Thanks Caleb they are pretty easy to do. Oh and I am having just way too much fun experimenting now.



This seem to be a global though meaning it is affects the selection for all the maps even though it is just called for in one. These are put in via the common.req and dc:common.lvl call.

cool fragme!

Yeah, nice. If you're feeling ambitious, how about an entirely new theme for swbf2? It doesn't have to be great, just throw one together! I am SICK of Mustafar.

Might have to package that in shell.lvl, though.

Yep, that's a shell thing. Once Zerted and I get the shell done I want to make a 'submit your images' setup so you can just submit the images to me and I'll build a new shell for you.

So is editing the point gain lua necessary to get a custom ingame lvl?

How more specifically would I change the icons?

@Caleb
No the part Zerted first mentioned is not required to change the in game team icon. You just need to follow the steps in the txt included with the customicon.zip file in the release map and mods thing.


I also appolgized to Zerted for sort of hijacking this topic with the icon thing as that was not his original intent.

im working on a complete hui for swb2, the common.lvl and the shell.lvl are done and now i tryed to edit ingame.lvl. when i munge and copy ingame.lvl to my addon folder then tha game crashes.

has anyone any idea whats the problem?

can you post the contents of your LUA and ingame.req as well as an error log?

lua:
ingame.req
log:

Hmmm, I'm not positive about this but try removing the:
ReadDataFile("ingame.lvl")
line, just leave your custom one. As seen by the rest of your Addme you haven't tried loading stock except for that one. Also, I have a question: Does it only crash when you try to load ingame.lvl? What I mean by this is if the other .lvls crashed the game.

Last of all why did you post the munge log? I'm pretty sure loopy asked for the error log (the thing that plays a mini battlefront). All the munge log was telling you was that the sound files are missing (and they are), to fix that simply don't munge the sound.

Agh, that is the addme.lua. This loads shell and is used for era mods. I need you conquest lua located in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_GOD\Common\scripts\GOD\godg_con.lua and godc_con.lua. Do you have a backup addme.lua? If not change it back the default addme.lua using this code:
you can simply copy and paste that into the addme.lua located in data_GOD\addme

Next, your conquest LUA should look something like this:


add the line in orange to your conquest.lua where I have that line. If that does not work, add it above the stock ingame.lvl line.

Finally, I was requesting an error log which is different from a munge log. The error log can be generated by follow question 4 in the FAQ/everything you need to know thread. Lastly, follow THIS (click me!) tutorial to make an ingame.lvl, but keep your ingame.req the way it is as that is not the issue. Good luck!
