Okay to clarify to everone.

My mod takes place in the first and second seasons of the show, and the first 3 episodes of season 3. I cant keep updating it forever or it will never get done.

Mini update, new icon for the republic, I modeled it mydself 100%
All modding will be dalayed for awhile, my ac adapter died and I am posting this with my last battery power.
Keep modding everyone, :plokoon: I will return.

Great Model. Keep up the good work!

It's great you're really good

Very cool

1 word AWESOME

Thanks everyone

Okay, I repaired my ac adapter chord untill I can afford a new one.

I am going to be doing alot of lua work. I need to set up my random scripts so that I can have the heroes localized right. Now they are just Localized as Republic Hero, or CIS Hero. Why you ask?
Well, I am trying to have the heros randomized WITH the clone legions, not seperatly. Right now they are just rep_hero_all, so that no matter what it will always read the hero. but its kinda wierd. I am not great at lua so I need to work hard.

That's effectively nothing different from what is used in Dark Times. The scripts that are provided to help people add the era to their map can also be used as an example.

I am trying to use your scripts to give me an idea what needs to be done. I just need to creat a string for each class, because I also have a team that doesnt have the same names. I am happy that you are trying to help me mav I always could use help from the master

this is what my randomlegion script looks like now

My point is that you can store string names as variables in the .lua. In the DT scripts, teams were loaded in like this:
All of those there not surrounded by quotation marks are variables, and they're selected based on a previously randomly generated number. You don't need to have each hero take the same name (nor do you necessarily need to have each grouping of units in a separate side), you can call your hero whatever, tell the .lua to load in a variable for the hero (SetHeroClass(REP, herovariable)) and in your random script assign a string value to that hero variable based on the results of your random number.

Okay, I spent 5 hours reworking everything. I tried my best but it doesnt work. This is my lua script. but I get this error I dont even know if am on the right track....

Your problem is that you're not randomly selecting your units until after you've already loaded the level (all your random work is done in ScriptPostLoad). It's easiest to create a simple separate .lua file used for the random unit selection (just like the example "TFURandom.lua") and load that in at the beginning of ScriptInit.

AHHH, the intelligent conversation hurts my brain ....its also very intruiging.

Sorry to bring this a bit offtopic but Mav are you saying that only one lua loaded in scriptpostload can do random units and all lua being used in a mod are not needed to be edited other than the scriptpostload?

Thanks so much
I reveresed engineered your scripts and tried out a couple things and I got it working, beautifully. Even the extra bit about anakinishere = 1, preventing anakin and grievous to appear on the same map. Thanks again, you are a magician when it comes to lua scripting, no one is better.
Spira is evidence of that.

I set it up like this

TCWRandom.lua Important section of ???w_con I know part of that is redundant, but it works.

You and me both.

How's it going WULFMAN!

IMO, the colored skins should have more battle damage, they dont look very real, just an advice.

Wow, i'm looking forward to this map. Looks like you've put alot of effort in this map, i'm sure everyone will enjoy this.

Offtopic - Yaaay, i've been ranked to Private First Class

Good, working very hard to get this done. I am putting the finnishing touches on the rep side(s)
and working on some cool units for the CIS, I am having some randomized units for them too.

Well, two things, no 2. 1:I at times have to restrain myself at how much dammage I WANT, and do how much they need.2: If you watch the show, most clones dont have much battle damage, or paint jobs, 90% of clone are unpainted.3: I love putting damage on them, but I also take into account, which clones will have the most damage. A sniper will not have as much as a Heavy Weapons specialist, etc.
4: snow troopers and camo troopers do not get battle damage. 5: Some clone legion will have more battle damage than others.
501st=Most
Wolfpack=Second most
212th=Close third
327th= forth
187th=fith
7th=least
etc

Thanks for the input.

-FixedThanks


Update: I decided to let the 7th legion be randomized with the rest of the legion. Why? Well, otherwise they are just an extra 90mb for just 2 maps, coruscant and death star. This way the payoff is higher, besides, the 7th left coruscant TWICE so far in the show. I will also add Leutenant Thire to the non coruscant maps instead of Fox, because heappeared in Season 1 Episode 1, Ambush. Yoda leeads the 7th into combat, that way you can play as yoda anywhere two.

Also, when I finally get Ahsoka into the mod thanks to Bamdur123, she will be randomized so that when you get the 501st, sometimes the hero is anakin, sometimes its Ahsoka.

Whew there are alot of clone skins to do , each clone may not have his own paint job, although most will, other than camo or snow troops, each has his own battle damage, like the Wolfpack.
Grand total nubmer of clone skins is
54+ And I spend alot of time making each one perfect, jeez, I spent 3 hours total on my commander cody skin alone:shock:

My timetable is been delayed abit thanks to school, computer failures, etc. So the planned release is March 2011. The beta should be out in Febuary 2011. can you guys believe its 2011

Great update! Looking forward to the randomized units

Great Update
