UT-AT troubles [Solved]
I've been having problems putting the UT-AT vehicle in my map. I believe I've done everything correctly, but the vehicle won't show up ingame. I used an existing vehicle spawn that was working, so it isn't a misspelled name. I downloaded the source files here at gametoast, and in the .zip it had four folders: msh, odf, sound, and effects. I put these all in my rep sides folder. is there anything else i should do?

Re: UT-AT troubles
You could also change it into a normal hover vehicle. Open up the UT-AT's ODF and change the class. Look at some other normal hover vehicle for reference.JediJalepinio wrote:no, i didn't really want it to be a command vehicle, but if thats how i fix it, how do i go about doing that?

Re: UT-AT troubles
ok, so ive changed my .odf to
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "hover"
GeometryName = "rep_hover_utat.msh"
and my lua to
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
"rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder",
"rep_hover_utat")
but it still won't show up ingame, any other ideas?

Re: UT-AT troubles
In your .lua after the SetupTeams section, there is a section with a list of SetMemoryPoolSize lines. Insert the line SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityHover", x) into the list where

Re: UT-AT troubles
you don't need to add the entity hover lines the game has that done already post your BF2 error log
If you don't know what or how to get that here is how
Question - I have the CD version of SWBF2 and I get a binkw32.dll error when trying to launch the BF2_modtools.exe, what's wrong?
Answer - Copy the BF2_modtools.exe from the main BF2_modtools folder and paste it in the same folder as your battlefront2.exe, usually:
\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData
then you can launch BF2_modtools.exe and play your map to get a BFront2.log located in that same folder.
If you have the DVD version check THIS LINK for a DVD version of BF2_modtools.exe
Note to Vista users:
If you can't find your BFront2.log it may be saved to this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData

Re: UT-AT troubles
You also have to make sure that there is a reference to the .req file you just made in the rep.req file as well. Plus you need to have the rep folder in your data_xxx/_build/sides/ folder.
The way to confirm all is being munged correctly is to go the game folder and look in the addon directory for you map folder and find out if there is a rep.lvl in the sides folder. This needs to be there before we can figure out any other reason for it not spawning.
Ya AQT you beat me to it but I ain't deleting

Re: UT-AT troubles
ok, i added it to the rep.req and i checked out my SIDES folder in the addon folder, there is a rep.lvl and a repshell.lvl. But now it crashes to desktop in the middle of the maps loading. Just because it helped before, I included the BFront2.log below
Pretty sure this wasn't supposed to happen, but I really don't know what set it off. THanks for all your help.

Re: UT-AT troubles
Here's your problem.
To fix it, you can either copy the AT-TE chunk mshs from the default rep side to your side's msh folder, or remove references to chunks in your UT-AT's odf. I'd recommend the former.
Code: Select all
Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityGeometry.cpp(666)
Entity "rep_hover_utat" missing chunk geometry "rep_walk_atte_chunk1"-

Re: UT-AT troubles
Success! 
After adding all the mentioned .msh files in the UT-AT's .odf, the game returned to normal and the utat shows up in game, Thanks for all your help!
