you need to create a custom side for them.

Read the jedi docs, if you have, scim over them again becouse its the same prinicible with vehicles.

for adding custom vehicles to a map

to make them useable to you have make a vehiclespawn in ZE and give it the vehicles .req name and in the lua make it call the .req name

talking about my memory again, if I recall right they have all the files neededmaybe even in the folders. What you have to do is create a local side for your map and put the assets in there.

Try this for example:
If you are going tobe using an edited republi, copy the folders with the files you would be changeing from the main mod tools' assets >sides> rep folder. Then take the files you downloadedfor the AT-XT and place them in their respective folder (ODF, MSH, req, possibly effects). Now, the rep.req you will have to open with notepad and you will see a list of units. These are actualy file sin the req folder which it will relay to the .lua so you have to hit enter somewhere to make a space in the list and add in a line(exactly the same as the other ones) with rep_walk_atxt of whatever the req name was. Save it. Then go to the common> scripts> modname folder of your project and open the respective lua file(again with notepad).

Where it has this stuff
ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2gcw")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_officer",
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat")

Again make a space and add in the same line you put in the rep.req

ReadDataFile("sound\\tat.lvl;tat2gcw")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_officer",
"OMG_WTF_ROFFLECOPTERS"
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat")


Then it's set up and you just have to make room in the memory pools, place the spawn module in zeroedit, fill out the proper values...
