Can't seem to get SWBF 1 jango FPM to work

Well I tryed carring over all of the proper .msh and .tga and .odf files
and dissabled the weapon lines in jango's odf so I could pin point any problems I had with him.

The plan worked.
But I got a error about "can't open REP/FPM/cisjangofett" or something.
So I must not have munged the FPM file properly because I'm sure I brought over all the correct files and not missing anything.

I'm sure I missed some info so ask question about what I did and if you could help my problem that would be cool :D
TY

Well here's how I have my files set up:

I have my
"Sides" folder inside are two files
"CIS" and "REP"
My .lua calls the stock cis side the modded "REP" side
and calls a third side which is the "CIS" modded side,
Hidden/Spoiler:
-- Start sidelvls
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_inf_basic",
"cis_inf_countdooku",
"cis_inf_droideka");
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_basic",
"rep_inf_macewindu",
"rep_inf_jet_trooper");
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_hero_jangofett");
--end sidelvls

This side contains all the proper folders for a side and was made using BFBuilder pro.
Inside the folders there are only jangofett's files.
I have a "REQ" folder that has this file and a FPM folder.
Hidden/Spoiler:
- "cis_hero_jangofett.req" -
ucft
{
REQN
{
"class"
"cis_hero_jangofett"
}
}
In the "FPM" folder is the "CIS" folder which has this file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
- cisfett.req -
ucft
{
REQN
{
"model"
"cis_1st_jangofett"
}
}
Ok, finally "cis_hero_jangofett.odf" has this FPM line
" - FirstPerson = "cis\cisfett;cis_1st_jangofett" - "


p.s. here is the error I get running the map:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Message Severity: 3
D:\src\FRONTLINE_PC\FrontLine\Platform\PC\pcFirstPerson.cpp(60)
FirstPerson::LoadLVLFile: Could not open FPM\cis\cisfett.lvl
Here is a pic of the windows explorer folder setup:

No it did not have jangoes fpm in my mod and have never tried it.

What you could do is use the clone troopers fpm which works call it the same name as jangoes and replace it. Therefore if it works then there is something wrong with jangoes fpm model.

I tryed what EA711 said, but no luck as there was a error in the munging process stating that some lvl_pc path was unable to be found.
I'll keep working, Oh is there a way to have no fpm for a unit? Maybe a line in the odf?

Remove the .req from the name of the fpm req

Thanks for the help Milehighguy!
And TY to everyone else.
I'll try it out and see what happens.
:D
No didn't work

P.S. What if I mess with the "munge_fpm.bat" file?
contence of file
Hidden/Spoiler:
@if "%1" == "" goto ERROR

for /D %%A in (..\..\..\Sides\%1\req\FPM\*) do levelpack -sourcedir ..\..\..\Sides\%1 -platformdir ..\..\..\_SOURCE_PC\Sides\%1 -platform pc -inputdir munged\ -outputdir ..\..\..\_LVL_PC\FPM\%%~nxA\ -inputfile %%A\*.req -continue -checkdate

@goto END
:ERROR
@echo Usage: ..\munge_side [sidename]
:END
It calls some files.
Any one got any clue?
TY
