Some Mod Tools questions !

Hello modders and mappers, here is Indytotof.

This topic is about some questions about the marvelous Mod Tool that greatly helped me.

I've already saw that there is the Bespin script, the two Rhen Var maps' script and Yavin 4 Arena scripts in the assets folder and a world file for Yavin 4 Arena. When checked them, I saw this: "dlc_hero_ventress" and "dlc_hero_fisto" but there is no dlc.lvl in any of the side folders of the Mod Tool to be seen. Yes I know this heroes have been released as kit.lvl and asj.lvl, but I wonder why the XBOX DLC contents do here, on a Mod Tool for the PC version of the game.

So my question is: There is an utility to all of these scripts from the DLC and there is a link with the "DLC" mod released with my personnal favorite mod: the +123 mod (I asked these because the DLC maps from the +123 mods have the same names (bes1, rhn1, rhn2 and yav2) as the original ones on the asset folder) ?

Speaking of that, I've actually using Asajj Ventress on some maps (Felucia and Yavin 4, General Grievous will replace her on Kashyyyk, like on Star Wars Battlefront 2 Extreme mod) but her name and here weapons name doesn't appears (she is fully playable thought) and I think to make her as a custom side level file. My question is: Did I have to do something with the addme.lua or something ? If yes, what exactly ?

Thanks for you help.

The XBox DLC Heroes (kit and asajj) never made it to the final release, and their source was taken out. Mav and Teancum contacted the developers and managed to get a munged version of each unit, but no source. You can download them here: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=16944

I've already download them and use Asajj on two maps.

So, there is no use for the DLC maps from the Mod Tools ?

I'm about to use the asj.lvl as a custom side but, have I to do something with the addme.lua ?

Because a variation of these tools were used to develop the game for the consoles. Keep in mind that not all of the assets and files that went into making the original final version of the game (including but not limited to the 1.1. patch and Xbox DLC) were released with the mod tools.

Loading units is done through the mission lua files, so no.

OK thanks.

Last question: I want to make my mod's (called TES (for test)) name don't appear on the selection map screen, as the +123 mod do. Did I must edit my addme.lua to do so ?
