New jedi not working

fiddler_on_the_roof · Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:44 pm

So I've been working on a custom jedi, and I beleive that I have done everything correctly.
I made a new side, clonejedi, and I have a munged folder
inside the munged folder,

Code: Select all

aayla's anims, 
humansabre anims

I have a req folder, with my trooper req.

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "class"
        "clonejedi_inf_ep3_cloneaayla"
    }
}

I have a msh folder.

Code: Select all

imp_inf_weap_lightsaber
reversed_hilt
rep_inf_trooper_low1
rep_inf_trooper_low1.msh.option
rep_inf_trooper
rep_inf_trooper.msh.option

In the munged folder there is a PC folder.
contents.

Code: Select all

rep_inf_trooper
rep_inf_trooper.tga.option

I have a odf folder.

Code: Select all

clonejedi_inf_ep3_clonaayla

here is the clonejedi_inf_ep3_cloneaayla.odf, and then the rep_inf_default_rifleman

I also have the proper effects, and I added the unit to the lua, and it doesn't work

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\clonejedi.lvl",
                             "clonejedi_inf_ep3_cloneaayla")
some stuff
        AddUnitClass(REP, "clonejedi_inf_ep3_cloneaayla",1,4)

the problem is the unit dosn't show up in the game. what do I need to do?

Does this side have a .req file? (based on the information you provided)

fiddler_on_the_roof · Post by **fiddler_on_the_roof** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 4:35 pm

Yes, it does, here it is.

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "lvl"
        clonejedi_inf_ep3_cloneaayla
    }
}

Did you create a folder in _BUILD\sides named clonejedi? Does your new clonejedi folder include a munge.bat copied from the All folder?

All side REQs I've seen have quotes around the unit's name, but that might not matter.

Ok, you are right about the req, I totally didn't see that, thanks Fiodis.

Ace, I changed the munged and clean.bat to from the ALL folder.

Thanks

Ok, I cheched and I did everything correctly, but it still doesn't work, I munge the clonejedi side, specifically, and there still is no .lvl file!!

Please Help!!

Can you post your munge log?

fiddler_on_the_roof · Post by **fiddler_on_the_roof** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:14 pm

I Think I found what is wrong, munging...

I found the error, and it munged, but now when I try to spawn as the unit, the game crashes. also, it showed the character with the blasterrifle. How do I fix this?

Thanks!!!

EDIT
So I got my unit onto my map, and if I'm fast enough, I can see the unit, and the weapons it has before the map crashes. I've been looking through everything and I seemed to have done everything right, but it still crashes.

Please help, and if you need files, just let me know.

thanks

I merged your new topic with your original one, it's best to keep it all in the same topic.
And we need more information from you regarding the crash before we can begin to help(e.g. logs, errors, etc)

fiddler_on_the_roof · Post by **fiddler_on_the_roof** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 9:04 pm

Please help!!!!!

In my munge log, there is nothing pertaining to the clonejedi, and I can't get to the error log because I don't use the disk when I play.

Any ideas?

thanks

BTW- I tried to create a normal unit(a unit just with a gun) but the game still craches. I looked through the tutorial thoroughly, but can't find what needs to be done, or what I am doing wrong!

Your odfs aren't linked together. Make one odf, not two, and put this in for it. Should do the trick.

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent         = "com_jedi_default"

AISizeType          = "HOVER"

GeometryLowRes      = "rep_inf_trooper_low1"

AnimationName       = "aalya"

//JetJump

JetJump             = "10.0"    //The initial jump-push given when enabling the jet
JetPush             = "0.0"     //The constant push given while the jet is enabled (20 is gravity)
JetAcceleration     = "10.0"    // for characters with jet jump, use this acceleration for in air control
JetEffect           = ""
JetFuelRechargeRate = "0.0" //Additional fuel per second (fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelCost         = "0.0" //Cost per second when hovering (only used for jet-hovers)(fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelInitialCost  = "0.0" //4initial cost when jet jumping(fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelMinBorder    = "0.0" //minimum fuel to perform a jet jump(fuel is 0 to 1)
JetShowHud          = 0
JetEnergyDrain      = 40.0
CollisionScale      = "0.0 0.0 0.0" // don't take damage from collisions

///JetJumpEnd

Ok, I fixed that, and the game doesn't crash until I try to spawn as the unit. Also, the unit still has clone anims, and looks like he is holding a rifle, and there are no sabers.
BTW- I created another unit that works fine, and doesn't make the map crash, but it is just a droid with a gun.
OFF-TOPIC(kind-of)I want to get a jetpack on the droid, but not the clone or imp jetpck, I want the droids backpack to be the jetpack. Is there any way I can do this. I mean that I want there to be no jetpack on its back, just the normal backpack it comes with.

thanks

Master_Ben · Post by **Master_Ben** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 8:34 pm

For the jet pack thing you would probably have to add a hardpoint to create a jet effect, then copy some code from the jettrooper odf about flying.
