(SWBF2) Batch files and Win7 [Solved]

[Fiodis]

This is sort've modding-related. A lot of my bat files aren't working. Someone released a fix for the maing Visual Munge utility, but not for everything else. For example, my editlocalize.bat crashes upon startup. What is it about Win7 and the Mod Tools that causes .bat files to fail? And how can I fix it?

I dont have that problem, maybe try replacing them with a new copy?

Perhaps, but look at this:

Code: Select all

cd common\localize
..\..\..\ToolsFL\Bin\MultiLanguageTool.exe

That's the contents of my stock editlocalize.bat in data_MED. You'll note that there's three spaces before "ToolsFL" (that is, three ".."). I'm not much of a programmer, but the proper path to MultiLanguageTool.exe is C:\BF2_ModTools\ToolsFL\bin\MultiLanguageTool.exe. There's only two directories before "ToolsFL". So I edited it to reflect the new path, and instead of popping up and vanishing like it used to, it comes up with the Localize utility, but without any tree heirarchy to edit.

So I tried not running it as an administrator, and would you believe it, it worked. Odd. I have yet to see if it made any changes in-game, though.

Edit: works. Solved.
