No problem
I hope it works I typed a lot for that.

hmmm...I still seem to be encountering the same problem as before. I created the side following the tutorial, but still when I run the BF2_modtools and load the map, every rebel unit BUT my wookie unit shows up. Did I do the Lua correctly?

Looks like you did it right,to find out what else might be wrong, follow these steps:


In the BF2_ModTools folder there is a file called BF2_modtools.exe Put this in the [Battlefront II directory]\GameData. Then open it, this is a version of Battlefront II that creates a log of any errors or warnings it encounters. So play your map, and when you're done, go into [Battlefront II directory]\GameData and you will see a text document called BFront2.log. Post all of the contents of that log after the line "this.CurButton = Launch" (no quotes) Also, do not post any of the messages ending in "invehicle", that has nothing to do with anything, every map gets those.

Here is what I got:

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\WeaponMelee.cpp(3191)
WeaponMelee "all_weap_lightsaber_inf_default" invalid combo definition file "all_inf_wookie"

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\WeaponMelee.cpp(3196)
WeaponMelee[all_weap_lightsaber_inf_default]::ComboAnimationBank invalid params "human_sabre melee all_inf_wookie"

Post the Wookie's odf, I think you have the combo file and/or animation line wrong
Did you use a lightsaber for his weapon?

Also, Add this line to your LUA:

SetMemoryPoolSize("SoldierAnimation", 1000)

it will get rid of all those errors about that bank

here is the default wookie odf: I used a lightsaber, here is the lightsaber(same wampa saber, except renamed all_weap_lightsaber_inf_default) : The Combo File I have(same as wampa combo) is renamed : all_inf_default_wookie

I think this might fix it, but I'm not sure:

1. Copy the wampa's animation bank from the address above into data_***\animations\soldieranimationbank. (*** = 3 letter mod ID ) and rename it to name_of_wookie's_odf (substitute for the name of the wookie's odf)

2. Then, go into that file and right click on the Munge.bat file and click "edit" (no quotes, obviously). You should see this:
Change it to this:
(*** = 3 letter SIDE ID )

4. Save, exit, then go to your side folder, and create a filder called munged if you haven't already. Then double click on the munge.bat file. It just munged the animations to your side folder. Now, look in [3 letter side ID folder]\munged. you should see somewhere a name_of_wookie's_odf.anims, and some zafbins and zaabins files of the same name.

5. go into the wookie's odf and then change it to look like a jedi's odf I suggest copying another jedi's odf, renaming it, and changing the values of the mshs, and textures, and anything else that needs to be changed. then on this line:
(it won't really say animation_xxxx, but, you know what i mean.)

6. Substitute the animation name to the name of the file that is in the soldieranimationbank that you just created.

save, munge commmon and your side, and it might work.

I tried that, I am getting lvl 3 errors now:

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\WeaponMelee.cpp(3191)
WeaponMelee "all_weap_lightsaber_inf_default" invalid combo definition file "all_inf_default_wookie"

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\WeaponMelee.cpp(3196)
WeaponMelee[all_weap_lightsaber_inf_default]::ComboAnimationBank invalid params "human_sabre melee all_inf_default_wookie"

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntitySoldier.cpp(10536)
EntitySoldier "all_inf_default_wookiee" missing lowres animation bank "wampalz"

all_inf_default_wookie is the name of a base odf, the combo file, and the animations.

Find the animation bank "wampalz" and put it with all the other animations. That will solve one problem at least.

this line sems to be the problem:
I think that is what the first two messages are referring to. try changing it back to what it was before you changed it, and see what happens.

IT WORKS!!! Thank you all for your help, it looks awesome! If i figure out how to post screenshots I will.

Screen Shots are a rather simple afair. There are several ways to go about obtaining them. If you have the FRAPS program u can use that but if not u can just hit the Print Screen button (located above the right hand number pag area, across from all the F# keys and above Insert) Then Just paste it into MS Paint and upload it.

EDIT
These screens should work.

Hmmm...it says URL not found.

Glad to be of service!

Press the print screen button to take screenshots. then they will be in tga format in Star wars battlefront II/gamedata/screenshots. then convert them to .jpg with a program like XnView (download it, it's free). then upload to photobucket or imageshack.

New question: how do I give my unit a name, so on the select unit menu the I will see the name?

I want to create a hero for my wookie side, Is it possible to make a wookie that uses double gamorean axes, like aayla?

To name your unit, open up the editlocalize tool in your dataMAPNAME folder. Look in the "Entity" tree to see your sides, then go to the side you put the wampookie in. Click on it, change the name, save in the localize tool, then munge. Use the same thing to change the names of the attack/weapon, as well.

And congrats on getting your wookie working!

Wampa animations to Wookie nice, it's like the big monster type thing that excaped the zoo.

So what are u looking to do? Change it's name or add it?

Hmm..My side doesn't seem to be showing in the localize tool.

Kaos4 wrote:Hmm..My side doesn't seem to be showing in the localize tool.

Try remunging before using the tool, this time with the "localize" checkbox checked. I am by no means the final authority on this topic; if that doesn't work, see if Rends' Localize tool guide (viewtopic.php?f=27&t=971) helps.

EDIT: \/ What he said. I've never localized an original side, so there you go.
