Very trivial question, after being unable to mod for so long I can't remember where to put the "dc:" in the mission.lua files to tell it that there are side changes. Neutral

(Right...this is probably in the tutorials...)

Code:: ReadDataFile("sound\\cor.lvl;cor1cw")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
         "rep_fly_assault_DOME",
         "rep_fly_gunship_DOME",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
"rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
"rep_hero_macewindu")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_inf_rifleman",
   "cis_fly_droidfighter_DOME",
   "cis_inf_rocketeer",
"cis_inf_engineer",
"cis_inf_officer",
"cis_inf_sniper",
"cis_inf_droideka",
"cis_hero_darthmaul")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",
      "tur_bldg_laser")

SetupTeams{

rep = {
team = REP,
units = 32,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",7, 25},
assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 4},
special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},

},
cis = {
team = CIS,
units = 32,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "cis_inf_rifleman",7, 25},
assault = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = { "cis_inf_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"cis_inf_officer",1, 4},
special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},
}
}
SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_macewindu")

I'm still missing a lot of programs and I can't recall what I used to view .tga files. What do you guys use?

Simple enough, thanks Lephinx!

Edit: Now I'm sure I forgot a step. After munging and testing a map. The unit swaps & name changes do not appear in game.

1. All the mission files cor1c_con, dag1c_con, dea1c_con, etc are in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_RAC\Common\scripts\RAC
2. The maps now have dc: in the correct location near for the CIS side.
3. The mission.req file has all the mission names added under REQN { "lvl" mission and map names in parenthesis
4. ?

What am I forgetting to do?

My bad, needed to be more specific. I know how to change names, create sides, and create maps. I need to add these changes to stock maps. Adding multiple skins and specials depending on the map. Localization for all weapons in every mission. I've done this all before I just cannot recall what I'm missing in order to accomplish this.

Damn my brain... Neutral

Your doing the exact thing i'm referring to in your "Reloaded Side Mod"

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 11:16 am

For your changes to take effect, you need to replace the stock sides with your sides.

place here: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC\SIDE

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 2:24 pm

I set the side up to be tested on geonosis conquest. After munging the map, side, and replacing the original cis side with my own I entered the game started a game on geonosis conquest and it crashed.

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 8:01 pm

copy the BF2_modtools.exe from here: C:\BF2_ModTools
and paste it to here: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData

Then run the BF2_modtools.exe

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 8:28 pm

Popup after running BF2_modtools.exe in GameData folder. "Please insert CD 1"

I have the Steam Version of the game.

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 9:13 pm

Uh. I'm lost with the steam version. I dont know if theres a patch for it.

Are you trying to replace a stock stage?

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/18/2012, 9:18 pm

I'm trying to set different skins for different stock stages, swapping heroes, and giving maps specific special units.

For Example:

Geonosis, Kamino, and Polis Massa use the Geonosis Droid Skins
Coruscant, Tantive IV, and Tatooine use the Standard Droid Skins

I've done this before and have gotten it to work in my previous version for this mod, but I can't get it to work this time around, I know I'm missing something but I can't remember what it is. Instead of the mission.lvl replacement, I make use of the addon method. Add the map to the addon folder and the mod is in place.

Subject: Re: [Solved]Quick Refresher 11/20/2012, 3:53 am

Swapping heros on stock stages can be done via hexing the stock mission.lvl

You can give maps specific special units by hexing the stock mission.lvl

As for the stages, what you say "I'm trying to set different skins for different stock stages"
Do you mean, you want your custom skins to appear on the levels? props etc?
Or you trying to get vehicles with custom skins?
