Win 7 Black Ops install
Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:40 pm
A few map makers new to Windows 7 are having trouble getting their MED to save to their Black Ops folder.
To get the MED to work right, here's how I installed Black Ops on my Windows 7 machine.
The first step is to open "C" drive.
Second step, open Program Files (x86)
Third, open your Nova Logic folder.
Fourth, copy your DFX2 folder.
This will create another folder named, "Delta Force Extreme 2 - Copy".
Here is when you want to rename your folder to indicate it's the Black Ops MOD folder as indicated in the next picture.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PUT A DOT BETWEEN THE 1 AND 3.
Fifth step is to install the BO MOD 1.01 into your newly created Delta Force Extreme 2 BO MOD 13 folder.
Sixth step is to install the BO MOD 1.3 into your newly created Delta Force Extreme 2 BO MOD 13 folder.
Seventh step, if you plan to use the MED, go into your newly created Delta Force Extreme 2 BO MOD 13 folder.
Right click and drag the BO MED 260 icon to your desktop and say, "Create short cut here".
To use the BO MED, the install directions for Windows XP didn't work so I used
these steps and it works fine. I've done this install on four Windows 7 Machines and 1 Vista machine. I have yet to have a problem.
Certainly someone will have a better way but since new Win 7 users have asked me for help I thought I post the directions on how I've helped them with their installs and getting their maps to save back to their BO folder.
