error I get is at the bottom and says:
\QuickTime\QTSystem\was unexpected at this time.

The quick time has soemthing to do with it, im guessing.

You didn't follow the instructions.

Extract the vistamungefix folder from munge_fix.zip to this location:
  • C:\BF2_ModTools

Open the vistamungefix folder and you will see vistamungefix.bat
Click on this batch file to execute it and it'll run the fix.
Create a new map

You only need to run this fix once.
This fix does not work on maps you created prior to running the fix.

After reading around gametoast, I found that having to many missions can cause problems with munge/etc. So, I removed my darktimes/convo pack/battle arena 2/borus stunt course 3.0 out of my addon. Then, I ran the vista munge fix again, munged a new level and guess what.... my map worked! Thank you gametoast!

Now to just work on adding stuff to my map, figuring out ZE, etc.

I am just really excited that this worked :mrgreen: :D :)
