Those - signs before the tags - <sfsConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> - <Root> are they in the file or its just a typo? They should not be there. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, can you post xml files also. Can you repost but larger picture of the main form of the application, can hardly see what its says in edit components. Don't try to mount by hand, also which TOW did you use? br. Dr.Jones

Hi, are you trying to mount sfs by hand, if so don't the sfs extractor should found them by itself. br. Dr.Jones

Preordered, what a treat and also a collector edition, nice, and preordered the TOW3, when i'm finished with that i can start with CM:BN br. Dr.Jones

Hi guys, you need to genereate filelist first for the Kursk and Caen, existing filelist is only for TOW and TOW2 Afrika. br. Dr.Jones

prlugo so you are opening the raw files. You can also use irfanview which is free. ImfViewer was meant only for those files which have in the header if you open them in txt viewer and at the start its says IMF. br. Dr.Jones

Arzok, i think that fileid.txt values are ussually used as resources identified to some unique number but this was never explained by the devs or atleast i haven't noticed anything. I think its more releated to group of resources like meshes which have unique directory name, heirarchy structure, because like mesh resource has many other mini resources included like materials and textures and hier, etc. So its easier to load resource trough some default name which is defined in the engine. For example you load some mesh command from game engine, but the engine loads whole bunch of files automaticaly because it find the root file which is located in the directory like index.html for web pages or Default.aspx for APS.NET. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, guys SFS extractor needs latest Directx9 managed (dot.net) drivers, and DotNet.2 (with service packs) ofcourse. Check those if you have those installed. br. Dr.Jones

Nik, what is the problem. Can you post the screenshot? br. Dr.Jones

Hi, someone should take the time and do the list for all of the TOW versions. You only need to have free program from MS filemonitor or processmonitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645) running in background. The trick is here that the user need to play all the mission and tutorials to get all game object list (firstly because of the maps). The filemonitor entries should be only those which are accessing files in the TOW1 directory and are in status failed to read or access, because TOW engine first checks if the files are not in SFS but physicaly located at the path specified in the filemonitor. Last thing is to export those entries to txt file. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, backward process to msh file is more complicated, its more a helpfull export to msh and hier files, but those need to be modified by hand especialy the hier files. Also soldier meshes are more complicated because of the skeleton structure, and this goes with weights information (need to export these too) and I haven't seen those, at least hadn't had any sample. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, there are tons of modding information on this forum, expand the view to show more than one month of post. Some usefull threads found on search. info about extractor http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=88127&highlight=mod+tutorial http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=81061&highlight=mod+tutorial http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=81101&highlight=mod+tutorial http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=81064&highlight=mod+tutorial br.

For Tow2 you need new filelist which is in Theatre of War 2 repository. In log it shows that the file ..\rts.dll cannot be found. User Account Control (UAC). br. Dr.Jones

Try downloading again, maybe there was error in dl, it happens sometimes. br. Dr.Jones

Do you run as admin and have the UAC on? Also post the log file on the forum, look under Logs dir. br. Dr.Jones

Which operating system are you using and which version of SFSExtractor have you downloaded? br. Dr.Jones

Hi, you need to choose high calibre field guns, like 75mm, dont pick upp bofors gun, they are crappy. Also tell your gunmen to hold fire till enemy is near, order them to open up. Also put one gun in the small village, other gun under the tree's and bushes. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, it just convert 1C tga extension, which is really IMF format,you can see in the begining of the file if it is the IMF format (there is IMF keyword), to other standard formats for editing, it doesn't convert back to IMF. Just copy the program to MissionEditor folder if you want to use it. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, been patching that one too, i will upload it here. There will be 2 versions one for TOW1, and TOW2. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, i have gotten a few info about setting up the SfsExtractor, first the official version is uploaded as zip on repository, i know that there were few version distributed as rar, if so then there is some chance that is password protected, try 1234 (needed that because of the virus scanners which didn't allow sending them as pure exe's files). Second, i was messing around the app because of the support for Vista64, which current version doesn't support, i have found some bugs. You practically need to manually edit the Config.xml file (sorry about that) , just go there and modify/type correct location of MissionEditor location, and location where to extract, after that you need to restart the SFSExtractor. br. Dr.Jones

Prattboy9394, i have sen't you new version of SFSExtractor which is compatible with Vista64bit system. I have tested it and its working. I was right about the idea i had why it was not working, but i have sent you wrong files the last time, that's why you failed to etract. br. Dr.Jones

Prattboy9394, have you recieved the modified SFSExtracor, and is it working? br. Dr.Jones

Thanks Moon, that was quick. br. Dr.Jones

Prattboy9394 look in private messages. XP compatibility mode, yeah but which one (32bit or 64bit), coz it's a big difference. br. Dr.Jones

Hi, why i can't download TOW Mega ModPack - Part 5 - Meshtool (im using IE7). br. Dr.Jones
