use custom side in map

Post by Reaven »

i made a custom side(edited the rep side)....no big deal.
now i wanna use this modified side in a original BF2 map.(maybe from the assets folder?)
it should be like this:

when i select my modname it should open for example the mygeeto map.

the only way short of completely redoing a stock map is to munge you side, make sure that the names of the units are the same, eg "rep_inf_rifleman' is still "rep_inf_rifleman" in your side, munge your side, then go find the your side's .lvl file, rename it to rep.lvl, and then put it in .../swbf2/gamedata/data/_lvl_PC/SIDE, and it should work, as long as it is renamed to rep.lvl
