Cross-Era Units and Heroes [SOLVED] (Kind of)

Post by CressAlbane »

OKay, so I am making a mod which will use both CW and GCW units and heroes. However, when I tried this before, it had no sound. Also, things were very buggy. Can anyone tell me a way to get the sound and stuff to appear correctly? (Besides loading both eras in my .LUA, cause that didn't work.) In any case, the map is Holowan Laboratories.

Now, by "loading both eras", what does that mean? Did you remember to load the sound files (towards the bottom of the LUA), or just the units? And the name of the map won't help here, I'm afraid.

You don't load both eras at all. You pick one, and use it to load the assets you need. Loading the units and putting them on a team is fairly easy, since they are independent of virtually everything aside from the side and sound files. You'll need to explain what the bugs are, though, because there are many ways to cause problems.

How do you load both sounds? I am a very new modder. I only see the (YAV.lvl) stuff.
Help? :?

This is a tutorial on adding missing shipped sounds (although the first part is irrelevant to what you are doing). Just follow it but use the sounds you want instead of the AT-ST. Or you could just change your whole sound stats to that of Mos Eisley assault. Although that may not suit your map; I suggest using the first tutorial. There are more sound tutorials for adding missing sounds in the FAQ/Everything You Need Thread, at the top of this forum.

Well, I munged my map again (it was working) and now it just crashes. The only abnormal error message is
Message Severity: 2
(blah blah balh)
SkyFile FarSceneRange is in old format
???
What does this mean, and how is it crashing my map?

You're missing a texture, but that's not the main issue. I believe, once you find the right texture and toss it on, you'll get quite a shock. Any modder that's looked at the stock old Obi odf will know what I mean. :wink:

To get the shock without finding any texture, open the odf and check what mesh it uses.

In case you didn't know, there's a stock old obi texture in the BFX assets.

Also, how can I change to thread's title?
(Seeing as the sound was fixed)

I was wondering what happened.

It's better to make a new topic than change a thread's title, IMO.

I didn't know. :o Why is it stock if it's in the BFX assets?

Didn't want to get over-zealous, sorry.
And you didn't answer my question.
EDIT: Thanks general_mitch!
