Ok so I am munging majins commando files into a mapmod as a test and I get to _CreateShadowMesh(lod:0): created hires shadow (226 verts 1322 edges)
then it freezes. Is that natural? How do I get these files to work?

I was trying to see about it working for my naboo:midnight map and it wont.

Then I see this:
ERROR[levelpack shell.req]:Input file shell.req does not exist. [continuing]

How do I fix this?

It doesn't get stuck at "_CreateShadowMesh(lod:0): created hires shadow (226 verts 1322 edges)", it just take a REALLY long time for it to munge...

I know it's kinda bad, took like over an hour for me.

Don't know about the rest but Majin told me yesterday that the commando takes about 30-40 minutes to munge, literally.

oh...... that could be it. hmm.

Well if you want (and if it's okay with MajinRevan) I can package up his commando that worked for me and send it to you. I just munged and it worked....

Why are you munging the shell? Do a clean, then remunge.

Darth, you are awesome. [email protected] is my email.

Ok I'll send it to you soon. However, do I need MajinRevan's permission to do that? If so, should I ask him in his release thread for the commando or PM him?

No permissions needed for such a silly thing.



But, valiant, I think you just need to try again and wait for it to munge 30-45 minutes. Slower computers may require over an hour (mine's pretty good).

maybe. i will try and let it run, but tommorow if it doesnt work ill need the files.

this is a concern:

_CreateShadowMesh(lod:0): created hires shadow (226 verts 1322 edges)

Hey I've got it. The commando is called maj_inf_clone_commando so that's what you need to enter into the LUA. The file is called maj.lvl and you need to make a side munge folder in your _BUILD/ SIDES folder called maj and copy over a munge.bat and clean.bat from one of the other sides. Be patient because it takes a while to muge the models. But you know about that already probably.... the only problem is that for some reason there is no firts person, so you can shoot your weapon and stuff but it's not there. Doesn't effect gameplay though. Anybody else who needs these files you may have them and use them. Make sure you credit MajinRevan and the rest of the people who created it in the first place though.

Finally, valiant, the createshadowmesh thing, it means nothing. Just leave it and let it run and you will be fine. Here is the Republic section of my LUA for reference.

The no collision geometry doesn't seem to affect anything (at least, it never has for me) the other errors is what you need to worry about.

No unit model has collision geometry, except for cloth collision.

The Commando is MAJORLY over the poly limit, so it takes forever to munge. On my 2ghz machine it takes 90+ minutes. My suggestion, hit munge before you go to sleep, then wake up to a munged model.

All right. I've uploaded the maj.lvl file to filefront. Download it, put it in your maps's sides folder and load it in the LUA. If that doesn't work then... I don't know. http://files.filefront.com/majlvl/;5508 ... einfo.html

My commando only took about 5 minutes to munge. Wierd. (it OWNS :twisted:). Thanks Majin'

Hmm. Maybe it's because I had already tried munging before.... (with no results.)


Off-topic: How do you get a signature to appear? I know you need to make one in the profile, and check the box to attach it in the post, but it never works for me.

But, valiant, I think you just need to try again and wait for it to munge 30-45 minutes. Slower computers may require over an hour (mine's pretty good).

My computer isn't slow and it takes about 1-2 hours munging......

ha, I had a similar problem. I had the below error too.

The game doesnt understand how to texure the model (probally cause the high poly) so you have to add the texure commands in its req.
This is my clone_commando.req
