Changing CP color on a minimap?
I have three factions in my mod since one is a local team. Can I change the minimap so their captured CPs appear yellow? I know you can in-game, but how about the minimap?

Nope, unfortunately not. It worked in the Battlefront 1, but in SWBF2 it's just red/blue.

Can't you just edit the tga file and color the command post to the designated color?

Unfortunately not, no. You can edit the TGA file to make the icon look however you want but it'll be recolored by the engine when it's drawn on the map display.LitFam wrote:Can't you just edit the tga file and color the command post to the designated color?

Ah, darn, okay. Thanks.
Also, I'm having issues renaming my classes with editlocalize.bat. I went to the tutorial in the sticky (http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?t=971), but my editlocalize looks a lot different. I can't find my units in it. I provided a picture below:

If its new entities, they won't be in the editlocalize.bat. You have to go to the entity to add your new troop.

Re: Changing CP color on a minimap?
Thanks.
Also, hate to spam with questions / issues, but everytime I switch to my secondary on two specific classes, the game freezes. I've checked many times to make sure all the .msh files and .odf files are there, which they are. These aren't even custom weapons - this is the standard pistol on the standard clone rifleman. However, when I place the pistol as the primary, it does work. I have no clue what this issue is and my error logs aren't reporting it, as far as I can tell.

Re: Changing CP color on a minimap?
The problem is that your weapons call for award weapons but the unit doesn't have them. You either need to edit your rifle and pistol odf to not call for award weapons or edit your unit odf to add them.
