[Installing tools for W3D modding]

Hmm... not sure if the Westwood Studios folder was there before (do you mean before I installed RenegadePublicTools/Level Editor?), I installed C&C Renegade sometime in 2023 (maybe around March-April) and haven't gone into the registry for anything related to Renegade/Level Edit/Westwood Studios until today.  I didn't have to (manually) add any new folders named 'Westwood Studios' though.  Hmm...

Checking for a folder Wow6432Node was successful, but there is no Software folder listed underneath. 


Thanks for the response.





Edit/Update: Success!  Thanks to additional help from ChopBam and elbappotsnU in combination with following instructions in this thread (moonsense715 and Jerad2142 posts), the Level Editor is now working:

Windows 11, 64-bit
Scripts 4.8 installed
Level Editor doesn't have empty folders in the Presets Tree/Window, there are now the default presets for soldiers, vehicles, props, etc
Level Editor .exe from the Scripts 4.8 'Tools(http://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads)' download is present
Using an install of C&C Renegade from the 'Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection' purchased via the EA App software

The main fix seemed to be going into the regedit to define + create an InstallPath string/entry as Jerad mentioned, but making sure for Windows 64-bit systems (I was on Windows 11), the registry path to use is actually going to be 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Westwood\Renegade', this should get the Level Editor to load in normally with default presets from Renegade automatically loaded in!

[Installing tools for W3D modding]

Hello!

When at the Level Editor setup part, I am having trouble getting anything to open past the window pop-up where I can choose/open a .pkg -- once I click a mod.pkg to load, the actual editor itself doesn't load at all.  I am just stuck at my desktop.

Here is what I have:

I have bought the 'Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection' from the 'EA App' software (The same method shown at: https://cncnet.org/buy#ultimate-collection on how to buy it)

I have installed C&C Renegade, Scripts 4.8 (https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/files/scripts-4.8.exe), and also the RenegadePublicTools (https://multiplayerforums.com/files/file/80-renegade-public-tools/) which contains the Level Editor.

From the 'TT downloads page' link I clicked and downloaded the "Tools ZIP     tools-4.8.zip - MD5: 74f885b646c1bec43821b87ea3b1ea11" file.

I replaced the original LevelEdit exe with the one from this 'Tools ZIP' file.

 

And this is where I run into the trouble I mentioned.  After trying several times, I tried Jerad's post of adding a registry entry just as he had in the screenshot (adding a InstallPath registry entry into the Level Edit folder/registry area).  This did not seem to change anything, and Level Edit continues not loading as before.

Are there any broken links or updated steps I need to do if I have C&C Renegade through the 'Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection' method?  Thanks for any help!
