trainmaster611's Modding Questions

Hey guys, I'm new to modding and I have some major modding questions. Im working on my map: Tatooine Fort Assault. The first version is Clone Wars so we'll worry about that first. Let's see...I've inserted a couple of seawalls and two capital ships on either side of the map (which do not have hangars or otherwise interact with the rest of the map).I've inserted a couple of Spider walkers, some MTT's, and a few hailfires tanks. Let's start with the first problem. When I first edited the map, I would open it in BF2 (to test it) and it always gave me the same flat Yavin 4 flat landscape. After a while I realized I was supposed to munge it so I opened my data_TFA folder and went to _BUILD, opened Visual Munge and simply clicked the Munge Button. I let it finish loading but when I open it in BF2 and click "Launch", the map will begin to load and then the game crashes!!! Can some one help me with this??? And after we get that finished I'll need some help in trying to edit my map. Then my map is open to the public! :eobi:

1 go back to the _build folder and run visual munge again.
2 make sure the common and localize boxes are checked.
3 munge.
4 try your map.

ok cool, I'll try that, I didn't do that the first time I munged


EDIT
GRRR! Still doesn't work!!! :evil: Let's try moving some objects (they R awfully close) :vader: and then I'll try munging again :yod:


EDIT2
BTW, when I munged it said it could not find the paths or something like that :bobba: and another thing...I only have CW era objects in the map (for now) :bdroid: so I have only CW era sides in the data_TFA/Sides Folder. They R: cis, rep, Common, and tur. The tur was in there by default but I put the others in there from the Assets/Sides folder. Could either of these things be interfering with the map??? :yodaful:

No problem. Did taht go right over your head? Let me rephrase that then
1. Go to the BF2_modtools.
2. Look 4 the clone helemet.
3. Copy it and place it in your LucasArts/Star wars battlefront 2/gamedata
4. Double click on the BF2_modtools. It should run BF2 with half the screen in green.
5. Load your map. If it crashes that's ok
6. Go back into you Gamedata folder where you place the BF2_modtools.
7. Find a file called Bfront2
8. Open it.
9. Look through it and look 4 Level 3 servrity. EX.
Message Severity: 2
.\Source\VOHelper.cpp(183)
VOSound (all3_inf_pc_com_defend_inVehicle): unknown modifier "InVehicle"

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\Explosion.cpp(323)
Explosion "cis_inf_droid_exp" missing effect "cis_sfx_droid_explosion"

Majority of 3's cause crashes. 2's don't.
If stumped copy and paste your Bfront2 here 4 others to help.
Hope this is more comprehesiable.

There were a lot more of those Message Severity 2 messages but they would have completely flooded the server if I posted them all . Now u said I should post my LUA, exactly which LUA ru talking about and do u just want one section? If so, which section do U want? :chew:

EDIT
Several things t551:

1 U think I should change the sides on the Visual Munge to EVERYTHING?
2 How did an odf suddenly become involved in this? And I don't know what u mean by that odf stuff
3 And what ru talking about the common and the game knowing that the assets exist? :yodaful:

Two things:

1 I tried to put in the com_weap_veh_ord file inot my Data_TFA...yadayada...odf folder and it said it was already there. Strange. :calmon: I replaced it anyway
2 I'll post my LUA 2morrow, but yes it is conquest (I have 2 go now so I don't have time...yawn!)

All right...it's pretty long but here its is :

And btw, this is the cw era conquest LUA :bdroid2: . There is a GCW conquest :troop: but I don't know how to differntiate the two on ZE so I've only made an CW era...on the Conquest layer I think it is.
