How do I get my user map to be identical to a shipped map

How do I get a shipped map to appear as my user map?
i.e. Utapau: Assault, Mygeeto: Invasion

I've been trying to use Coruscant assets for something I'm working on.

i would guess that you open up the coruscant map in ZEroedit and save it as your worlds name. then copy over the msh,odf etc files to your odf msh etc folders .. copy the sky file and fx file . and tweak your lua to look like coruscants ...if need be

I tried most of that. I copied the entire worlds folder from Cor, then I copied the .luas, edited them to my need, and renamed the .wld from cor1.wld to tem.wld

Lord-Bandu · Post by **Lord-Bandu** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 4:39 pm

open it up in ze and save it as tem.wld . You will get a load of other files aswell.

Ok. I'll try that.

EDIT: It did not work.

Here's my PC_MungeLog, if it could help:

Go to your lua script and look for the line " ReadDataFile(dc:modid\\modid.lvl)" or something like that it should be just after all the memory pools and change where it says modid(modid is whatever you named your map) to cor and remove the dc: so it should be something like ReadDataFile(cor\\cor1.lvl) roughly.

Lord-Bandu · Post by **Lord-Bandu** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 7:38 pm

Dont start with the cor.lua . make your own and add bits of the cor.lua to it .

I dont think you can have a modid the same as a shipped world.

It worked for me . All i did was make a new mod ,copy over the msh,obj ,munged,effects from kamino into mine, opened ZE then loaded the kamino world , delete the layers i didnt want and save it as my modid.

I copied the .fx and .sky from the kamino , renamed them to my modid and stuck em in my world folder.

You might have to re-place the CP's and spawn paths ,regions .... i had to.

You can have a shipped world as your one you just have to read the cor script in the assets and you'll see. the only things that you change in your script is the cp's and the world that is being called ie, dc:modid to cor, trust me it works

Hey Bandu, can you help me with this?

I'm making a Hoth map to create a faster, better, and more realistic Hoth battle. I made the new map (HTH), copied the odfs, mshs, and Hoth's world1 and effects folders to HTH. However, basically only the terrain showed up in ZE. The only objects that were there were the ones in BASE. I wanted it this way, so I guess something strangely helpful happened, lol. I worked on it for a few hours and the map has a BASE, Conquest, and eli mode. However, when I run it in the game, only the map shows up. There are no spawns to choose. I've tried everything from fixing the REQ to renaming and deleting files. The effects work great, I can see the snow falling in the spawn screen, however, it is unplayable and I have no idea what to do. On top of that, after I munge, VisualMunge says it could not find the HTH.REQ file even though it is right there in my world1 folder. It looks something like this:

Munging HTH.REQ - Couldn't find file
Munging HTH.REQ - Couldn't find file

It basically repeats this message (not exact) twice. I also deleted all the hunt. and CTF modes. Any ideas?

There was no spawns to choose from on my 1st go . I had to place new cps and paths.

As for the req problem , im not sure but you may have acidently deleted a ' or somethin .

Captain_Mazda · Post by **Captain_Mazda** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 11:22 pm

But I mean I've already placed my new spawns and CPs. Still nothing shows up.

This might be elementary, but if you started with the shipped .lua its calling for "HOT\\HOT1.lvl" instead of the dc command for downloadable content. It should be more like (dc:modid\\modid.lvl, modid_con)

Oh, and in some worlds...you cant save and overwright the original filename. It just comes back. I had that prob with Utapau but not Geonosis. Re-name it to something different then do the dc in the .lua

Ummm.

Unless I am missing something you should be using the same techniques we use to port over a swbf1 map. If you want a duplicate map just use the conversion guide and it works. I have done a few as tests.

Let me know if I failed to understand your question.

I get the bracket thing alot too. I thing the ModTools have a few bugs.

Post by **Teancum** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 6:18 pm

The "Bracket thing" is actually a syntax error in the LUA. It means you forgot a comma or a quote or a perenthesis or something. Finding and fixing that error will clear all of those errors.

yeah i been wanting to change the skins for the felica map (probably spelled wrong soryr just got home from work and tired) to that of the 327th colors, now when i do everything and munge it etc, when i go and test it there is nothing of fel there, just cp's no trees no nothing i tried renaming those files etc, and still to no avail any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

even help in telling me what directories to get stuff out of for a remake on the map would be great help im really new at this

i achieved this earlier, by doing basically what lord-bandu said but a bit different. here is what i did.

1.go to assets\worlds\tat\world2.
2.copied the tat2.wld
3.pasted into the mod maps world1 folder
4.deleted the old HM1.wld
5.renamed the tat2.wld to HM1.wld
6.went back to assets\worlds\tat
7.opened the odf folder and copied all thigns beggining with tat2, along with anything beginning with tat
8. pasted them all into the mods world1 folder
9. went back to assests and opened the msh folder, repeated same process
10. pasting all tat2 and tat into world1, including files in pc folder
11. now continue this till you've done all folders from tat
12. go back to world1, and u find various tat2.***
13. for example tat2.bar
14. rename them according to your 3 letter mod id
15. when doing this delete the ones already named what your naming tat2.***

i havnt dont all of these yet on mine just the wld and the bar as i didnt want to do my own barriers and the ai were annoying me when they walked into walls, though it was fun to drop time bombs on the stuck ones.
anyway then i opened zero editor and moved the cps ect so they were the same as the shipped maps. i dont know if one of the .wld, .bar ect is the cps but i do recommend doing all of them. i think one is lighting so my maps darker than the shipped one. oh well at least it works

ive been playin with the tools coz i just fixed my pc so they work again

hope i helped
