Post your Jedi's ODF and also run BF2_modtools.exe and see what the log says the error is.

Same thing happened to me. It turned out that I spelled his weapon name wrong.

Post your lightsaber odf too.

Right now you probably just need to delete the AnimationName. I've done that and the game still works.

EDIT: did i screw up the comboanimationbank thing?

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 4:56 pm

oh yeah i checked the log thing and it says this over and over.

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\DisplaySoldier.cpp(349)
DisplaySoldier 'szz_hero_xavious' failed to find animmap szz_xavious_

danrosen · Post by **danrosen** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 5:46 pm

In the odf should the AnimationName be szz_hero_xavious rather than szz_xavious ?

archer01 · Post by **archer01** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 6:19 pm

Things to check...

First off: Did you create an animation bank for this guy? Are all three of the animation files in your side's "munged" directory? They should all be named "szz_xavious" with different extensions. If not, then either create one or use a different bank.

Second: Is there a .combo file named "szz_hero_xavious" in your side's odf directory?

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 7:40 pm

no, there is no combo file named "szz_hero_xavious", the combo file is "szz_xavious".
yes, i have the bank, it has three different "szz_xavious" extensions.
so i just have to fix that animation-bank and it should work?

Fiminopter · Post by **Fiminopter** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:08 pm

Code: Select all

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel          = "melee"
ClassParent			= "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

ComboAnimationBank	= "human_sabre melee szz_xavious"

GeometryName        = "imp_weap_inf_lightsabre"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire"

LightSaberLength	= "1.0"
LightSaberWidth		= "0.08"

LightSaberTexture 	= "redlightsabre"

LightSaberTrailColor = "82 255 7 128"

I think that should be your lightsaber odf. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

archer01 · Post by **archer01** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:19 pm

The line of code in question works like this:

ComboAnimationBank = "human_sabre melee NameOfComboFile"

So the code Fiminopter suggested should be right.

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:03 pm

so the jedi odf looks good? ok i'll try it.
No. Try not. DO. - some famous old jedi

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:02 pm

its still not working!

Fiminopter · Post by **Fiminopter** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:25 pm

Well, how did you make your own saber combo?

Xavious · Post by **Xavious** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:51 pm

i used the human_sabre animations(only basepose andstand_idle_emote_full), put them in my soldieranimationbank then double clicked munge.bat, and the animation files showed up in the sides munged folder
