Battlecraft Problems

Post by Tuesday »

When I start up Battlecraft I get these two error messages

I press OK for both.

I want to open a existing level and edit it so I select Open Level, then bf1942, then I receive these two error messages again and click OK for both of them again.

After this it tells me the only existing level is MyLevel.

Can anyone help me?

Go to this folder:
Program Files (x86)/Battlecraft 1942/

Click on the file named "bc42.cfg" and open it with Notepad.
Make sure the paths refer to the correct RFA files you are trying to work with.

You said "StandardMesh_001" and "Texture_001" are not being loaded.

Are you missing these lines?
OpenMODArchive=Mods\bf1942\Archives\StandardMesh_001.rfa
OpenMODArchive=Mods\bf1942\Archives\texture_001.rfa

I'll agree with 8675309.

Can you please give us some specifics on what you click on when you start the program up? Are you trying to load a mod, or vanilla BF'42?

The beginning part of "bc42.cfg" should look like this:

Code: Select all

[Editor Paths]
GamePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\
//	custom mod files go here:
ModsPath=Mods\bf1942\
//	objects are read from here
ObjectsPath=Mods\bf1942\objects\
//	SMs are read from here
StandardMeshPath=Mods\bf1942\standardMesh\
//	TMs are read from here
TreeMeshPath=Mods\bf1942\treeMesh\
//	textures are read from here
TexturePath=Mods\bf1942\texture\
//	Object list
ObjectsList=bf1942.lst

OpenMODArchive=Mods\bf1942\Archives\StandardMesh_001.rfa
OpenMODArchive=Mods\bf1942\Archives\texture_001.rfa
If you are trying to load a mod, I can show you the edited file.

It does look like that and I'm just trying to edit the regular bf1942 maps.

The paths quoted throughout this thread vary between programfiles and programfiles(x86)

Tuesday, check that the 'x86' is included in the cfg etc if required.

A little question:
What is your Battlefield 1942's Game Path?
Can you show us your BC42's Configuration file?
That would be helpful = )
