Could anyone tell me where I would find the reference to "rep_inf_ep3_officer" in the stock Geonosis map? I'm trying to change it to an EP2 officer.

Thanks.

The Ep2 Officer is not in rep.lvl, so hex editing it in won't work. His files were they, they just forgot to add him to the munge before shipping time.

I've made a side mod, with him in it.

Oh, well in that case just do a search for rep_inf_ep3_officer. Replace 3 with 2 (every instance). You'll have to replace the original rep.lvl in /DATA/_LVL_PC/SIDE with the new one you munged.

I'll try that. As for copying it to the SIDE folder - heck, even I'm not that dumb...

EDIT: My hex editor can't find it in the GEO.LVL file. Where else could it be?

mission.lvl. The problem is that you're going to find the lua for every shipped map in there.

If you are going to be editing mission.lvl, it would just be easier to create a new one using the mod tools (assuming they work for you).

Make a new mission.lvl? How would I do that?

Create a new map.
Look at the official mission.req.
Copy over any files that are in the mission.req and not in your map.
Munge.
Backup the game's mission.lvl.
Copy your munged mission.lvl to the game's folder.
Run the game.

Okay, thanks. I'll try that.

Say, could I change localizing by doing that? I'm currently working on changing the republic, in fact I've got it up and running, could I localize all the new weapons and would it go through by doing this? The official mission req is located in data_mod/common, right?

In theory you could - just do core.lvl instead of mission.lvl. I think that's the one with localizations. A more experienced user would know how to do it.

Okay, thanks, I'll try that.
