List of SWBF2 MODTOOL bugs

[Dragonum]

good idea.

Can people with the DVD version of the game post their specs .

-If your modtool.exe (SPtest ) WORKS post your specs in GREEN

-If your modtool.exe (SPtest ) does NOT WORK post your specs in RED


PS. To post your message in colour , highlight your text and change the 'default colour' .

dont work for me
i hope we get a version that works with the dvd, without this exe you have to test for days.

i hope we get the xsi modtool plugin too, but i havent seen any devs for a few days (weeks?)

I think the biggest problem is the sound munge! Its like having a car that doesn't have tires, it make the program uncomplete.

The scary thing is I havn't seen devs around either, were being abandoned!!

[Lord-Bandu]

Looks that way doesnt it.

"Fully supported modding tools" dont make me laugh.

[Teancum]

Yeah but the only thing is they never said they'd fully support them.

BF2_ModTools called for BINKW32.dll after it work a few times, copied the file to the BF1_ModTools folder started working again a couple of times. Now if I try to run BF2_modtools.exe I get this error

I had 5 emails on this....

Bandu:

3. The Modtool.exe (SPtest) doesnt work with most (if not all) DVD versions of the game.

I've noticed that a lot of people have been saying this too, however I do have the DVD version and everything works perfectly (and did first time). Maybe we can look at possible system/OS differences that might effect this, this might help Pandemic narrow down what the exact problem is. I can't imagine why some DVD versions would work and others not.

I am well aware of this I rsearched the forum and found this supposed fix

I am not using the DVD version I am using the US/English 4 CD version.
My operating system is Windows 2000 SP4 all updates ran. Even set my file system as NTFS.

System specs:
OS- Windows 2000 SP4
Video- ATI Radeon X1300 128 mb DDR Ram
RAM- 1 gb PC2700 (Kensington)

This isn't really a bug, just a heads-up. When you load an object but don't see a "loading collision" screen for even a split-second, do NOT place the object or ZoneEditor will crash.

My specs, the SPtest does not work on my DVD version:

Intel P4 2.6ghz
Windows XP Home
Kingston 512MB DDR RAM (getting 1GB pretty soon)
ATI Radeon 9550 256MB AGP 8x

[Lord-Bandu]

Yeah but the only thing is they never said they'd fully support them.

They did! I saw it with my own eyes on a webchat with LA and Pandemic developers.

Needless to say it was just before SWBF2 was released and they obviously lied to sell more PC copies.

No class.

and there is a thread from PAN Kaiser, he said, after the tools are released they help and answer all questions, but where is he?

[CarbineImpulse]

working hard on patches etc... remember we were fussing so much about the need for tools and when are they arriving etc... when they turned up they were pretty good and certainly well documented. psych0fred had several updates for zeroeditor, I'm sure they'll work on some for this version, they're probably working on a 1.2 SWBF2 patch... I don't think we've been abandoned.
