My game's crashing. I replaced the REP.lvl with MY rep.lvl. (LOTS OF PICS AHEAD!!)

Here's my LUA:

  SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Deflect",100)     -- should be ~1x #combo  
    
    ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")
    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_officer",
                             "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper2",
                             "rep_hero_anakin")
    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
                             "cis_inf_rifleman",
                             "cis_inf_rocketeer",
                             "cis_inf_engineer",
                             "cis_inf_sniper",
                             "cis_inf_officer",
                             "cis_inf_droideka",

Here's some pics:

(PLEASE LOOK AT THESE CAREFULLY!!)

My odf files:

part of my jettrooper2.odf

My msh files:

My jettrooper2 msh:

My Sides\rep\repshell file:

Is this where you place the .lvl files?

Please look over these carefull and tell me if you see anything wrong. If you need anything eles I will gladly get more specific pics.

You shouldn't have edited the .msh unless you really know how to. That may be the problem. You need a hex editor like UltraEdit32. Also, when hex editing, never add or remove the number of characters. You added a "2" instead of replacing a character and making it, say...REP_EP3JetTroope2. By the way, I just noticed, you shouldn't have edited that line at all. That isn't a .tga line at all!! THAT is what is most probably crashing it!!

So which line do I need to edit? *gets excited*

Please look at my msh folder:

1) do I need these files?

2) do I need to change them in any way?

Post by **PR-0927** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 7:43 pm

Wow man, you messed that stuff up.

The .msh files should also contain the same number of characters. Try rep_inf_ep3jettroope2 for the .msh and its option file (and the low resolution ones). The .tga names should be rep_inf_ep3_jettroope2.tga and rep_inf_ep3jettroope2jetpack.tga. You will have to remove those .msh files (all of them for this model) and recopy them from the assets. Then, rename them as I have detailed. If you hex edit them, which I assume you will, find the .tga lines and edit their names to match your .tga file names (keeping in mind that the character amount must remain the same).

Load up everything, and it WILL work, considering that you do EVERYTHING correctly.

What is hexedit anyway? I've never ever known what that was.

Anyway, I'll try that then post my results here.

PS, that last line is a little confusing but I think I can get it

it crashed. I'll make some more pics if you need?

fat_walrus · Post by **fat_walrus** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:30 pm

Why don't you take a look at these things:

My MSH folder

My Trooper MSHs (there is one not included but its like really down far, but kinda the same)

Here's the low thing

My odfs

My repshell.req (please look at this one)

And last but not least my LUA:

Code: Select all

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("ClothData",20)
    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo",50)              -- should be ~ 2x number of jedi classes

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Transition",650) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Condition",650)  -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Attack",550)     -- should be ~8-12x #Combo

Figured it out. Change my LUA a bit, and added a Common folder to the Sides and munged. FINALLY AFTER 2 DAYS OF LABOR!! >.<

Just one question, why did you modify the .msh files? All you needed to do was edit the .odf files, nothing else, and if your just copying over the rep.lvl and the repshell.lvl and then running a game on any shipped map, then the changes to the lua will do nothing.

fat_walrus · Post by **fat_walrus** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 7:21 pm

I am not a serious game modder, I'm a serious-game-modder in training =P. I don't know much about mshs or hexediting(whatever that is) so that's why I thought I needed to edit the msh files.

I didn't end up copying the rep.lvl and repshell.lvl, I ended up just loading ("dc:SIDE\\rep") as a seperate side. Now I am experimenting with giving my unit a lightsabre
