I deleted the HudTag line from the weaon ODF but the icon remain in the middle of the screen. I also deleted the extra weapons file thinking that could be causing the problem but it still persists.

Removing the HUDTag parameter won't remove the HUD icon for the weapon. What will remove the icon is assigning a nonexistent model name to the parameter. i.e. (Just make sure you aren't actually using a model called hi.)

Hahaha will do thank you for the help.

Now onto a problem I've had this whole time but have been trying to figure out haha.
I have been trying to give one of the clone units the rep_weap_inf_dc15carbine from BFX but have run into a brick wall.
I add the msh files, edit all the odfs, munge, and the game crashes. I went into the BFcrashlog and the bottom line said that the rocketeer did not have a primary weapon.

BFCrashlog:

did you set the WeaponChannel = 0 ?

I did't think that I had to because for the rifle everything has been working fine without that.

Here are the changes made in the unit ODF

Working:
Not Working:

you don't need the weaponchanel = 0. it's default.

But you haven't read your log carfully.

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntitySoldier.cpp(10680)
Soldier "rep_inf_default_rocketeer" weapon 1 "rep_weap_inf_dc15carbine" not found

this is a little bit above. So please have a look if you have the weapon odf in your side's odf folder and that the nam is 100% exactly.

a tipp: fix the memorypool things. they raise the log and are very fast and easy to fix. Most here say you don't need this, but i think it's easier to check an log with 50 lines than one with 150

I dont know how to fix the memory pool things, then again I haven't bothered to look for a way to fix them.

So in your lua are lines with setmemorypool followed by a name and a number. So if soldieranimation should be raised to x just do it. You can also five a littlebit extra. If this memorypool line doesn't exist, add it.

Do your weapon now works?

I've run into another problem regarding the carbine but I want to try one last thing before posting it.
Okay so changing the name of the ODF fixed it, I'm not sure why the name was different in the first place, anyways.
Now the game crashes before completely loading and my BF2 log is as follow (haven't had time to do the memory pool thing yet so bear with me)

So it is saying that the weapon is calling for com_weap_inf_carbine_ord
BUT the actual ODF doesn't

However it does.

But you haven't post the right odf.

So near every weapon (pls correct me) has an my_weapon_name.odf and and my_weapon_name_ord.odf.

The first discrips the weapon itself. How much ammo per clip, overheat,.... The second discrips the things that come out of the weapon. Morta, rokets, laser,... About what color, traileffect, length, how fast,..... and if you have many weapons with the same properties you can make default classes. so let's say all your weapon's laser's are blue. So you have an my_weapons_default_ord.odf and in your my_weaponX_name_ord.odf (x = 0....10) you call the default parameters with

ClassParent = "my_weapons_default_ord"

You posted the my_weapon_name.odf. This calls the my_weapon_default_name.odf and the my_weapon_name_ord.odf. In your my_weapon_name_ord.odf is the my_weapon_default_ord.odf called.

And this file is missing. Mostly the defaults are in the side/common folder, because you can use them for rep, cis, imp, all,....
I hope this helps. It looks more difficult than it is.

Hahaha I've edited that ord odf a dozen times and never bothered to look at the class parent!
Thank you very, very much. All I had to do was drop the default odf into the common folder but I hadn't done that earlier because I thought it wouldnt load the same things so I tried to copy the rep_ord odf and that messed all kinds of things up.
Anyways Thank you.

That's what GT is made for
