help with creating new character on shipped side

i'm using the republic for the foundation of my new side
i've done everything except for one big task - create a new hero partially from scratch
it seemes like i'm doing everything right but the hero doesn't appear in the spawn screen even after i've unlocked him. theres not even that little message that says "you can now play as Jimmy Bob. Press f1 for yep and f2 for nope"
so far i've just been taking the rep_inf_default_jettrooper.odf etc. and editting the odfs to achieve the desired result. and its been working
this time i'm taking rep_hero_obiwan.odf and modding:
-the geometry section so that the hero runs off of an ep3trooper msh
-the cloth so that there is none :)
-the animtype so that it goes off of human_01, 02, etc., since the hero wields guns and greanades not lightsabers and force
also i created a whole new class parent in the common directory for my level
it was copied off of com_jedi or whatever but with some minor changes to character speed and health
i'm quite distressed plz help

First of all, make sure you read the jedi_creation doc. It's a very useful guide that covers most aspects of character creation to some degree. Also, please post the .odf of the unit you're trying to make.
