Map Vault: "The system cannot find the path specified"

Postby Zappa » 04 May 2012, 18:09

Hi,

It's my first time having installed FAF, when opening the Map Vault the following error is produced:

--------------------- START----------------------

**FAF Username:** bartvh

**FAF Version:** 0.7.513

**FAF Directory:** C:\ProgramData\FAForever

**FA Path:** None

**Home Directory:** C:\Users\Bart\Documents

**Stacktrace:**
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vault\__init__.pyc", line 148, in checkMaps
File "fa\maps.pyc", line 198, in mapExists
File "fa\maps.pyc", line 175, in existMaps
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: u'C:\\Users\\Bart\\Documents\\My Games\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\\Maps\\*.*'

}}}
--------------------- END ----------------------

As far as I know there are two relevant directories: both named "Supreme Commander (-) Forged Alliance", one in \Program Files and one in \Documents\My Games. The Program Files game directory contains a 'maps' subdirectory containing some maps I put in there once, the My Games directory does not contain a 'maps' subdirectory.

I've tried copying /maps to the My Games folder and also moving it from Program Files to My Games. To no avail, but the error is a bit different in these cases:


--------------------- START----------------------

**FAF Username:** bartvh

**FAF Version:** 0.7.513

**FAF Directory:** C:\ProgramData\FAForever

**FA Path:** None

**Home Directory:** C:\Users\Bart\Documents

**Stacktrace:**
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vault\__init__.pyc", line 148, in checkMaps
File "fa\maps.pyc", line 198, in mapExists
File "fa\maps.pyc", line 176, in existMaps
WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'maps/*.*'

}}}
--------------------- END ----------------------

Am I missing an obvious point?

Thanks,
Bart

You can use "offline" version until it's fixed ;)

Thanks for your quick reply. No more issues when copying /maps from C:/Program Files/../SupComFA to My Games/../SupComFA. Installed a map without issues, it was installed in My Games. Can I remove the Program Files /maps directory?

Cheers,
