Hello GT,

I've succesfuly added my own era to my map, but I can't manage to get it on all the stocks customs maps:
For exemple I want it on 4 stock custom maps such as Felucia, coruscant, mustafar and the death star. I don't know if the following steps are good but I renamed stocks scripts and i added them to the mission.req:
and to the ingame file:
Many thanks for the help

Also I didn't understand how to localize the era's name...

Have you called it in the Addme file?

Coruscant, for example: You have the scripts, your mission.req looks good, but don't forget the Addme.

That should be:

It works fine for me as "COR", but I'll edit it anyway.

Unfortunately, there is something wrong because the era is playable only on the main map.

Here is the addme.lua: All the scripts are good, I have all the .req for each script the mission.req is fine but there is still a problem...

Anyways thanks for the hep guys

It's the wrong addme. Take the one from 1.3

Here is my Addme as a reference:

Whaoo...

Where did you find this? I can't find someting corresponding to the addme.lua in the V.1.3 patch...

Thanks Anakin! It will be very helpful...

i think it was somewhere in the 1.3 docs

But here it is, too: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php? ... 6&p=287596

Change your addme lua. RED51 explains how to do it in this link.

and "this link" is this link XD

But don't feel silly because you didn't found it, i asked for it, too and Zerted (? maybe it was aqt, or darthduck, or some of the other modding gurus) told me how to do

Unfortunately the 1.3 docs were a way more simple to me...I didn't understand the tutorial with sky and red..

Also, any idea where the custom icon should go? What is the best format for the texture? png? Maybe jpg? I have no idea...

actually everything in BF is tga and goes to a lvl file.

your custom lvl needs to contain something like this It's always the same: ucft for begin file, reqn for a new group, first line tells what kind of file you have (texture in this example) followed by a list of file names.

You can use the shell lvl or my custom LVL munge tool to generate this file.
If you are done, add it the way i did it in the addme file

Thanks, but in wich folder?

I've put my custom icon in data_***/Common/interface and it dosen't work
data_***/Common/mshs and it dosen't work

Hope I'm not bothering you...

It depends on the way you are going to munge the lvl.

Shell: I cannot find the link at the moment. Everything goes to C:\BF2_ModTools\data_XXX\shell. Next you munge the shell lvl and rename it to what ever you want

CustomLVL:
viewtopic.php?f=64&t=30995
there is a detailed readme about how to use. Simplified:
0) install the tool (simply copy paste some files)
1) choose a name and add a req file in the CustomLVL folder with that name ("my_cool_LVL.req")
2) add what ever you want to that req file.
3) put the files in the depending folder (scripts, textures,...) i think it doesn't matter what name the folders have.
4) run the exe, it shows you all files (.req) in the folder, choose what you wanna munge and klick munge
5) optional you can add .option files, that way you needn't copy the files where you need them.
