• Invalid kit-pieces are shown in red – this usually means that the kit-pieces have not been authorized or are somehow corrupt.

If you suspect they are not authorized, exit BFD2 and run the FXpansion License Manager to verify their authorization status.

If necessary, authorize the expansion pack containing the kit-pieces. Then re-run BFD2. It may also be necessary to trash and

rebuild the BFD2 database.

Import BFD1 kit

Original BFD kits are very different types of ﬁles to the kit ﬁles used in BFD2. Because of this they are not

shown in the kit selector panel, even if you have speciﬁed a BFD data path containing kits made for BFD

1.0 or 1.5.

However, BFD2 gives you the ability to import BFD kit ﬁles to the BFD2 database. To do this, click the BFD1 Kit Import button

to bring up a system ﬁle open dialog. Then browse to and select one or more BFD1 kit ﬁles that you want to import. The kits are

converted into BFD2 format and added into the database so that they can be loaded in the kit chooser.

If you specify that you are a BFD1.x user during the BFD2 setup wizard, BFD2 automatically imports any BFD1.x kit ﬁles it ﬁnds

in the current data paths.

Saving kits

Use the Save Kit... item in the BFD2 Save menu in order to save the current kit.

Clicking this menu item opens a system ﬁle save dialog allowing you to save the

kit to any location.

Save location

When you save your own kits, you are prompted by default to save them in the

user level BFD2 folder at the following location:

<user location>/Kits

We recommend that you save your kits into this folder in order for them to be vis-

ible in the Kit chooser panel.

Wherever you save the kit, it is added to the BFD2 database. It is very important

to remember, however, that if it is removed from the database and you trash and

rebuild your database, items not saved in the user location are not rescanned.

Kit Photo

When you save a kit, a TGA graphic ﬁle is saved along with it, showing images of the kit-pieces it contains. This photo is visible in

the kit chooser panel during future use.
