OK I know how to texture and everything. I have used Fierfek's tutorial and I've made sure I copy the scripts to put custom people in-game but everytime I try to run my map, the game just crashes. No reason given. Is there something special I need or what?

Did you put dc: in front of your teams name.
Heres a tutorial on Custome side from the FAQ.
And welcome to GT

Make sure you copy the "Common" folder from BF2_ModTools/assets/sides to data_abc/sides.
It would help if you described what you did in a bit more detail. Could you post the error log?

@Spartan. Yes I did put dc: in front.

@Cress Where do I get the error log? Is it the notepad document that comes up when I finish munging?

no, thats the mungelog. and errorlog(bfront2log) is created by the bf2_modtools.exe, you can find an explanation about it on top of the everythingyouneedthread.

Also it would be nice if you posted your lua.

I'm going to drop this problem for now because I just realized that I need to get better at map making itself. I'll worry about sides later when I have a good map.

im thinking of replacing the stock republic side with the stock rebels any1 knows what the file name is for the rebel sides?

i only know that rep and repmarine is for the republics, cis for cis, imp for imperials

It doesn't work that way; you can't just replace a side with another side by simply renaming the .lvl file. The rebels use the prefix all, by the way.
