if someone get this to work please post

I think its not possible because if i launch hoth there are no footprints (ATAT has too no footprints)

StompEffect 			= "bigwalkerstomp"
StompDecal			= "decal_atat_footprint"
StompDecalSize			= "2.5"

So, here the small tutorial about this:

Making Decal.

1. First, go to SWBF2 assets, and find decal file, named hot1_decals.fx, in next directory:
C:\BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\HOT\effects
Rename it to your ModID, like 027_decals.fx, and put it, in your Worlds Effects folder.
2. In same directory, you may found lot's of tga footprint and explosion samples, so copy them to your effects, or create your own. Do not forget to edit alpha channel.
3. Open your world ModID.REQ file, and add the name of your decal file, exactly in next lines:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft
{
REQN
{
"config"
}

REQN
{
"class"
}

REQN
{
"texture"
"027_map"
}


REQN
{
"texture"
"platform=pc"

}

REQN
{
"path"
"027"
}
REQN
{
"congraph"
"027"
}
REQN
{
"envfx"
"027"
"027_decals"
}
REQN
{
"world"
"027"
}
REQN
{
"prop"
"027"
}
REQN
{
"boundary"
"027"
}
REQN
{
"config"
"flyerspray"
"walkerstomp"
"walkerstomp_sm"
"hailfire_wake"
"dustwake"
"bigwalkerstomp"
}

}

4. Edit your decal file, and put in there all needed names of your footprint and explosion scourch tga. Here the sample of it:

Hidden/Spoiler:

{
Decal("decal_explosion")
{
Texture("decal_explosion_scorch");

}

{

}

{

Lifetime(10.0);
FadeInTime(0.0);
FadeOutTime(6.0);
MaxDecals(50);
Color(255,255,255,255);
}

Decal("decal_dwarfspider_footprint")
{
BumpTexture("dwarfspider_footprint_bump");
Lifetime(10.0);
FadeInTime(0.0);
FadeOutTime(6.0);
MaxDecals(50);
Color(255,255,255,255);
}
Decal("decal_soldier_footprint")
{
BumpTexture("soldier_footprint_bump");
Lifetime(8.0);
FadeInTime(0.0);
FadeOutTime(2.0);
MaxDecals(500);
Color(255,255,255,255);
}

Decal("decal_tauntaun_footprint")
{
BumpTexture("beast_footprint_bump");
Lifetime(10.0);
FadeInTime(0.0);
FadeOutTime(6.0);
MaxDecals(100);
Color(255,255,255,255);
}
}

5. Now, you should edit odf, and the lines are different, for different tipe of units.
Soldiers:
probably, it is imposible to add different footprints, for different tipe of soldiers, so, humans, droids and wookie use the same boots .
Walkers:
You can add the name, and edit footprint size, by this lines:
Code: [Select]
StompDecal = "decal_atte_footprint"
StompDecalSize = "1.1"
Explosion:
You can add the name of decal, by this line:
Code: [Select]
Decal = "decal_explosion"
But the size, of explosion decal, connected, with explosion damage:
Code: [Select]
Damage = "40.0"
DamageRadius = "30.0"
That's it!
