ok so i thought i figured out how to add custom vehicles. i downloaded the atxt and light combat speeder and put their files in C:/bfbuilder/assets/sides so then i go to the clone war lua and put

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\atxt_beta",
"rep_walk_atxt");

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\light_attack_speeder",
"com_hover_light_attack_speeder");
then i go into the game add the spawn point and all that junk and launch sptest.
the map won't even load it crashes both the sptest and actual game please help
heres my full lua for refrance

The first thing that comes to mind is that custom sides (not in the original game) must be summoned with dc:SIDES.

Also, large amounts of units may cause the game to crash, so maybe reducing the numbers to the default levels will help. On a similar note, the numbers of units seem much higher than the unit count and the poor droidekas only have 20 allocated for them, when they number 100.

It's the only things I can think of right now. Happy error hunting.

i did what you told me too. i switched the dc:SIDE to dc:SIDES and i also decresed the number of troops for each team to 16 as fix their numbers in the lua but this is kind of how my attempts have ended so far basicly it crashes at the loading screen and im ticked and confused

Sorry, but you misunderstood. The dc:SIDE was fine. However, the sides provided by psych0fred are not native to the game. I am simply saying they should have the dc: part. Do you have a BFront log, or are you getting nothing at all from it?

i was getting nothing at all andi think i included the dc: part like i sayed it crashes at the loading screen so i just got a new lua and am gonna try again

EDIT: i got it to stop crashing by redoing the lua but now it says "vehicle spawn missing class" for all of the custom vehicles.

Did the custom sides munge? I was wondering if that could cause a crash earlier, but perhaps it just results in missing classes.

idk how do i check if it munged? also i think i mite just be putting it in incorrectly so could you please tell me exactly what to do with the downloaded files?

To figure out if the Sides munged, go to the map folder, data, lvl_pc, and side. If you do not see the side that you are trying to summon units from, then it probably didn't munge. For example, AddOn\Tat3\Data\lvl_pc\Side has the GAM (gammoreans).

As far as compiling (munging, whatever) the sides, it depends on what you are using. If you are using BFBuilder Pro, then you might get away with telling it to create a new side with the name you already have. Then it's simply a matter of copy and paste. The regular BFBuilder will probably require you to edit the .bats in order for the munge to find the folders (done it before, not fun) or to munge it yourself and move files around (slow, but works).

lol i think i just found my problem. the sides folder in the munged version doesn't even exist!
please tell me how to custom munge
