I cant seem to figure out how to load the ep3 felucia trooper instead of the standard tie pilot in my conquest map. Added pilot as a 7th unit but changed all his weapons and now looking to make him look like the felucia trooper that I reskinned.

thanks!

In the .lua file, add : AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_pilot",1,4) just before the heroes

In the tie pilot .odf, change the geometry name of the pilot. So if the model is "ep3_felucian", add to the geometry name "ep3_felucian" (and remove "imp_inf_pilot")

And finally, in "imp_inf_default_pilot.odf", change your weapons !

I tried swapping

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "imp_inf_default_pilot"

[Properties]
GeometryName = "imp_inf_pilot"
GeometryLowRes = "imp_inf_pilot_low1"
FirstPerson = "IMP\imppilot;imp_1st_pilot"

for

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "imp_inf_default_pilot"

[Properties]
GeometryName = "rep_inf_feluciatrooper"
GeometryLowRes = "rep_inf_feluciatrooper_low1"
FirstPerson = "IMP\imppilot;imp_1st_pilot"

and the map crashes on load

Call rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia from rep.lvl and then put rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia over the pilot slot in the SetupTeams() code section.

Not sure I follow, I tried that and it did not work :S

The ep3 Felucia trooper`s msh files are in your IMP folder right?

Yes, are you sure that there is a file called "rep_inf_feluciatrooper_low1" in your msh folder ? I did the error before, and if there isn't any file called "rep_inf_feluciatrooper_low1" in your msh folder, the game will crash.

Welcome to Gametoast, glad it got solved! If you haven't already I'd suggest looking through the documentation as well as the moddinf forum FAQ, lots of good info there. Also, searching can prove useful, there's a fair chance that someone's had the same question before in the last decade here.
