All i did so far was design them in the Rep asset folder.

EDIT: I have nothing in that side folder...

If your not making a map skip:

Code: Select all

Now go to:
\BF2_ModTools\data_ABC\Common\scripts\ABC
and open the LUA file named:
ABCc_con.lua (ABCg_con.lua for GCW)
Now, if you look down the LUA file you will see:
Code:
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

change it to this:
Code:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",

Then close and save the LUA.

Do you mean you put them in C:\BF2_ModTools\assets\sides\rep?
Because that won't do anything.

Go to C:\BF2_ModTools\data_***\_LVL_PC\SIDE and copy the "rep.lvl" and "repshell.lvl" then go to C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side
and put the rep.lvl and repshell.lvl into a backup folder. Now take your
rep.lvl and repshell.lvl and place them in C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars
Battlefront II\GameData\data\_lvl_pc\side. Run battlefront 2

Did you munge with sides selected "EVERYTHING" and does your rep folder and common side folder exist in: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_***\Sides?

New plan try going to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\ANT\data\_LVL_PC\SIDE
instead and copy your side from there.
