You need to set up your custom side; and after it should read ReadDataFile(dc:SIDE//imp.lvl

you'll have to do just as Gogie said, you'll need to set up a "custom" side and then change (or add) a preexisting tie fighter.
Every "team" in battlefront two (CIS, Republic, Rebel Alliance, Ewoks ect) is contained in its own "side" folder.
In order to edit a soldiers appearance, weapon, or in your case vehicle, you'll need to create a "custom side".
a tutorial can be found here:

A couple of things, it looks like you're missing weapon odfs.
Secondly, in your lua, it should be "scm_fly_tiehunter") instead of "scm_fly_tiehunter", because it's the last req being called for that side, see how for the other sides the last one has a ) at the end.

Edit because I reread lua and I was wrong.
Do you have imp att set in the second page of vehicle spawns odf?
Edit 2: scm should not be 1kb your sides aren't munging properly do you have the improved and fixed munge files?
Edit 3: your lua is also missing a closing bracket it should read
ReadDataFile(dc:SIDE\\imp.lvl, "scm_fly_tiehunter")

Do you have a memory pool allocated for EntityFlyer in your mission script? If not, add one.
Example:

"Mission script" refers to your map's associated LUA file, which will be named something along the lines of "ABCc_con.lua", "ABCc_Diet Dr. Pepper.lua", etc.

You should add the line anywhere around where the other SetMemoryPool lines are located - not the Combo ones though.

It's not a complicated concept, you just need to apply your critical thinking skills.
This is the section of the script where you should add the line:
Code: Select all
-- Level Stats
ClearWalkers()
AddWalkerType(0, 0) -- number of droidekas
AddWalkerType(1, 0)
AddWalkerType(2, 0)
AddWalkerType(3, 0)
local weaponCnt = 256
local guyCnt = 64
SetMemoryPoolSize("Aimer", 20)
SetMemoryPoolSize("AmmoCounter", weaponCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("BaseHint", 250)
SetMemoryPoolSize("EnergyBar", weaponCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityCloth", 0)
SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityFlyer", 0)
SetMemoryPoolSize("EntitySoundStatic", 45)
SetMemoryPoolSize("Navigator", guyCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("Obstacle", 393)
SetMemoryPoolSize("PathFollower", guyCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("PathNode", 384)
SetMemoryPoolSize("SoldierAnimation", 442)
SetMemoryPoolSize("SoundSpaceRegion", 26)
SetMemoryPoolSize("TentacleSimulator", 0)
--SetMemoryPoolSize("Timer", 512)
SetMemoryPoolSize("TreeGridStack", 150)
SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitAgent", guyCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitController", guyCnt)
SetMemoryPoolSize("Weapon", weaponCnt)

Sorry, that's my bad. The name shouldn't be SetMemoryPool, it should be SetMemoryPoolSize.

The EntityFlyer memory pool needs to be filled in order to have flyers spawn in-game no matter what. :p
