My Common won't munge and it has a munge folder in build folder.

What's happening exactly?

You do have the common folder in your sides folder, right? The one that was in the sides assets?

Like in the cis folder for example?

Copy the files and folders from /assets/sides/common to data_YOURMAP/sides.

Alternatively, you can dump the files into your new side itself. For example:

/assets/sides/common/odf

copies to

/data_YOURMAP/sides/YOURSIDE/odf

etc.

It STILL did not munge what is the [Diet dr. pepper] problem with this thing???

I'm doing what you are telling me and it is not munging. I was talking to Xavious on xfire, and he said I was looking in the wrong place - in the addon folder of Battlefront 2. where should I look for the munged common?

It doesn't come pre-munged, its in the assets/sides folder.

Alright, let's get this cleared up.

The "common" side is a collection of parent odf's, effects common to every side, and basically stuff that every side needs.

It's found in BF2_Modtools/assets/sides
Copy the "common" folder found there into your data_***/sides folder.
Then, clean and munge, making sure the "Common" side is selected in the munge options, and the "Common" box is checked.
That should clear up whatever problems you're having.

Where does it come out munged?

Gauranteed no-fail method

1-Browse to /YOUR BF2 MODTOOLS FOLDER/assets/sides/common/odf. You should be looking at lots of odf files starting with com_.
2-Hit CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy
3-Browse to /YOUR BF2 MODTOOLS FOLDER/data_YOURMAP/sides/YOURSIDE/odf. You should be seeing the odfs for your side. Paste the stuff you copied there.
4-Browse to /YOUR BF2 MODTOOLS FOLDER/assets/sides/common/msh. You should be looking at lots of msh, tga and option files.
5-Hit CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy
6-Browse to /YOUR BF2 MODTOOLS FOLDER/data_YOURMAP/sides/YOURSIDE/msh. You should be seeing the msh, tga and option files for your side. Paste the stuff you copied there.
7-CLEAN (A MUST) and munge your new side. You're good to go.

You DO NOT need to copy over the common side with this method, since we're putting all the needed files right into your new side

Are the changes your making to common, working?
AFAIK, the common side deosn't munge like the others, so it won't be in addon/ABC/data/_LVL_PC/sides

It just... is.

From what he told me over XFire, apparently he wants to create a common.lvl to replace the game's default common.lvl.

Why does he want to replace it?

Not sure why you would want to do that, but I would probably try naming it something else for munging purposes and then just renaming the munged file to common.lvl.

Oh so thats what your doing.

Then what Authraw said would work.

Because I edited it. I did the read data file dc:side thing. or is that not required.

So you're telling me you want to replace the common.lvl that shipped with the game because you edited it? Just reinstall the game. Custom common.lvls are not easy to do, as far as I know only [RDH]Zerted and myself have built them correctly, and the only reason was for large-scale mods.

I think he wants to make a new one, or alredy has, and can't get it to work.
