Please Help, and Thank You

Download the V-19 torrent for SWBf2, possibly from SWBF2 files, then read the "Sides" tutorial in the faq sticky.

I downloaded the "Vehicle side (conversion pack)" asset, which contains the V-19, but when you say read the "Sides" turotial do you mean a specific part or the entire thing?

Since it appears you don't know where to start, I suggest you read the entire tutorial(s).

I read that tutorial and followed it as said but it's still very confusing. Is there anyway one of you guys could narrow it down to much simpler terms for a nooby modder like me?

Why not just edit an existing REP side and add the msh, tga, odf, and req files for your V19 then call it up in your LUA?

Tried that before but it wouldn't appear in-game, but what do you mean whe you say "call it up in your LUA."

Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1gcw")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_fly_v19torrent")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_inf_rifleman",
"cis_inf_rocketeer",
"cis_inf_sniper")
That's just an example, don't remove all the other guys in the lua. Just
JUST MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE :dc IN YOUR LUA!

Calling it in the lua is putting dc: before SIDE\\ like this:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
That way, when you play the game, dc: tells it that the game needs to look for the sides in the maps addon folder.
It looks like this is somehting i need to add in my editor....

Sorry to go off topic here, but this is the wrong way to do it. That means we get stuck with an extra 40mb+ (remember, that's compressed) when we go to download this map when (if a user follows the documentation and tutorials) you can make a new side that's less than 5mb.
Long story short: NEVER just use default sides unless you're changing tons of things about that side. It's annoying to have to download a sub-par map that's 150mb.

You could then proceed to remove the reqs of the vestigial units and just load the rest from your stock game.

In your custom rep side (rep because it has the rep lasers already for you)
your req would only call for rep_fly_v19torrent.
Then in your lua, you would do this:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_fly_v19torrent")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"everything_else")
