i'm highlighting stuff about the locals in red

For some reason, it did not read the soldier, post the LUA.

you know Hebes, you could've just said to him "it's called gen_inf_geonosian, not geo_inf_geonosian." Instead of guiding him through the whole long process.

ok i changed the script so that the things said gen_inf_geonosian. Then i went to BF2modtools\assets\sides and there was a folder called "geo" which contained the files about the geonosians. So i copied that and pasted it into my \data_***\sides folder and munged. Although the local side still didn't work.In the BFront2.log the 2 level 3 severity things were gone, now it just says i'm missing the req file in my sides folder. What should i do?

I believe this should be your req: And the filename should be gen_inf_geonosian unless your unit's name is something eles

One really tricky thing with genosians is this.

-Req is named gen_inf_geonosian
-actual unit odf is called geo_inf_geonosian

Get my point there? So make sure you have them right.

ok So what folder should i have the req and odf files in? And in the scripts should i use the odf name or req name?

you would call the req when the side is loaded up in the lua, then use the odf name in the unit slot.

awesome it finally worked thank you so when i make a custom side do i always use the odf name for unitclass and req name for side? thank you so much

yes. but what most modders tend to do is to name the req and odf the same to avoid confusion.

Is this right? When I get into the game noone spawns except myself......

The localization part of this tutorial isn't working for me. Here's a shot of my screen:




Everything looks to be in order but after I munge Localize and play it still says I killed [NULL].

did you read this?

now that that is down, click on the drop down menu below the box and select the next language, which shoudl be french, type jawa in the box again and then select a new language in the box, keep and doing this untill you've done every single language,

NOTE: it is VERY important that when your typing the name, that you do it in every language, other wise for people with different version of the game ((example, australians)) even though we speak english, it will still come up as [NULL] for us becouse there are two version of english in SWBF II, theres English, and UK English.

you have to enter the name Jawa into all the languages, other wise the name will noyl show up the versions of the game that have that language

Yeah, I read that part Penguin. I haven't gotten around to the other languages yet as my version of the game is US English and Im still just testing and not playing with anybody from other countrys yet and didn't think it would be an issue. I'll add them right now if you think it will make it work.



Edit:It worked, but not becuase of that. I figured out the reason it worked is because where as before I was only munging Localize this time I munged Common and that did it.

Terribly sorry to bump such an old thread, but I've tried this 3 times unsuccessfully, and I need help. I followed the tutorial exactly. Here is my LUA: Any Clues?

That won't do anything, since he calls it later in the .lua anyway. Plus, it works the original way.

And @ Snork: Not to question the obvious, but did you remember to create a com_inv_controlzone, and give it a spawn path?

Course man, I'm not a COMPLETE idiot!

(Questionable)






I think it might have to do with the acklays. Acklays are always glitchy. I'm gonna try using Jango fett just to test it.

Then check yourself by switching the local team from one of acklays to one of one of your units that you know go ingame. If that also doesn't work, then you might have an error in ZE; just doublecheck. If it's not that, then there's probably some stipulation about the hero assault mode not having locals.
