Move different sides to stock game? [Solved]

Post by SkinnyODST »

Is it possible to move sides from a mod map over to the stock game that ARE NOT the right name? For example the RAS PROSECUTOR: HANGARS by DarthD.U.C.K sides?
In it the names are "rcc" "rph" "tra" and a lone "rep" lvl file

Nope. It needs to match up with the stock side names. At minimum "rep.lvl" and then within it things like "rep_inf_ep3_trooper". You could try hex editing, but it's rather tedious and chances of success are really low.

It is possible. You would have to create a new project for each stock map, figure out the side names from the mod, load them in your LUA, munge the script, and replace it with the stock one. You just have to open up the side.lvl with a hex editor and find the names. For example, if you wanted to take the heroes from Dark Times against stock Rebel Alliance team on Naboo, you would create a new project, add darktimessidename.lvl to the game's assets, load them in your script, and replace. You wouldn't be able to release it though. I know it is possible, I have done it before.

Awesome! Sounds complicated but I'll try. I just want to play with sides from other maps for my own entertainment. Some maps come with epic sides but you can only play as them in the one map is comes with.
