The title says it, I tried to add the clone assassin as 7th unit, but it doesn't show up/crashes the game.

I've added the AddUnitClass under the AddHeroClass in the lua, made a own side for it, but it crashes.

Have i done something wrong or missed I something?

Oh yes, here is my LUA:
And what does this mean?

Error log wrote:attempt to call global `ReadDatFile' (a nil value)

That should have told you the error in the first place instead of me pointing it out to you...

"rep_inf_clone_assassin")

Whoops, I am an idiot

Thanks bobfinkl, will change it

By the way, why are you adding the assassin to the rep team twice?

I thought you should add him this way.

Should I remove one?

Edit: so removed it and renamed the RaedDataFile, but guess what: It doesn't appear ingame

yes, the assassin = one won't work

...as long as you didn't edit setup_teams.lua.

Huh, now kinetos was faster

Ok, will add him again and see what happens

EDIT: hmm, nothing happens.
Why not.

Man, I am sad, I really would like the assassin in my map

Does rep_inf_clone_assassin have its own req file in the rep req folder? Is he in the rep.req? Are his odf name and all other references spelled consistently?

Generally, when you get the error above, it's due to one of these three reasons.

The only thing I found is his odf name is different (in the odf, I mean)
Should it be "rep_inf_clone_assassin"?

No, that's the class parent, not the odf name. If com_assassin_default.odf exists in either the sides/common/odf folder or in your side's folder, there's no problem with that.

So, to clarify, your unit does have his own req file? Have you opened it up to make sure you have the correct reference there?

EDIT: Wait, you're trying to load two sides with the same name. You shouldn't do that. Rename your custom rep side to something else.

Half Offtopic:

@Xav:
Yes, everything is fine.

If I change the Side name, I also have to rename the req, right? Anything else also?

@Aman: I just finished the download of Tuskencamp assets. But are there any differences?

Yes, and you also need to create a folder for your side in ...\data_ABC\_BUILD\Sides, then copy over the munge.bat and clean.bat from one of the other sides there into it. And don't forget to change the line in your lua that reads in your unit.

Thanks, you are a real help, Xav

Darth_Spiderpig wrote:@Aman: I just finished the download of Tuskencamp assets. But are there any differences?

Uhm...yes. It's not using any files in the common side anymore and the model has been improved alot.

@Aman: Ah yes, ok will use him next time

@Xavious: Thanks, it works, I love you man

No need to rename it unless you just don't like the name, loading the shipped rep.lvl and a custom rep.lvl is OK and will work fine since they're read separate from one another.

No need anymore, but thanks for the information, Ace.
