In BFbuilder pro, if you try to create any of the following modid folders: Geo1, Bes1, Bes2, Kas1, Kas2, Mod1, Mod2, Hot1, Rhn1, Rhn2, End1, Yav1, Yav2, or any other stock map id,
You get the error "ModID already exists in game"
I edited BFbuilder Pro in Notepad, and found the reference to that error
'MsgBox erastoinclude
Select Case LCase(modid)
Case "bes1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "bes2"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "geo1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "hot1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "kam1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "kas1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "kas2"

Case "nab1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "nab2"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "rhn1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "rhn2"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "tat1"

Case "tat2"

Case "tat3"

Case "yav1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "yav2"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
Case "mod1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists"
Case "mod2"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists"
Case "template"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists"
Case Else
dim fso
set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FolderExists(modnameshortdata) Then
MsgBox modnameshortdata &" Folder Already Exists", 16
Else
Call CreateModFolder(modnameshortdata,modnametitle,erastoinclude)
End If
set fso = nothing
End Select
End Function
My question is, If I were to delete that whole function, would I still be able to create maps successfully? Or would it do more than eleminate the error?
I am trying to make a skin editor for some worlds.
I am sorry for double post...
I figured this out a few minutes ago,
Copy BFbuilder Pro, Paste it, Rename it to BFbuilder Pro 3 (just to keep from confusion with 2.0 and such)
Open with: NotePad, CTRL + F, type this in the box that pops up "already exists in game"
Search it, it will take you to the code listed above,
find this line bellow it:
Case "geo1"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game"
if you delete that line, you can create map with the modid Geo1
-------------
In that regard, if you want to do any OTHER maps modid that already exists in-game, just delete:
Case "MODID"
MsgBox modid&" Already Exists in Game from the list of modids in BFbuilder.htm
If this did not explain it clearly enough, tell me and I'll try to re-explain the best I can.
Yea this works I discovered this too over a year ago. Attached is my modified BFbuilder pro.hta with those annoying blocks removed
