What is the EXACT name of the file in question ?

Did you do a full install of the game ?

To fix this problem change the mapper2.cfg file's [system] section to the following:

[system]
critter_dat=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\critter.dat
critter_patches=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data
master_dat=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\master.dat
master_patches=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data

Where H:\ is the letter of your HD, and Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\ is the path to the editor. You should manually locate your executable/data files and change the path accordingly
Ya i did the Humongous install...

This may sound like a stupid question, but as I don't know you or your depth of knowledge of you OS, I will ask.

Did you enter the file paths exactly as listed?

Code: Select all

critter_dat=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\critter.dat 
critter_patches=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
master_dat=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\master.dat 
master_patches=H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
Did you enter the file paths without the preface?

Code: Select all

H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\critter.dat 
H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\master.dat 
H:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
Did you enter the filepath with the corect drive (probably C:)?

Code: Select all

C:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\critter.dat 
C:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
C:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\master.dat 
C:\Games\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data 
Or did you try to run a windows search for the actual files to move in to the aprpreate filepath as listed above?

Code: Select all

critter.dat 
master.dat 
I have returned! (again)
