Well yeh really, however if you go into your SSS_data > LVL_PC > SIDE >
then you copy the race.lvl and the race.lvl file you see into the sides folder in your SWBF II directory.

So read the tutorial, then copy the race.lvl and the raceshell.lvl into your side folder.

Anyone can do it!

I used to suck but Gametoast really helped!

Give Buster's tutorial a try. If it doesn't work, ask some more questions. We won't bite your head off. :D

The first warning means you forgot something syntax related in your LUA on line 74. The second error is only a warning and does not matter.
