Been working on an era mod and I'm trying to edit a couple of things on some of the stock maps, I have tried to add locals to coruscant and none of my changes are showing up ingame. I copied the neccesary coruscant files and edited the req for my needs. I edited the world files and followed the steps for adding locals, I did this in a new layer called cor1_BFE. I munged and nothing ingame changed. My cor1.lvl file seems strangely unpopulated.

cor1.lvl cor1.req I'm assuming the error is in the req, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to have in there.

error log

You updated the REQ/LDX files via Zero Editor, yes?

Yep, I did.

EDIT: I'm trying to add locals. I added in a spawn path and an invisible CP, I followed all the regular steps. Is there anything else I need to add to my req?

Please elaborate.

Unless you are setting this up in a layer that you plan to use as a game mode, if you do what Marth suggested, then this will be done automatically for you.

I followed the steps from this tutorial (the ones for an invisible CP) http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=6088

I placed the CP and spawn path.
I put the CP under the ground.
I added locals to the lua, and created my local unit.
I set the enemy/friend thing, and munged.

I did make a new game mode and layer.

So what you're saying is none of your locals spawn on the map?

Could we see your lua please? Even if you don't think there's a problem it's always useful to post the most important files like the lua you edited....

Sure thing. Yes, my locals do not spawn.

I had a problem like this, and for some crazy reason, the problem I had (crashing, if i remember right) went away when I switched the loading order of the levels (custom edit first, then the shipped map). If that doesn't work I suggest you copy the entire shipped map over again, add in your invisible cp and spawn path (maybe save the .PTH file before deleting the rest to make it easy to add again) and then delete every non-base layer, and every object, other path, planning, lights, etc. so that they don't overlap. I've tried getting rid of the terrain and sky on my edited map and didn't figure out how to do that without crashing everything, so I'd recommend if file size isn't TOO big just keep them for now and just focus on making your mod
