Thread to Help Samistheone

OK Sam,

I see that you are still having trouble with zero editor.

Tell us exactly what you did and exactly what the error is.

[Samistheone]

I downloaded the new updated file, and extracted it to my C drive then copied BFBuilder out of the LucasArts folder directly to the C drive

Right after that I did the instructions on this page (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=3544.msg37995#msg37995), because I want to edit the Bespin: Cloud City map, and see if I can make a better greater version of the map, maybe even add a spiral stair case and stuff, but then after 0 BFBuilder Pro loaded the map and stuff I clicked edit map it starts up Zero Editor screen and right after that it terminates saying this.

(Microsoft Visual C== Runtime Library


Runtime Error!

Program: C:\BFBuilder\Databes10\zeroeditor.exe


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.)

This time this was on my Windows 7, I haven't tried the new one on my Windows XP Professional computer, because I don't have another backup drive yet. But it was basically saying the same thing even when I wasn't trying to edit the bes10 file.

[Led]

OK, let's start with something less complicated.

First, just click on the BFbuilderPro application and create a new world, such as Test.

Then import a retail side (any one) say CIS.

Then exit BFbuilderPro.

Then go into the DataTest folder and double click on Zeroeditor.

Let me know if it gives the same error.

[Samistheone]

Yes it did, the only thing that changed was the path for the file.

By the way do you need to have the original SWBF disc in your computer for this to work, or just a SWBF disc?, I recently noticed, I haven't had the disc in for almost a full year now, wonder why I didn't notice. x-D

[Led]

Do you have SWBF installed on that computer?

And did you install the BoPC registry fix?

[Samistheone]

Yes I do, and no because I have the original SWBF game disc's, I thought the BoPC fix was for if you had Star Wars Battlefront Best of PC Disc??

Then again I may have installed it the first time on Windows XP Professional, but I am not sure, its been a while.

[Led]

Run the registry fix anyway, it wont hurt.

If you have any DVD version of  the game you will need the fix.


The game has to be installed, but you do not need the game disk in the computer to use the mod tools.

If you have already installed the gamemaster patch, then you wont need the disk to play SWBF (but it has to be installed).

Try it again after the registry fix (and verify that SWBF has been installed on that computer) and let me know if it still has the same error).

[Samistheone]

Same thing happened again after the BoPC fix.

By the way what is the (50-SWBFViewer0.04) file for?

[Led]

Its the MSH viewer.  Read the readme file in that folder.

Runtime error can be from a lot of causes.

Here are two last things you can try:
-right click on zeroeditor and set compatibility mode for windows XP and run as Administrator

-go to this website
http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/

and see if microsoft can fix it for you.

That is all I can do.  Good Luck.

Okay I found something new now, when I tried the first option you gave me a window showed up saying.

(Zero Editor Error


"config.ini" not found, unable to start.)

Is this the solution to fix that we are looking for to make it work for me?

[Led]

I will post various links to this issue from around the internet:

Steam says it could be a virus:

something from MS

possible corrupt files

Config.ini should be right in that folder where zeroeditor is at, in the DataTestMap1 (or whatever) folder.


Did you see the Zero Editor splash screen behind that error message?

Figures, it just happens I have a browser hijacking right now and I avoided using it I let it stay the way it took over and I just pulled out another short cut of Internet Explorer in a different spot and have been using that one lately meanwhile figuring out what one it is, its my second one in fact I had Snap Do before that ones a bad one too, but this one the 3 malware things I installed didn't even catch this one! It took over Google Chrome mainly which I don't use much anyways.

It claim's to be Speed Browser, but I don't see anything about that online yet, so it may just be using that as a decoy name.

The web and WIKI state that Browser Hijacking is getting more and more frequent, so I recommend you guys to watch what you are downloading, and I will also give you guys a link about it on WIKI. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_hijacking)

By the way Rocket Tab is also a Virus.

I recommend to do what it says here on malwaretips, because doing that caught a bunch of other viruses that I didn't know I had too, after that my computer went faster. (http://malwaretips.com/blogs/rockettab-virus-removal/) (http://malwaretips.com/blogs/category/hijackers/)

That said you think that removing this might be my main way to fix Zero Editor then??

[Led]

It can't hurt to get rid of that malware stuff.

You won't know until you try it.

Why could zero edit not find the config.ini file?  Have you check to see if it is there?

[Phobos]

I think an incorrect file path (among other things) could be causing this error. Make sure BFBuilder is extracted directly to the C:\ drive, not your desktop or something else with long names that uses spaces. The space keys break zeroeditor when it tries to load certain files, so if it was stored somewhere such as C:\Program Files\LucasArts\ this would cause errors. Make sure the config.ini file is also copied to every new folder you create using BFBuilder Pro.

Edit: It looks like you have tried this. I'll try to think of any other ideas but removing the malware is a good start.
There are 3 versions of the zeroeditor.exe with different date modified. Have you tried using all of them?
