hi my name is darthnukem and i have a problem.

I made some skins that i would like to put in my game.
I know how to munge a map and i see it in my instant action folder.

Now i want to get the skins ingame and i tried tutorials from the everything u need thread and others like on filefront but they all seem not to work.

Maybe it would help if there were some modders in the netherlands maybe they would explain it to me in dutch.

Thanks in advance...

greetings: Darthnukem

Make sure you don't forget 2 important 'newbie' mistakes

1st: Make sure you have COPIED the Sides folder from Assets into data_%%%>Sides folder

Even experienced sometimes edit the Assets

yep - it happens

2nd: Make sure you've added 'dc:' in your .lua.
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

That's an example of how it's on per default. Add dc: like this:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",

(Wow - I'm right now confused whether that was right or wrong O.o I haven't touched a .lua in months

especially since I'm not a mapper)

ERROR[levelpack rep.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\kam_fly_ride_gunship.lvl.req(1)...

ERROR[levelpack rep.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\kam_fly_ride_gunship.lvl.req(1)...
