You find it in the same folder where your addon folder is....

ML_916 · Post by **ML_916** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 4:18 pm

I can´t find it.
so it is supposed to be in the gamedata folder?...it is´nt there..

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 4:33 pm

To be honest, I think that the REQ file is buggered. See here:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "class"
        "rep_inf_officer"
    }
    REQN
    {
	"texture"
	"hud_rep_weap_defense_buff_icon"
    }
    REQN
    {
	"model"
	"hud_rep_defense_buff"
    }
}

Try changing it to this:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "class"
        "rep_inf_ep2_officer"
    }
    REQN
    {
	"texture"
	"hud_rep_weap_defense_buff_icon"
    }
    REQN
    {
	"model"
	"hud_rep_defense_buff"
    }
}

There is no episode 2 officer, this is why.

The episode 2 officers use the same model as the standard clones, just bearing a yellow coloration.

If you want, I can give you an episode 2 commander skin, but it will be wayyy sharper, and will have a black visor, as opposed to the washed out visor and blurry skins that you get with the base game, so it may look out of place

Dabrowski · Post by **Dabrowski** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 6:37 pm

wait PvtParts. Isn't the ep2 officer an arc trooper with a chaingun?

PvtParts · Post by **PvtParts** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 7:14 pm

..damned if i know?

I mean, if he wants it to be..

I assumed he wanted the real episode 2 commander

Oh, and ML_916, the BFront2 log is a log that you get when you run BF2_modtools.exe.

To get this log, go into your BF2_ModTools folder, and copy BF2_modtools.exe into your Star Wars Battlefront 2\Gamedata directory. Once its copied run it (make sure to run it from Gamedata!!). Play your map, and once you finish find a file in the Gamedata folder called BFront2.log. Open it with a text editor like notepad, and paste it here for us to look at.

ML_916 · Post by **ML_916** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 2:42 am

the episode 2-commander I was talking about was the red ARC-trooper from the early version of Teans cloud city...

I´m trying to find the BFront2 log now..

EDIT: I´ve found the Bf2mod tools exe and I´m trying to run it from gamedata, but it just says "please insert CD1" when I try to run it..and I have the DVD in the computer...

I´ve heard it´s impossible for people with the european dvd-version to get a BFront 2 log..is that true or did I screw something up?

Broadus · Post by **Broadus** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 4:31 am

If someone has a red ARC trooper, I'm pretty sure they would have to add it into the game themselves. You can just look in the .lvl containing the red ARC trooper to find the name of it.
I don't think there's an actual guy called "rep_inf_ep2_officer", is there? Or are you adding it in yourself?
I know there's a rep_inf_ep3_commander, but there's no ep2 counterpart, and the blue ARC trooper with a chaingun is named rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer_chaingun.

Seems to me like the SWBF2 creators could have made an "ep2_commander" that was just a purple ARC trooper, since purple is the color of the ep3 commander, and the primary colors are taken by other classes (red sniper, yellow engineer, blue rocketeer, green jet trooper).

ML_916 · Post by **ML_916** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 4:43 am

there is a red ARC-trooper skin in the mod tools assets..I think it´s there to be used..

Darth_Z13 · Post by **Darth_Z13** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 9:06 am

You can't run BF2modtools with the DVD version. However, [RDH]Zerted found a way to get a log file for DVD versions here

Broadus · Post by **Broadus** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 3:27 pm

If there's a red ARC trooper skin, you'll still need to have an actual character with the skin on it.

Darth_Z13 · Post by **Darth_Z13** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 9:57 pm

OK I found your problem. The guy with the chaingun is called rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer_chaingun NOT rep_inf_ep2_officer okay?

ML_916 · Post by **ML_916** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:13 am

aha! but is´nt that the blue rail arc that have no point limit?

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:23 am

Though I can't really go over how to do a new side, I can provide you with my Ep2 Commander fix side. If you need help I'm sure the other folks in the thread can help you get this going.

(anyone is welcome to use this, but it is integrated into the BF1 pack so you know)

Yeah, I said that already.
