How do you add a Custom Vehicle?

ARCTroopaNate · Post by **ARCTroopaNate** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:33 pm

So I have an AT-ST and an Imperial Shuttle in Galactic Civil War and already have a Republic Gunship in Clone Wars so I tried to add the AT-XT from the ConvoPack but it didn't work. I'm in need of help for adding custom vehicles. I have tried SO many things and none of it has worked.

Someone help me please!

Here's my CW lua

Hidden/Spoiler:

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

                             "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",

                             "rep_fly_gunship_sc")

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

                                 "rep_walk_atxt") 

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl", 

                          "imp_walk_atst")

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

                             "cis_inf_marine",

                             "cis_inf_rocketeer")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",      

             "tur_bldg_hoth_lasermortar")

If it's from the conversion pack, you don't need th dc: because you're not loading it from your world's side folder.

Thanks.

Bleh! It's still not working!

Did you raise the walker memory pools for both the atst and atxt?

ARCTroopaNate · Post by **ARCTroopaNate** » Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:08 pm

No. Silly me. Testing now.

EDIT: The AT-ST is not on the map so I don't think it made a difference. Teancun had a trick for putting in the AT-XT by adding the AT-ST in the lua. I don't think it worked.

Routine question, did you make a custom side for the vehicle?

ARCTroopaNate · Post by **ARCTroopaNate** » Fri Jul 01, 2011 1:26 pm

Yep. It's called vehicle. BTW Wulf I can't wait for your Mod to come out!

Well then your Lua that you posted at the top should be fine, its most likely just something wrong with the custom side, go and double check all the odf, and req names so that you can rule out a mistake there.

/Offtopic, thanks

I looked through the AT-XT odf and it says

Hidden/Spoiler:

I don't have that file in my vehicle side.
Does anyone know where I can find that file?

Why not just use the regular explosion ODF for the death animation ODF as well?

ARCTroopaNate · Post by **ARCTroopaNate** » Fri Jul 01, 2011 2:36 pm

Change the odf. Good point AQT

EDIT: It still doesn't work

I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.

Are your vehicle spawns and control regions and their corresponding CP's even set up correctly? Missing explosion ODF's shouldn't stop vehicles from spawning.

ARCTroopaNate · Post by **ARCTroopaNate** » Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:56 am

Yes they are. They work for Galactic Civil War and the work with the Republic Gunship.

I have a couple of suggestions, first, up the memory pools, just try it.
Second, load the at-st BEFORE the at-xt, which one is loaded first can effect alot of stuff.
