i followed the tutorial here:

http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=12729

and i dont beleive i missed anything, all im trying to do is take the endor map and change the alliance side to be different assets from other maps, eg GCW troopers versus CIS troopers.

ive now got my own mod that when loaded will load up the endor map but the sides are still the same, they dont change, no errors, here is my lua
seems like a simple ask really but i must be doing something wrong, and i supposed to tick extra boxes before munge?

you posted the shipped lua without any sidechange... if this really is your lua this may be the problem

So, you do want to play as CIS against the Empire?

so, if you want to add the stock cis side, make this:
To this:
or have you just edited some skins, you need this:

ok, what about this section?
do i change those to reflect the new msh's?

Those are odf names, referenced above.

And note that it should be like this, instead of what Spiderpig posted:

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("DC:SIDE\\side.lvl",

You only need dc: if you're adding custom content to your side, CIS vs Imperials+Alliance doesn't require a custom side since all units can be loaded from shipped side lvls.

Apologies - I thought he was adding custom content. My mistake.
Spiderpig's is missing the quotations and ending comma, though.

thanks guys, i still dont understand the SetupTeams bit, does this actually set what choices the player has when they start the map? while the first part just loads them into memory?

yes, the readdatafile in this section loads the units (and vehicles and turrets if required)
and the setup teams sets upt which units are used for which class in which team (the clas only determinates in which height/position the unit is listed)

i cant get this to work, i can load up my map (replica of endor) but the class choices are still the default ones.

here is what ive done step by step:

1. Made a new map called HAR and munged it.

2. Went to …\BF2_ModTools\data_HAR\Worlds\HAR and deleted the world1 folder.

3. Went to …\BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\END and copied all the contained folders

4. Pasted those folders to: …\BF2_ModTools\data_HAR\Worlds\HAR.

5. Went to …\BF2_ModTools\assets\scripts\end and copied the contents of end1g_con.lua script. Pasted the copied contents into …\BF2_ModTools\data_HAR\Common\scripts\HAR\HENg_con.lua, deleting the old contents

and the new lua is here (changed parts in red):
i then munged it from my HAR folder with only 'common' box ticked, NOTHING in the sides box and HAR in the worlds box.

what am i missing here? i noticed in my game directory/gamedata/addon/HAR/data/_LVL_PC/HAR folder there is both a end1.lvl and HAR.lvl file, not sure if something wrong there. also when i go to play game, i have option of HARg_con and HARc_con options, both have the default class options but HARc seems like there is no map, empty, its HARg i want anyway.

GAAH why did you change the REP things in the setup thing.
IMO, you should change those back to ALL. Now, let me elaborate *clearly* on the part everbody is talking about:
Lets say this was your custom side. You OBVIOUSLY forgot one thing, everybody has been trying to tell you to add "dc:" to ur custom side option.

So, do what I did in blue: For example. And THATS when you have the said files in ur side folder

If you want to just add STOCKS, then you can do what you just did(load a rep.lvl for rep stock units) BUT you MUST add the unit for the roster(this method adds, not replaces btw)

AddUnitClass(SIDENAME, "unit.odfname",1,4)

Simple?

you mustn't change the team name only why you add some different troopers,
it depends on the Att and Def team you see here: the rest should be right i think

ok ok, still not working, still loads with default class options in instant action game, here is what i have now: thanks for the help so far guys, surely im just missing something simple!

you didnt read this guys only add:
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
the ones who stand in hide

well, i found my problem, i was a victim to this:

after fixing my munge files and following your instructions, all good, thanks for you help guys, much appreciated.
