So I downloaded MandeRek's heroes (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 64&t=22766), and am trying to put them in my own map (or :plokoon:, anway, i love electric judgement), but how do I do that? I copied all the files from the DL into my assets folder, and changed the Rep hero to PK in the .lua, but he doesn't load in game.

I copied the effects, msh, odf, req, munged and changed the rep.req...what else do I need to do?

Also, can I put the royal guard in for the imps?

As i said before, post up your lua's and error log if you want us to help you. Without them, its pretty hard to tell what's wrong...

O right, I meant to do that.

clone wars lua: gcw lua: Error Log:

First of all, thats your munge log, second, you have "w w" after the rep inf pilot line, which is kinda weird/will make it not work. Thirdly, you need to put masterkoon in another rep.lvl with a dc: at the start.

So it should look like this:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE//rep.lvl",
"rep_hero_masterkoon")

If you're making a custom unit, you always need to put it in a side with dc: at the start. If your sides 3 letter name isn't rep, change rep.lvl to whatever your sidename is.

I fixed "w w" right after copying.
Now it won't even play CW Conquest in IA. I think it tells me why in my munge log, but I don't know how to read it.

EDIT: Fixed a little thing in GCW lua, and now it doesn't work either

Do you know how to generate an error log?

Go to c:/ProgramFiles/Lucasarts/Starwarsbattlefront2/gamedata folder and copy the bf2_modtools.exe there. Then run it and open your map. When it crashes look in this folder for an error log, called swbf2.log, i think. Can't remember.....

Post that file, and we'll know where your problem is.....

I'm guessing that you didn't set up your side properly, though. Did you remember to munge the side after you'd made it, and also did you munge the common side folder?

\\ or // after SIDE?

It asks for the CD, which is odd, since BF doesn't (I run in Safe Mode, non Safe Mode won't work, idk why).

Here's my CW lua: I followed the packaged Jedi Creation tutorial for the Sides.
Here's my layout:

data_VLH > Sides > rep >
effects
msh
mungd
odf
req
rep.req

I've munged just rep+Common and I've munged everything. (I use Fake Console to unlock the hero-which works for CIS, so that's not the problem.

Thanks all!

\\ (local file) // (interent file)

use \\


It asks because it needs it... If you dont want to use it the download the dvd version (look in faq).

I figured out the problem, I had an extra folder in my Worlds directory, and it munged it instead. I munged properly but now :plokoon: has no name, and all his weapon's names are those like wear_force_push sort of thing. how do I fix that?

Localize them.

Where's the localize tool he mentions?

You initiate the tool by double-clicking on the batch file called editlocalize, located in your data_*** folder.

Got him fully localized.

Thanks a lot guys, this is one of the helpfullest forums I've joined.
I'll post a WIP as soon as I get my turrets loaded and stuff pathed.
