Unit will not appear [Solved]

agzilla123 · Post by **agzilla123** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 4:48 pm

Well, it has been a while since I have had a problem, partly becasue I took a break from modding becasue I had a lot of school work. This break is showing however, because I bet my mistake is due to something I am forgetting to do.

The reason I am posting this, is because I am not exactly sure where to start. My unit is named cge_inf_arcprudii. He will not appear in game. Here are things that might indicate problem according to my BF2Log:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Message Severity: 3

.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(866)

Lua ReadDataFile: Could not open dc:sound\age.lvl;agecw

Message Severity: 3

.\Platform\Pc\pcFirstPerson.cpp(69)

FirstPerson::LoadLVLFile: Could not open FPM\REP\rep.lvl

I cannot think of why these would be a problem, as they have nothing to do with units whatsoever. Also, my LUA script for the map looks fine, so I am not sure what the problem is or where to start looking as I think the problem would be in the LUA script as I am not getting any error messages about the unit indicating that it is not appearing.

Of course I could be wrong.....but that is why I am asking for help, to make sure I am doing the right thing.

I will supply any information necessary to solve this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

You copied the Common folder from the assets to your sides folder right? And you put a folder in Build/Sides that had your side's name and had clean.bat and munge.bat copied into it? You munged your side and the common folder right?

Try this:

Open your BFlog. Hit ctrl-f. This allows you to find text.

Now search for anything that is even remotely related to your unit. Could be that it's a Severity: 2, not 3, that takes him out of the round.

If you find anything, post it here and we'll tyr to make sense out of it.

Does this unit have a .req file? Has this unit been included in your side's .req file?

agzilla123 · Post by **agzilla123** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 7:31 pm

To computergeek: Yup all of that is there, just like you said it should be. however, the lvl_pc folder that is made after the mungeing process. Has a sub folder that says COMMON in it, but nothing is in this folder. However, I should say that I have seven other units in this side and they are all working perfectly even though that COMMON folder has never had anything in it.

Fiodis: Tried that already (first thing I did). Absolutely nothing about my unit was there.

AQT: Yes, both of these files are there. Would you like to see them?

Any help solving this problem would be appreciated.

Sure, it could help. You may also want to double check your unit's .odf files just in case there might be a typo(s). The Severity 3 messages you posted don't involve your sides at all so don't worry about them. If there are no problems with your .req or .odf files then it could be with your .lua file.

Ok, here is my unit's .req file:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft

{

    REQN

    {

        "class"

        "cge_inf_arcprudii"

    }

}

Here is my side's .req file:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ucft

    REQN

    {

        "lvl"

        "cge_inf_battledroid"

        "cge_inf_pilotdroid"

        "cge_inf_securitydroid"

        "cge_inf_clonetrooper"

        "cge_inf_clonesergant"

        "cge_inf_clonelieutenant"

        "cge_inf_clonecaptain"

        "cge_inf_clonecommander"

        "cge_inf_clonepilot"

        "cge_inf_clonecommando"

        "cge_inf_arcprudii"

    }

}

Here is my unit's .odf file:

He has a cape, and here is the .odf file for that:

They all look good (I think), I don't see any errors that could be causing this problem. Could it be with your .lua file. You may want to post it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try putting "cge_inf_arcprudii" in the soldier slot

Code: Select all

rep = {
team = REP,
units = 28,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = { "cge_inf_arcprudii",10, 25},
assault = { "cge_inf_clonesergant",1, 4},
engineer = { "cge_inf_clonelieutenant",1, 4},
sniper = { "cge_inf_clonecaptain",1, 4},
officer = {"cge_inf_clonecommander",1, 4},
special = { "cge_inf_clonepilot",1, 4},

Post by **AQT** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:01 pm

Here's your problem

Code: Select all

arctrooper = { "cge_inf_arcprudii",1, 4}

You can't do that. You must add the line

Code: Select all

AddUnitClass(REP,"cge_inf_arcprudii",1,4)

before

Code: Select all

SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_macewindu")
SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_countdooku")

so that it looks like this

Code: Select all

AddUnitClass(REP,"cge_inf_arcprudii",1,4)

SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_macewindu")
SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_countdooku")

Hope that helps (it should).

Actually AQT, if you edit the SetupTeams .lua you can do what he did, and I'm assuming that's what he did

agzilla123 · Post by **agzilla123** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:05 pm

Ok, so what AQT told me worked.

I am trying to get everything working the way it should now. I will edit the topic if I get it working or I have a problem.

EDIT: I got everything working. This thread can now be locked. Thanks for the help everyone.
