You can play as whatever you want on any map that uses stock units. Just edit your side lvl files.

No, but they aren't needed. It's that amazing!
Could you take other modded sides from other mods and implement them into this mod?

I tried replacing the rep.lvl with my own custom one and the map wouldn't load. I don't think this map is compatible with modded sides that weren't included with the mod itself.

If a mod map is loading sides from its own SIDE folder, replacing those sides is most likely not going to work.

Maybe you should create your sides folder with the exact same names. But vehicle, weapons will be the problem. But it should work to add (as example) mass effect units to your map. You only need to know how the unit codes are. But I think this is not allowed.

Off-topic: Well...adding the units from MEU is very different from the standard way of doing it. There's a lot more to it than the typical SetupTeams table and all that.
But in most other mods' cases, yeah, it's typically relatively simple if you know what the ODF names and junk need to be.

Let me think. You call your units ncwlncwnixo.req or odf. So nobody can copy them. Right?

Off-topic: LOL, nah, but that'd be hilarious.

The way I do it uses the calling of my own custom functions that are stored in separate scripts. Those functions use if...then statements that check for and read a set of custom variables in each map's mission script that determine which side variation, heroes, and environment type (jungle, urban, etc. - specifically for the Alliance Infiltrator's textures) should be loaded, apply those settings accordingly, and then the various custom functions are called in different places throughout each mission script. The reason why I'm doing things this way is because it makes making simple changes such as decreasing a single team's unit count extremely easy because instead of having to go through each and every mission script to make that one change, I can make the change in the master script and it will be applied to every single mission script on the fly. Yay, Lua!
Fun-fact/stat: My custom MEU scripts consist of a total of 3,880 lines.

This are awesome maps, specially for Umbara. Cato Neimodia would be just perfect for a Sky to Ground!

Note for all sky to ground fans:
I am not going to make a 5th mappack. I have a 100times better mapidea.
Space to Sky to Ground
A mix of Redlines space to ground and my sky to ground maps. I only need someone who can model me a huge dome.

Me and Nedarb7 are working on a solution
HERE. But it should be advised that one should NEVER release such a mod without written permission from the map's author.

This is probably one of the Best Mods I've played on BFII so far. There are just a couple of minor issues, but overall this mappack is amazing.

One of the greatest things is the high reinforcement count, that really makes it feel like it's a huge battle. Umbara is probably my favorite, mostly because of the nostalgia of TCW, it could have used Umbarans as a unit for the CIS though, and also another thing, The Droid Landing Ship, nicely done, really reminds me of when I used to play TCW MMO before it was shut down in March. If there was one space to ground mappack to rule them all, this would be it.

Thank you for your opinion.
The Space to Sky to Ground concept works. It looks very good. There are space, sky and ground battles. The first of three maps are Naboo.
