My Modding Q

Post by SBF_Dann_Boeing »

Ok Here are a few of my own questions for modding:

1. I have been trouble getting units from other mod maps, such as Majin Revan's Clone Commander into the game. When I add the name in the Clone Wars LUA, and test the game it either crashes, or it just has an empty spot where the unit should be.

2. How do you rename the names of the units and weapons and heros?

3. How do you edit the fire power of certain weapons, such as a rocket launcher?

4. How do you change the weapon used by a unit?

5. How do you name Command Posts?

6. How do can you turn wmv into mvs?

I decided to make a topic instead of searching through the entire forum. Help would be appreciated.

:D SBF_Dann from my Hypori topic on Lucasarts (where I am Relyt Tsueg)! Nice to see you here. Now I can return the favor... :)

Changing unit, weapon, command posts, and other stuff's names utilizes the Localize tool. See here: http://www.gametoast.com/index.php?name ... opic&t=971

I think Teancum had a tutorial for making .mvs for the level menu....

Hope that gets you off and running. 'Cause I gotta run now myself! :arrow:

Yes, I do have a tutorial for .mvs movies. Right here:

Also, the perfect 'getting started' tutorial is Saturn_V's. I didn't understand anyone else's, but his was great!
