Jedi Creation.doc goes over how to make a custom side. You may also want to check out this tutorial, since Jedi Creation can be a bit confusing.

Welcome to GT!

I have followed all the instructions from the tutorial by Caleb1117 on how to create a working side in battle front 2 recommended by Fiodis but after I munge my character is not showing up in my game. After I munged I got a list of warnings. I must be doing something wrong. The character I want is the clone assassin from Aman/pinguin's clone assassin source file. I am not sure what questions to ask to get at the problem.

Also, in the game for some odd reason there are 3 copies of my map in instant action. Is this normal?

Please help. Thanks!

ummm... i don't know what you're doing but you should only have one copy of your map in the menu. I've had 2 before by accident but i'm not sure how to change it. Maybe something in the addme file??

Could you post a copy of all the files you've used to make your side? The unit odf, req, side req, lua, and addme file? Also, we'll probably need a copy of your bfront2 error log. If you're unsure how to find it, look in the FAQ at the top of the forum...

Also, welcome to GT!

When I go to the faq at the top of the forum, I only see info about the website, but nothing about how to find the error log. Am I looking at the right faq? thanks for all the help

lucasfart meant to say The FAQ / Everything You Need Thread Version 2.0 located at the top of the SWBF2 Modding forum as a "sticky" topic.

Munge log warnings you can safely ignore, by the way. It's errors that you should worry about.

For future reference, you can put your LUA in hide tags. And you have the wrong thing in the SetupTeams section. Look at some basic FAQ thread tutorials for this.

If you have your ca side set up correctly:
Try using this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")

"cis_hero_darthmaul",

"cis_hover_aat")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl", 

"tur_bldg_laser",

"tur_bldg_tower") 

SetupTeams{

rep = {

team = REP,

units = 20,

reinforcements = 150,

soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",9, 25},

assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 4},

engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 4},

sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 4},

officer = {"ca_inf_clone_commando",1, 4},

special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 4},

},

cis = {

team = CIS,

units = 150,

reinforcements = 20,

soldier = { "cis_inf_rifleman",9, 25},

assault = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},

engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1, 4},

sniper = { "cis_inf_sniper",1, 4},

officer = {"cis_inf_officer",1, 4},

special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},

}

}

SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")

SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")

This will at least get the commando ingame if you did in fact set everything else up correctly.
From there you can change around units to your liking.

Also I know in your previous post you said you looked at some tutorials on this matter. I would highly suggest following the Jedi Creation guide and using the example files given and then copying and pasting them where you need them. From there you can get them ingame and further dissect their inner-workings. (For practice later, download random assets and try and put them ingame.) Good Luck!

you shpould change that

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",ReadDateFile("dc:SIDE\\ca.lvl",
"ca_inf_clone_commando")
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",

"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hero_anakin",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder")

to that

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",

"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hero_anakin",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder")

since you are loading the comando some lines downwards and reading too sides within eachother wont work

Code: Select all

WEAPONSECTION = 3
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_dcmelle_attack_arm"
WeaponAmmo = 0

In this entry melee is spelled wrong.

her is my req I think that is what is causing the error.

Code: Select all

 ucft

    REQN
    {
          "class"
          "rep_inf_commando"

     }
}

Yes it would appear that something is wrong with one of your .req files.
If the .req you posted is the same one as the guy you are trying to put into the game then it's name should be the one in the .req
For example:

Code: Select all

ucft
{

    REQN
    {
          "class"
          "ca_inf_clone_commando"

     }
}

I'm not sure if it has to do with the commando's .req though.
Go ahead and post this also: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_ABC\Worlds\ABC\world1\ABC.req
And don't forget to change your .lua to how DarthD.U.C.K. or I suggested because if you don't, then no matter what else you do it just isn't going to work. (And that's just the way it is.)

Unless you added water or foliage to your map, your world .req looks fine. Did you try changing the soldier's .req or your .lua yet?

where are you loading the clonecomando?
