    Unhappy 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? =(

    BF2/BF2142 = Alucard_Zer0
    EVE Online = Assassin Zer0

    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 =/


    Cheers mate

    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:
