Mods Won't Load In-Game

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:11 pm

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting mods to actually work. I can go into the main game Mod UI menu and choose to load a mod for a mod I made it doesn't ever do anything when I say Okay to restart. The game restarts for other mods however when it loads back-up the selected mod isn't activated!

The mods are all just scripts which modify what attachments are available for the different weapons in the campaign as well as modifying magazine and reserve ammo capacities. They all show up correctly in the UI screen but do load.

Could it be privilege settings? I can't create .PAK files anywhere in the EA folder because of administrator privileges (even though I'm logged in as the Administrator).

Also when I load the editor it gives the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE error even though I'm using SDK 1.1. Is this error able to cause mods not to load correctly?

Any help would be appreciated!

When you load a mod, and restart the game, if you quit and open the game again you'll have to make the mod active again

Thank you to the people who have responded! However...

@TsAndrey - Thank you for the link however I already posted this at Crymod and as many views as here I got zero responses, I believe that this is due to low traffic in comparison to My Crysis and the fact that Sandbox 3 is relatively new.

@M4dn3ss - I understand, however, when I click on a mod I downloaded and say restart to load the game restarts but when it comes back there is no mod loaded and when I try to load a mod I made the game doesn't restart when I say okay.

I believe after some more experimentation that my problem is due to Windows 7 Permissions. Currently my entire Program Files (x86) Folder is marked as read only even though

A) I am logged in as an administrator and I have given all users full control under folder properties and
B) When I unclick Read Only and say apply my computer shows it getting rid of the attribute but when I right-click again and go to properties
it still says that all files and folders are read only.

Does anyone know if there is an issue with the Sandbox 3 and loading mods with Windows 7?
