Lua and error log, please.

If you think, this is spam, then delete it. (to admins)
Did you put the dc: in all maps?

I meant the dc: in the ***.lua
Yes I think odfs could help...
Errorlog is if you run the thing with the green quare. When it crashs, you open the BFront2 and post it here.

This is where you put the dc:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\41st.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep2_officer",
"rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep2_officer_rocketeer",
"rep_hero_luminara")
That's an example of a mod i'm making.

A few questions & answers
1. Just because I´m curiouse :
Why is the unit type special?
2. Are you sure that you have all the files from these weapons in the right folder of your side?
With the other odf, too. I´m to 90% sure that you don´t have all the weapon files in the right folders.

In your .lua, you will see where it loads you units. and the five unit classes are; Soilder, Rocketeer, Sniper, Engineer, Special, and (jettrooper, droideka wookie, etc.)

No, and no. -_- UnitType is not related at all to the lua "classes". What you see in the lua are just placeholders defined in setup_teams.lua, and they only really affect metagames, where you can buy a class. The UnitType parameter actually determines what set of AI behaviors the game will use for a unit.
He's probably asking why the UnitType is set to special, and I'm curious myself, since I cannot find any unit odf that uses "special". I've only ever seen trooper, pilot, support, assault, and scout. Based on that, I'm thinking it's an invalid value.

hmm i dident change the unit class thing btw these are the bfx assests with 9 units per side and other units use the dart rifle and incinerator and work fine i copyed and pasted the odfs mshs and effects requiered for the wepons 2 so idk i will try changing the invisabilit to stealth cuz when that unit dose show up it uses the stealth properties i will try putting the other wepons in units that work and c if they still work
edit i put an older version of the units when they worked but they still dident show up any ideas???
