Looking for modding help [Solved]

Like I previously said, you could make this edits in the script itself, rather than a custom side. If you do want to make a custom side, you have the choice of either copying over all the necessary Darth Maul/Aalya assets to this custom side, or you can just make a minimal custom side that only contains a darth maul .odf file and a darth maul .req file. If you are having trouble finding all the assets to copy over, this could be simple: just make sure to load the stock darth maul and aalya in your script before loading your custom darth maul.

I am trying with the custom side thing, i want to be able to play it multiplayer, and since u mentioned the other method would have the probability of crashing...

I had made a backup though of my data_ABC folder and my ABC folder in the addon folder though. From what I can tell, the crash will just start happening after messing around sometimes. How far into your mod were you? If you are not that far it might just be best to start over and make backups. Sorry I can't help more D:

Althought i can understand ur point i dont agree with u since ive reinstalled the modtools and did A LOT of data_ABC folders, from what i understood with my fails is that the problem is not in the folder, instead , the problem is me, of how i understand all of this. Thx for leaving ur comment tho

Oh sorry I didn't mean to worry you. The scripting method should not cause any crashes in multiplayer, provided you make the changes before the game begins. That's all -- you would ONLY have a problem if you wanted to change Darth Maul's saber to Aayla's in the middle of a game. If you load Darth Maul and Aayla normally and then copy these lines after the teams are set up, it should work just fine:

Code: Select all

 SetClassProperty("cis_hero_darthmaul","WeaponName1","rep_weap_lightsaber_aalya")
  SetClassProperty("cis_hero_darthmaul","AnimationName","aalya")

Should i put that code in the end of the .lua file?

Put it in the first section of the Lua, the part called function ScriptPostLoad

2 Questions:

1. After i give maul secura sabers,i want to make them red, does that mean i can just open the odf file, change the trail to 255... and the color to redlightsaber/redlightsabre , so i dont need to search the blue and green lightsabers in the assets folder? since its red...

2.

Code: Select all

 ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl", 
                "rep_hero_aalya")

do i still need to put dc:SIDE ?

jedimoose32 · Post by **jedimoose32** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 11:38 pm

1. Yeah, make the trail "255 60 60 128" or something similar ("Red Green Blue Alpha/Transparency") and yes, change the colour to redlightsabre. Just make sure that red lightsaber texture is in your side's msh folder before munging.

2. You don't need to put dc: in front of side there, because you are not changing anything in the Republic side. Just put it in front of whichever side you are changing (or adding, if you are making a new side).

I am planning on addressing some of your questions around this topic in a video tutorial - I'm in the middle of making a series of videos on how to get started with beginner and intermediate level stuff in the BF2. Hopefully that will help as well... should be up in a day or two.

Maul has the blue and green sabers now, 1st step success; now to change the color ;

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl", 
                "rep_hero_aalya")

where does the munge go seach for secura? at the assets folder? if so i need to change the secura.odf in the assets? i dont like how that sounds

razac920 · Post by **razac920** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 10:43 am

NEVER change any of the files in the Assets folder!

You cannot change weapon properties through scripting, so here you will need a custom side. If you want to make things easy for yourself, here's the shortest way to change the blade colors:

1. create a custom side folder, with the "effects", "msh", "munged", "odf", "req" folders and the side .req file

2. copy the darth maul .odf to your "odf" file -- be sure to rename it, and change "WeaponName1" to this time "rep_weap_lightsaber_aalya2" (or any new name) and "AnimationName" to "aayla" inside this copied file.

3. copy aayla's lightsaber weapon .odf to your "odf" folder -- and rename it to "rep_weap_lightsaber_aalya2" (or any new name, as long as it matches the darth maul .odf). In rep_weapon_lightsaber_aalya2, change LightSaberTrailColor (in BOTH places) to "255 0 0 128" (or anything you want, this is just Maul's red saber trail color), and change LightSaberTexture (again, in BOTH places) to "redlightsabre" (or whatever you want). NOTE that if you want the color to be anything other than greenlightsabre, bluelightsabre, or redlightsabre (e.g. violetlightsaber), you would need to either copy that ***lightsabre.tga into your "msh" folder or additionally load a unit that uses that color of lightsabre (e.g. Mace Windu).

