how do i edit shiped sides. (changing weapons from one shiped unit to another. etc)

Basic stuff, my friend.

Firstly you should read the Costom Jedi Creation Guide that comes with the modtools, secondly there's already several tutorials about it on this site. You should search for 'em, they probably cover all you want to know. (I think Caleb made the tut I'm thinking about)
Yeah that involves some reading but it's the only way

i have already read calebs tut and failed.
i got this errror

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(866)

and btw i mean the sides that come in the 'tur' sides. i cant seem to find the units in the tur files...

"Tur" stands for "Turrets". The units are in assets/sides/"whateverside youwant". The three-letter names should be self-explanatory. GUN for Gungans, REP for Republic, etc.

but when i go into my sides folder all i see is tur..

they're always included in a new map, I don't know why. If you want to edit the other sides, go to assets/sides. All is rebels, CIS, etc.
EDIT: Fiodis beat me to it.

Fiodis right up above wrote:The units are in assets/sides/"whateverside youwant

but how would i get them into my game?

Follow the tutorials, look over them VERY carefully.

For a start, if you're editing sides, copy over the assets/sides/common folder and the assets/sides/ whateversidesyouwanttoedit to your map's sides folder

ive read everyting i could get my hands on, all sorts of things from the all you need topics. the getting started docs and others from the mod tools...ive even tryed calebs tut twice once for a new unit the other for a shiped side.

thx i hope this will help me

is that all i need to do to edit them and have them ingame? do i copy over the entire rep and common folder>

I got all the information i needed from Jedi Side Creation Tutorial. Look over it really carefully before starting to change stuff. Look at the the last chapter to find out about how to put your side ingame. It's always best to check it works ingame before actually editing anything.

i cant locate my jedi sides tut ive run a search ove rm y entire computer:(

its in the documentation folder, but tutorials here ate gt are a bit easyer..

i already looked there..so i dont have it...but i just found a stack of like 26 pages of it that my bro printed out so i found it )

I suggest you follow the tutorial by looking at the file that comes with it as you go along, jedi side example, which you will need to extract. It made things a lot easier for me!
Do you want to make a jedi side, or just change the clones or something like that?

i want to edit the clones i would normaly get ingame tosuper clones. the only other thing i would do is change the ep.3 part to ep2 for the eng.

You could try having a look through this one. There might be something helpful in there. It looks like the one that has the most info on what you're trying to do.
