Okay so I got a Pre Viszla class I replaced over the Droideka. Then I replaced a normal Mandalorian over the droid sniper class. The Mandalorian and Viszla share all the same files (body, jetpack, and scarf, other mshs) so one of the guys always overwrites the other in the game, so I have either two Vizla or Mandalorian classes, instead of one of each. How do I make it so that I can have both?

Well, you could start by having separate ODFs with different names for each person.

Ummm? What?

EDIT: Oops! Typo on my first topic, only the .mshs and .tgas are the same.

The FAQ / Everything You Need Thread > Using the same model, but with different textures. (simple hex-editing) ?

Wow How didnt I see that!?!?

Okay...more stupid questons!
1. Okay, so sometimes when I switch to my secondary class, it wont let me switch back to my primary. How can I fix this?
2. When I munge my stuff, my changes to the colors of the battledroid NEVER change..not even when I clean out stuff or delete my addon folder. How can I fix this?
3. I don't want any 1st person weapons or guns..how do I make it so that when I go into 1st person, nothing shows up...like no weapons or arms?

1) If you mean when you swap weapons you can't swap back, I think thats a bug with han solo or leia, though I did not know it happens to other weapons.
2) Which battledroid do you mean? For instance there is the Super Battle Droid (cis_inf_rifleman) then there are the regular battledroids which use override textures (cis_inf_engineer). Please post the ODF of the battledroid(s) you are trying to edit and their names.
3) It is along the lines of ForceThirdPerson = 1 if I recall correctly. Do a search or it and I'm sure you will find something on gametoast. I can't test that line right now, so dont be mad at me if it doesn't work...

When asking questions it is important to provide detailed information. Be specific. Tell us what you have done so far (in order) and post any errors you may have in a) your error log or b) you munge log. We will be able to help you better if you can provide these details. Happy modding!

ForceMode = 1, but I'm not sure that's what he means.

I'll go indepth more...and we will solve on problem at a time

PROBLEM NUMBER ONE: I replaced the CIS stock sniper and engineer's weapons with the rifle that came with the BF2 Mod Tools pack. I did this by editing the sniper and engineer's odf to this:
Now in game, I play fine as my primary gun, but when I change to my secondary, it wont let me change back to my primary rifle...any ideas why?

If you have the award rifle already permanently unlocked, the solution is simple:
Add The game want's to switch to the award weapon, but since you don't call for it in the ODF it can't find it and therefore prevents you from changing weapons, bacause having a non-existant primary would result in a crash.

Thanks a lot! I also solved my second problem, but I can't figure out my third problem. How do I remove the first person arms so that when you switch to it, you don't see anything?

Comment out or delete any "FirstPerson" parameter(s) in the unit's ODF. Example: Precede the parameter with two forward slashes (//) to comment it out like so:

I found those instructions useful(I never knew that stuff). However, I am yet to begin working on my mod for the contest, so I cannot use them in reality.
Still can't think of a good crazy theme...And yet I do crazy things all the time! ... like the Crazy Stuff IDK mod...hmm brb

The Co-Creator of the well acclaimed Mass Effect Unification Mod recieiving well over 10,000 downloads and voted one of the highest mods on ModB, great map creator and excellent sound editor. A talented Coder as well as one of the most helpful people on here as well?
I imagine if I ever take the careful amount time to learn how to mod, this would be most useful.

Thanks Eventually I would have asked every question possible...new question! How do you make a new rep_inf_default_blank so that my troops can have a variety of weapon choices?

Um, make a copy of an existing one, rename it to something else, edit its content to your liking, and have your troops inherit it using the ClassParent parameter? Seriously, Ant, how do you expect to innovate and grow as a modder if you can't figure out little things like this on your own? You can learn a lot of things on your own by simply attempting to see how stock examples of anything are set up.

Forgive me, I did exactly what you said before I asked, and a error showed up, so I thought I forgot something. The error happened however because I forgot to add a primary...lol
