Is there any way to get the Hovernaut, Falcon, and Rebel Combat Speeder (BF1) in game? I have tried everything yet they just don't spawn.

What I did was actually place them ingame, but post your lua and make sure the vehicle spawns are correct.

1. check your error log to see if their are any req issues aka "level chunk errors"

2. if you have these in a side(s) that isn't one of the default sides (like all, imp, cis, rep, jed, ewk, des, wok, etc), but has a new side name, that you also make a corresponding folder in _Build/sides that has the munge and clean batch files in them.

Yes it needs to be The dc means that it is in the maps sides folder and not the assests folder.
You also have to make a vehicles folder in your Build/ Sides and copy the munge and clean bat in.

Did you read the getting started guide, because this is all documented in there.

Okay, the good? I can put it in the map.

The bad? The freaking map CRASHES four seconds after loading.

Post he Bfront2 Log

This whole thing is much easier (and much smaller, sizewise) if you just create a custom side with just the vehicles in it that you want. It shouldn't be difficult, but I think what you're trying to do is too many things you're unfamiliar with at once.

I think the best way for you to approach this would be to:
a) learn how to make a custom side
b) set up a custom side with just one vehicle
c) make sure it works

Then you can go ahead and add in everything else you need.

Here's a checklist you should go over mentally when you have custom side issues.
-Do I have all the files necessary?
-Are my .reqs correct (did I create a .req file for the unit/vehicle and put it in the req folder, and then did I add the name of that .req to the SIDENAME.req)?
-Is it called correctly in the .lua?
-Did I add a folder (and the munge.bat and clean.bat) with the name of the side to _BUILD/Sides?

If you can answer all those questions affirmatively, then you don't have a side setup issue, you have most likely an .odf setup issue.

Again, with your situation I would just scrap what you have (don't use an entire ALL side, especially if almost everything is unmodified) and create a custom side. Read Jedi Creation. Read the FAQ. Etc. Etc.

Yes, yes, to Maveritchell you listen. :yodaful:

Also crashing after it loads for a bit is usually do to someone entering a corrupt turret, a corrupt unit spawning, and/or a corrupt weapon being used.

Thanks for clearing that up Mav and every one else for helping.

Post its req. There seems to be some error with it's req.

It's not the vehicle.req, it's talking about the munged texture.req

Something is not right with your texture.

Is it a power of 2? 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, etc?

How big is your map?

... What is that?

512 x 512

It's a power of two.


To caleb:
imp_fly_tie_x1.model in the "munged" section of my map. Here is the "class" file in the same munged folder.

Oh, don't worry about fixing those, reqs, they are made on munge, and if they are flawed, best to clean.

I don't think the textures should keep it from working, but go to wherever the texture.req(s) is/are, and delete them.

I.E. find the qex00011.texture.req, and the same files of any other such textures causing problems, and munge, it should act as a miniature clean.

I often do this when I just changed one model or skin in a side, and don't want to do a full or manual clean to get it to show.

Ya, see if that clears up anything. If you want the file back then just got to your recycle bin.

You should never have to edit any of those reqs. Not ever. If you have to touch those there's a problem with the munge itself. Do a manual clean (see the sticky topic) and re-munge.
