COH 2 Mod Tools Update Today

Today my steam client downloads a Mod Tools Update does anyone knows whats changed or whats new/possible with tools now?

Furthermore i can´t open the attribute files anymore does anyone has a solution for that problem?

I tested with a whole new made Mod file but does not work, too.

In my opinion it seems like a path problem or somewhat in that direction.

Mmm wire, so far so good for me. At least for now. I will try to keep an eye open just in case.

Did you tried to un-install and re-install the tool again ? Try to have a fresh start.

Regards, Olhausen

Yes i did but did not help at all

Could you provide some sreenshots and extra data to take a look

I can use the World Builder and the fx Editor without problems but when i open the attribute Editor its normal loading the files after i can see around a half second the attribute editor before its closing automatically

Check in your "Company of Heroes 2 Tools" folder, there are sometimes "AttributeEditorXMLLog.txt" files there that might give you a clue as to what is happening.

I got this error code:

make it seem like either something got messed up with your .xml file or the settings of the Attribute Editor. Have you tried verifying cache of the tools?

That had not worked but i found a solution.

I deleted the old AppData Tools files, deinstalled and reinstalled the tools and installed latest version of FlexSDK new now it works.

Good news. Finally a fresh installation solve your problem.
