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.

Welcome to GT! (Sorry, forgot to say that in first post)
Anyway, in your first post you said you
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).

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:
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.

Well, I guess you can disregard what I wrote then...

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
