does anyone know how to get mods to work on vista. this is the 5th mod Ive downloaded on vista and they all didn't work. when i down load them on my dying xp computer it works. can anyone solve this. the mod is Johnathan's most recent mod i think.

Vista has issues running programs with extra entensions (i.e., the Modpath you add in to the target patch) if you don't run the program as an administrator. Well, are you running the mods from a shortcut or .bat file?

What exactly is the problem? Crashing? No noticeable effect on the game?

i am the administrator and it has no effect on the game. i really have no idea on this because im still in elementary school.

Well, what exactly is the issue? Does the game crash on startup, does it just start the original game?

Do you click a shortcut to start the mod (like normal EaW) or is a .bat file (has a gear looking thing on the icon).

WEEEEEEE!!! The lemon guy is back!!! Will you join in FTruit Wars 2 again, please? You can take all the veggies power now, if you want. PLEASE??????


Anyway, no, I'm sorry, I can't really hulp you with your problem. Good luck finding out!

i just click on the game shortcut and it loads the regular game.



and sure ill take the veggies

Good, prepare to die.



Good luck with playing the mod you've downloaded.

You have to try a .bat file.

Create a new .txt file (right click the screen, hover over new, then hit "text document") It doesn't matter what you name it, but it'd be good to name it after the mod. Open it, and type in (without the quotes) "swfoc MODPATH=Mods\". Then, go to your Mods folder where you extracted the mod. Find the folder in there, and type that folder's name after the "swfoc MODPATH=Mods\" part. So, if you downloaded Rise of the Mandalorians, the folder inside the Mods directory of FoC would be called ROTM. So I'd type in swfoc MODPATH=Mods\ROTM.

See if this works.

thanks for the help

Hey, it's nothing man. I take it the .bat file worked?

yes thx. but how do you create a file of a map your are playing on so you can edit it? is their a dump map thing or something?

You'll need to download the Petroglyph map editor.

Here it is. Original EaW...

...and Forces of Corruption/

okay but how do i get a map from the game that i want to edit. instead of making on from scratch.

It's been a while since I've made a map. You may have to extract them from the game's core files. I really don't know how to do that. Sorry.

I'm sure someone on here knows how, though.

okay thanks for all your help

Wow, thanks AK! Finally, I'll create some maps from scratch myself...



Fuse, will you take the Veggies please? In Fruit Wars 2? Please, please, please???
