When i edit a vehicle odf in the SIDES folder, to increase/decrease a vehicles speed, it has no effect upon my maps gameplay.

The SIDE im editing is in my data_XXX/SIDES folder.

any suggestions would be hot

i assume you are using the 'dc:' in your LUA. also, which vehicle are you tring to change

fightertanks, for both eras

My LUA

Did you put DC: in your readdatafile w/in your LUA?

can you give me an example i think i know what you mean is it something like

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",


^i guess that reads the data file in data_XXX rather than assets?


EDIT tried it and the game crashed after the loading screen, did i do it right?

-OFF TOPIC- also i cant get a light enough terrain for my geonosis map, i'm looking for something like the shipped geo worlds terrain,

but ever since i burnt the terrain it has been too dark

You also need the assets\sides\Common folder in your side folder.

where do i get the common folder from,


oh never mind lol i must be high

I was trying the same thing, exept that I wanted to adjust the speederbikes speed. I followed the custom jedi tutorial(for making new sides), but evertime I munge, this apears:

ERROR[levelpack mission\UTMg_con.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\utmg_con.script.req(1)...

ucft <--
ERROR[levelpack mission\UTMg_con.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\utmg_con.script.req(1)...

ucft <--

2 Errors 0 Warnings


I am wondering what I am doing wrong now.



EDIT: in the proces of fixing...well... I ...ehm, managed to let it get worse, stupid me, now when I try to play the map on gcw, the game crashes before loading and displays this in a shiney FATAL! screen..
Could not open MISSION\UTMg_con.lvl
