ETO Spawn selector

trucker

charter member past
I am having trouble with the spawn selector. When I run the program it states that the "system cannot find file" I do have the program installed in other than default, however I also believe that I have set the paths accordingly in the master and global eto bat files.

Any other suggestions?

Trucker out:
 
Perhaps your desktop icon is not pointing to the ETOspawnselector.bat in the spawns folder.

Try this 1st, go to windows explorer\CFS3 ETO Expansion\spawns folder and find ETOspawnselector.bat. Right click and create a new desktop icon.
 
This is where my the game is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion

This is where the spawn is going:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\spawns\ETOspawnselector.bat"

This is the MASTERETOSTARTUP:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
CALL ETOEraSwapper.bat
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\global_layer"
CALL ETOGLSwapper.bat
START cfs3.exe

This is the ETOGLSwapper:

IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1945_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1945_ERA
IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1944_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1944_ERA
IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1943_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1943_ERA
IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\bob_qclocations.xml" GOTO :BOB_ERA
IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1936_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1936_ERA
:1936_ERA

And:

:END
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion

What am I Missing?...Please?

Trucker out!
 
Make sure you are not missing the close quotes (") in your entries

i.e

IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1945_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1945_ERA

IF NOT EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\CFS3 ETO Expansion\1945_qclocations.xml" GOTO :1945_ERA"

I am afraid if you have run your theater with incorrect swapper files then your install has become corrupted. You will eithr have to reinstall your ORIFs via the reinstall ORIF installer or by completely removing your existing install and reinstalling.
