Ok, so I bought a new computer just recently and I have transferred all of my modding stuff to it. Unfortunately, after installing everything, I can't get ZeroEditor and BF2_modtools.exe to work. (VisualMunge and Battlefront II itself work fine.)

When I try to open ZE, it gives me this error:


When I try to open BF2_modtools.exe, it seems to open for a moment and then goes away. It generates the following BFront2.log: I fear that the problem may be that these modtools will not work on Windows Vista... Is there anybody here who mods with Vista?

Are you running them in compatibility mode?

Uhmm... no. And, uh, how would one go about doing that?

EDIT: OK, I've right clicked on the executable and went to the compatibility tab and set it to run in Windows XP (Service Pack 2.) It still does the same thing. Is that what you wanted me to try?

that's what he wanted you to do, i have vista as well and they don't work, I've tried everything I could think of but I had to settle with just using my old computer for modding with a KVM setup

sweet i have vista too put everything works

Alright, new idea: Has anybody tried BF2 modding on Linux Ubuntu? I could always partition my drive and do things that way, but I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to work there, either.

I had vista and it worked for a long time, but it just now started getting that same error.

Hmm, that's interesting. Perhaps the problem is one of the updates for Vista that they just released... In which case, I'm not sure that there's much that can be done.

Still, has anyone tried Linux?

Linux wouldnt work; the file system they use is just too different from the NTFS format. Also, theres really not that good of a emulator to run this stuff on now adays.
