Problems with BAS RepairH and Keg's editorupdate

[Tulip 0]

I hope this is the right forum for these questions.

I just noticed two strange problems.

1) After installing the BAS Blackhawks (version 1.00/SOAR 2.00), the original single player mission "Ground Attack II" spits out a nasty "Cannot load mission, missing addons: bas_repairh" error. The mission does work after that, and I have never edited it, it's the BIS original. Also the repairh addon works. I can place them in mission editor and use them, and they work, and no error messages of any kind. I have the bas_repair.pbo in my "BAS" mod folder as well as Res\Addons. I get no errors when I run OFP without the BAS folder as a mod parameter, and the repairhs still work. I have no idea what causes this...

2) Kegetys' editor update 1.11 doesn't seem to work. I get no errors with it, but I can't find the objects it's supposed to add anywhere in the mission editor's menus. What is this update supposed to do? I have no other editor updates installed, and I have the editorupdate102.pbo in OFP\Addons folder, and not in Res\Addons. I'm puzzled.

TIA.

1) Read this thread.

2) There's absolutely nothing wrong with Kegetys' Editor Addon 1.11. Been working properly for ages.

Thank you, Avon.

1) That unofficial pbo solved it. No more errors.

2) Oh, I'm sure it works fine for the rest of the world. But I can't seem to get it working, or maybe I just don't know how. I did put the editorupdate102.pbo in OFP\Addons, and that's that. But I can't see any changes at all in the mission editor, that's what makes me think it might not be working...

What are you trying to do? How are you "looking" for the addon's objects in the editor?

If you move it to OFP\Res\AddOns, does it work?

Most of the stuff should be in the Empty --> Objects/Camera section.

Try dumping it to a mod folder. Helps my problems sometimes.

I just look under all the menus under "Empty" side. Air, Armoured, Car, Camera, Support, Objects, everything, and I can see the objects from addons like BAS Blackhawks - but nothing from the editor update. I read that the editor update has all of the objects from roads to forest blocks and those Res apartment buildings, but I can't find them anywhere. They definitely aren't under West, East or any of those sides either, or I'm completely blind as well as stupid. And no, putting the PBO into Res\Addons doesn't help.

... Just my luck that no one else would have this problem.

Edit: Will try with a mod folder.

Edit2: Problem solved! The editor update works when it's placed in a mod folder of its own, with nothing else in it, and this works when run with other mod folders as well. Great!

Thanks again, the both of you.

Glad you found a solution. The troubleshooting forum strictly speaking is for BIS troubleshooting issues only, but I was feeling generous earlier so figured I'd wait until you had an answer
