Title: SWBF2 ZE "fix" - Runs on Windows 7
Post by: VanFanel1980mx on April 29, 2015, 12:41:20 PM
My specs

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i5 4430 @ 3.00 Ghz
8GB RAM DDR3

DELL Monitor 1708FPBLK

NVIDIA Driver 353.06
GeForce GTX 650 2047MB
SLI Disabled

On-Board Intel HD Graphics 4600*

.NET Framework versions
4.5
4.5.1
4.6
4.6.1

The fix? well, first of all I had the on-board graphics enabled, then I connected a VGA Cable to the free VGA input on my monitor since the NVIDIA card is connected through DVI.

Now ZeroEditor runs, need to test it and all but no more runtime error, no compatibility mode, no admin elevation, nothing, just plugged in the on-board graphics, please tell me if you get it working (assuming you didn't), looks like NVIDIA was still the problem.

I think he was going to GT to find out how to run zeroeditor, but since it's not working, surely someone here can help him. Unfortunately my area of knowledge is SWBF1, so I'm afraid I can't help with that, but I'm sure someone can.

Well, is the usual Win7 problem for ZeroEditor on SWBF2, I wanted to see GT just in case they finally found a reliable way, but if people here are able to relay the info then I can wait.

Runtime error, always, apparently a few Win7 users don't get it, but the majority does.

nVidia GTX 650, I heard ZeroEditor doesn't like nVidia, I have tried all other options, well, except one, is there a way to use my on-board intel chipset to run it in a separate monitor?

Necromancy aside, no need to make a new thread for this, just to inform you that using a Virtual Machine with Windows XP doesn't work either, my days as a map modder seem to be over.

Windows 10 over here and I still haven't found a fix yet. Every post I've made about it seemed to have died down without a solution. If Anyder is able to find any solution that may work, I'd be happy to hear it ;)

Some systems work and some don't.  Gametoast has a lot of suggestions, but in some cases it can't be fixed.

I have some computers that it will work on and some that it won't, too.

When i installed the modtools/zero editor on my computer it didn't worked at the begining (Im on Windows 7 ultimate).But i remember someone gave me a BF2 Modtools fix.This could fix and your zero editor issue...probably.I was also getting runtime errors.Also make sure that the path for your modtools dont have free space between the words.Example:

D:Modtools/My projects.........  (bad)

D:Modtools/My_projects........  (good)

I think in gametoast you can find the fix for Windos 7/Vista.I hope i helped somehow.

Someone told me to try that, didn't work for me :( The rule is, spaces CAN be bad. However I must hence the word "can" as mine did work even though it did have spaces. Until I upgraded to Windows 10.

GT seems to be down, if someone has the fix to reupload it will be highly appreciated, the spacing thing I haven't checked yet.

GT is up, your country is probably IP blocked.


Ginev, if you can find a link, I will make the download available here (with proper accreditation).

I think i still have it on my computer.Not sure but if i found it i will upload it since i asked about that in gametoast and someone respond to me with link.I will need some time because my computer is full with dust and i need to clean it  :shrug:

EDIT:Ok i uploaded it in gamefront.Here is my link.However for the people who want to use it on Windows 7.You have to replace the files with your Modtools/data folder (Not your actual map folder but the data folder of the modtools).So just in case make backup of that folder if something bad happen.For me this worked.I dont know for the rest.Its not my fault if this brake your modtools.Do it on your own risk.

Link:

http://www.gamefront.com/files/25431757/data.7z

If link dont work check later.Gamefront sometime delay the uploaded files.

Thanks, looks like I am getting 403 errors in both browsers for some reason, I will try some workarounds, I wonder why GT would block my country though.

EDIT: My country is also blocked by GameFront, what happened? am I a criminal by default or something according to them?

I managed to download the file, interestingly enough there is nothing at first glance that would make ZE work but I will have to install the stuff first to see what's the deal.

Since May of 2012 most Europeans country has been banned from GameFront....But why, I don't know?

For GT I heard that they got a lot of spams and hacks....
Here's the list of all blocked country on GT :
AZ,KR,CN,UA,FR,IQ,IR,MX,KE,PH,VN,PK,GE,DZ,IN,JO,TR,YE,NL,TH,UZ,KZ,ID,LY,UG,VE,BR,NG,MN,LB,PS,DO,AL,JP,BA,RS,EC,MY,BD,PE,BY,LA,TW,KG

Too bad, I used to share skins and other stuff on GT, I just hope the fix really allows me to continue making maps.

Still doesn't work for me :/ I guess it's just Windows 10? Or can anyone else run it on Windows 10?
Title: Re: SWBF2 ZE issue
Post by: VanFanel1980mx on January 14, 2016, 01:04:27 PM
Welp, the fix didn't work for me, I would wonder how it works since it doesn't alter Zero Editor itself, I hope there is a workaround eventually, I can still make custom Sides I guess but it will be painful to not have a custom map to test them.

they run just fine for me (I did buy it via steam, but I don't think that would matter).
