If this is not the directory path that you initially see, click the Change button, find the BF2ModTools folder, click it and click Ok.When the directory path C:BF2ModTools is established, click Next.
The Select Program Folder will appear and ask you to select an existing folder to choose from in your C: drive. It will otherwise give you the option of creating a new folder in the Program Folder: bar.
However, the bar will already have a line of text that says ' LucasArtsStar Wars Battlefront IIMod Tools'. This folder title is perfectly fine, so do not modify it.
Click Next. You will now be at the last step of the install menu. If needed, double check to make sure that everything you just did as stated in these steps has been done properly. Once you are sure that everything is correctly configured, click Install. The installation process will then begin. Once the installation is finished, the InstallShield Wizard Complete window will appear informing you that the Mod Tools program was successfully installed.
Click Finish and the window will disappear.With everything done correctly, you should be able to access all of the files and folders that were just installed into the BF2ModTools folder within the OS (C:) drive. In order for munges to operate properly on computers using Windows operating systems younger than XP, you will need the Munge Editor Fix files downloaded and activated on your computer to prevent munge errors from constantly occurring when attempting to make or modify any maps.There are a number of websites on the Internet that possess access to the Munge Editor Fix files. I cannot guarantee that every website is safe to download the files from, but I can assure you that there are reputable sites that host the files that you are looking for.
Once again, one of those sites is ModDB. In this guide, I will be using ModDB as a primary source for downloading the files. Follow the link provided:. Click on the light red button at the bottom of the file information panel that says Download Now. An all-white pop-up window should appear after clicking the button. It will say:' click to download mungefix2.zip if it doesn't start automatically or try another mirror.' If the Save As window does not appear after initially clicking the Download Now button, click the first underlined link.
If that does not work, click the second underlined link and find a suitable mirror site to download from. Once the Save As window appears, pan to the far left of the window. Under This PC, click Downloads. Then click Save.The file will begin downloading afterwards.
It should only take a minimum of one second for it to download to your computer, depending on your Internet speed of course.Once the download is complete and the program is visible on the Downloads page, you may proceed to Step 4. The file folder that you just downloaded come in a.zip file format. This means that you have to unzip the file folder in order for the files inside to be fully accessed and viable for your computer to register.Thankfully, Windows operating systems from 7 to 10 are equip with a zip program that can extract zipped files, so there is no need for third party file archive utilities (i.e WinRAR, 7-Zip, PeaZip, etc.). If you do have a third party file archive utility that you would like to use however, then feel free to do so.In this guide, I will be using the default zip program that comes equip with Windows operating systems from 7 to 10, specifically for 8.1 in my case. Open File Explorer.
To the far left of the window, under This PC, click an go to the Downloads page. The file folder mungefix2 should be visible with a zipped-up folder icon present. Click on the folder and open it. Once inside, there will be a single folder present named vistamungefix.
The window should now have a light-pink box located on the top of the Extract button that says Compressed Folder Tools. To the immediate bottom right of the files/ folders box underneath the Extract button, there is an icon of a zipped-up folder with four light-blue squares to the right of the folder titled Extract all. Click the checkbox next to vistamungefix file folder. Once checked, pan up to the Extract all button previously mentioned and click it.
A window titled Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders will appear. In the bar underneath Select a Destination and Extract Files, insert the following directory path:C:BF2ModTools. The box that says Show extracted files when complete should already be checked for you. If not, click the box and add a check mark to it so that the file location will open up once the extraction process is complete. Click Extract. The extraction process will begin afterwards.Once the extraction process is complete, you will be redirected inside the BF2ModTools folder.
In it, you will see the folder vistamungefix between folders ToolsFL and XSIAddon. Open up the vistamungefix folder and check its contents. The following is a list of all of the files that appear in ascending order when viewing the vistamungefix folder.:. Common.
Load. Shell. Sides. Sound.
Worlds. munge. restoremungebats. vistamungefixIf all of these files appear within the folder, then you have correctly installed the program and may proceed to Step 5. You are now ready to make maps and mods galore for a galaxy far, far away.Thank you for reading this guide.
