Side help

Post by 501st_commander »

I followed the one of the custom side tutorials on [GT] but they won’t show up in the game. All the other edits I made in the ABCc_lua worked but not the side. Can anyone help?

Re: Side help

Post by jedimaster745 »

i would suggest changing the name of your custom side. it doesnt matter what its changed to, but that may be the problem. if you were to change it, you would have to change the folder in your Data_ABC\Sides as well as in Data_ABC\Build\Sides. The .req in your side's folder would also need a name change. Other than that, put the AddUnitClass( blablabla above SetHero Class.
Hidden/Spoiler:
SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")
AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_ep3trooper",1, 25)
to
Hidden/Spoiler:
AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_ep3trooper",1, 25)

SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_darthmaul")
SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_anakin")


and make sure you munge your side when you munge

i think it should look like this:


...
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_hero_anakin",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder")
...

i dont think thats his custom side. from the looks of his .lua, thats the normal rep side, and the other rep side is his custom one.

edit: i think the problem is in your .lua, the custom character is rep_inf_ep3trooper. i think, unless that is how it is defined in the .req, it should be rep_inf_ep3_trooper.

Having both a default and a custom REP side in the same map should not bother the LUA. However, Jedimaster is correct that the unit is rep_in_ep3_tooper, not rep_inf_ep3trooper.

that's the only thing i noticed that maybe an issue. i have only little knowledge about the deeper grounds of modding. perhaps it is not only one factor that is not correct in this lua. but that lays beyond my modding skills.

I did that but it still won’t work.

For more information all I did to make my side is I copied the odfs, mshs, and all that other stuff I needed and replaced the TGA with mine that had the same name.
