Can't find the .exe
I installed PR, unchecked the "Create desktop shortcut" box because... I hate desktop shortcuts and the only one I have on is Recycle Bin (they are nothing but worthless clutter).
So I go looking for the shortcut on the Start menu, nothing.
Drop down into my E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr folder, and again nothing (no .exe? what the hell?).
how do I play this mod? =(CoD WaW = -Cloak-

Re: Can't find the .exe
Copy the bf2 shortcut from your desktop and and paste it on the desktop
Add this to the end of the target line
+modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
And you get something like this:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
And you are all set!
I suggest you to read the manual before playing PR, it could be very useful on the battlefield

Re: Can't find the .exe
Tried this, it wouldn't run right off cuz it couldn't find the shaders.
The "Start in:" field is defaulted to the location of the shortcut not the target so I had to change it to "E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2".
However after changing that, it just opens BF2 as usual. No mod =(
I'm able to access the TG PR server via Direct IP connection from BF2 but it unloads BF2 and loads PR each time so I have to load the game twice to get in.
kinda anoying =/

Re: Can't find the .exe
Working fine here..
Your target field should looks like this:
"E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
And leave the "start in" field with
"E:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2"
That's what the shortcut I've made looks like:
