What did you do exactly? Post any error logs you may have.

1) Edit the ReadDataFile section of your lua to only read in the units you plan to use.
2) Change the SetupTeams section of your lua to only use the units you want.

If you do what Zerted said, it will work but I think it's worth mentioning that the sounds would be off. You'd have to take some sound lines from a CW script for the CIS side and paste them over your ALL sound lines.

I think.

data***/Common/Scripts/***, then pick ***c_con.LUA or ***g_con.LUA. Con stands for conquest, c and g for the two eras, pick which one you want to modify.

Possibly; there are elements that I don't recognize. What is this "MyTeamConfig = {" code for? Otherwise it looks ok, except for the sounds. Does it work in-game? The MyTeamConfig thing might throw it off.

no it only says setupteams in a ground map. Space maps say myteamconfig

The game is trying to find game files "cis_inf_pilot" & "cis_inf_marine". It is referenced in the .lua file but not loaded in the script.

Edit -- As far as I know, "cis_fly_droidfighter_sc" does not exist in all.lvl either.

"cis_inf_pilot" and "cis_inf_marine" don't exist in all.lvl but rather cis.lvl.

@-_-Yes, cis_fly_droidfighter_sc is the correct name.
You'd set up the LUA like this:
Hidden/Spoiler:
--
-- Copyright (c) 2005 Pandemic Studios, LLC. All rights reserved.
-- SPA9 - Naboo
-- Common script that shares all setup information
--

ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams")

-- Republic Attacking (attacker is always #1)
ALL = 1
IMP = 2
-- These variables do not change
ATT = 1
DEF = 2

function SetupUnits()

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_inf_pilot",
"cis_inf_marine",
"cis_fly_droidfighter_sc")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_fly_xwing_sc",
"all_fly_ywing_sc",
"all_fly_awing",
"all_fly_gunship_sc",
"all_veh_remote_terminal")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_inf_pilot",
"imp_inf_marine",
"imp_fly_tiefighter_sc",
"imp_fly_tiebomber_sc",
"imp_fly_tieinterceptor",
"imp_fly_trooptrans",
"imp_veh_remote_terminal")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",
"tur_bldg_spa_all_beam",
"tur_bldg_spa_all_recoilless",
"tur_bldg_spa_all_chaingun",
"tur_bldg_spa_imp_beam",
"tur_bldg_spa_imp_recoilless",
"tur_bldg_spa_imp_chaingun",
"tur_bldg_chaingun_roof"
)
end

myTeamConfig = {
all = {
team = ALL,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
pilot = { "cis_inf_pilot",26},
marine = { "cis_inf_marine",6},
},
imp = {
team = IMP,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
pilot = { "imp_inf_pilot",26},
marine = { "imp_inf_marine",6},
}
}
Also, you'd have to edit the vehicle spawns in the map to read cis_fly_droidfighter_sc instead of the xwing/whatever.
Hidden/Spoiler:
note about sides-
sides .lvl files contain everything in the side, units, vehicles, etc. You just have to read these like
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_rifleman",
"rep_inf_engineer)
in the LUA, then set the teams up down below with the correct units. You HAVE to read the unit from the correct side file in order to use it. [/end tip]