4. setup the .req files according to the documentation (BF2 Jedi Creation.docx in BF2_ModTools/documentation) and munge! Notice that you didn't have to copy anything more!

5. Now go to your mission scripts in data_XXX/Common/scripts/XXX, and below the stock sides loading load your custom maul unit

Code: Select all

     ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
                    "rep_hero_aalya")
                    
     ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
                    "cis_hero_darthmaul")
                    
    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\[your_custom_side_name_here].lvl",
                    "[your_custom_maul_name_here]")

You can load other republic or CIS units at the same time, just be SURE that you don't forget to load either Aayla or the original Darth Maul

6. Add your new Maul into the game by replacing another unit in the SetupTeams blocks just under the ReadDataFile, replacing the hero in SetHeroClass, or in addition to everything else with AddUnitClass([teamnumber/REP/CIS],"[your_custom_maul_name_here")

7. Tada! Now you don't have to worry about hunting down every file that Darth Maul requires -- since loading the Darth Maul gets them all for you. Generally, it is good to know what they are and what they do, but unless you plan to actually modify them in some way, don't include them. A common amateur problem is to copy the entire Republic side over from assets to avoid forgetting anything/simplicity, make only a few changes, and then create enormous mods (in terms of disk space) for no reason whatsoever.

8. For a more professional look, follow this tutorial from the FAQ thread (http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?t=971) and make proper names for your Darth Maul character and weapon appear ingame (this is called "localization").

im doing something wrong for some reason , throught this method he doesnt appear with 2 sabers

Edit: Is there some msh file for dual blades? or is the odf enough

I skimmed everything and didn't catch any problems. Have you tried doing this without renaming the animation bank files to tcwmaul? I just uploaded my video tutorial on this topic this morning, and I cover this exact scenario, so go check it out if you want: HERE

razac920 · Post by **razac920** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 5:18 pm

Okay, I may see some possible issues:

1. Do you know what you are doing with the TCW Darth Maul mod? I haven't used it, so I wouldn't know, but you had said you wanted Aayla's animation for the double sabers, yet here you are using
ComboAnimationBank = "human_sabre melee cis_hero_tcwmaul" and AnimationName = "tcwmaul". It's not necessarily a problem, if this mod provides the animations that you prefer, you can use it instead, but then you will need to copy those files from whatever "munged" folder you downloaded it from to your custom side "munged" folder. Same goes for the new skin/geometry/texture/appearance:
GeometryName = "cis_inf_TCWdhmaul"
GeometryLowRes = "cis_inf_TCWdhmaul_low1"
Make sure you include cis_inf_TCWdhmaul.msh, cis_inf_TCWdhmaul_low.msh, and the accompanying .tga files in your "msh" folder.

2. [Mostly likely to be the issue]
In your mission script, you have:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_officer",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",

                             "rep_hover_fightertank",

                             "rep_hero_anakin",

                             "rep_hover_barcspeeder")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",

                             "cis_inf_rifleman",

                             "cis_inf_rocketeer",

                             "cis_inf_engineer",

                             "cis_inf_sniper",

                             "cis_inf_officer",

                             "cis_inf_droideka",

                             "cis_hero_darthmaul",

                             "cis_hover_aat")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\jdi.lvl", 

             "cis_hero_TCWdhmaul")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",

                    "cis_hero_darthmaul") 

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

                        "rep_hero_aalya")[/code]

There are two main issues. One, I said you should load Aayla before you load your custom Darth Maul, -- you load her after. Also, you load the stock Darth Maul twice -- that may cause an issue. Lastly, I just thought I should point out that you have both the stock Darth Maul and the custom Darth Maul appearing in your map -- the custom one replaces the SBD, and the stock one remains as a hero -- is that deliberate? If so, no worries, just checking.

All in all, try replacing the block of code in your mission script with:

                             "rep_hero_aalya", -- added her in before loading custom Darth Maul

                             "rep_hover_barcspeeder")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\jdi.lvl",
