So, I'm trying to set up some locals in my map (ewoks, to be exact). I've followed the tutorial by Kateana step by step, but when I load the map, no command posts appear, and I can't spawn in. I double and triple checked my lua, but I just can't find what I've done wrong. Here's my lua:

-- load the gametype script

ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveConquest")

ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams") 

	--  REP Attacking (attacker is always #1)

    REP = 1;

    CIS = 2;

    LocalTeam = 3;

    --  These variables do not change

    ATT = REP;

    DEF = CIS;

function ScriptPostLoad()	   

    --This defines the CPs.  These need to happen first

    cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}

    cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}

    cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}

    cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}

    cp5 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}

    cp6 = CommandPost:New{name = "Local_CP"}

    --This sets up the actual objective.  This needs to happen after cp's are defined

    conquest = ObjectiveConquest:New{teamATT = ATT, teamDEF = DEF, 

                                     textATT = "game.modes.con", 

                                     textDEF = "game.modes.con2",

                                     multiplayerRules = true}

    --This adds the CPs to the objective.  This needs to happen after the objective is set up

    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp1)

    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp2)

    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp3)

    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4)

In my experience, having no command posts usually indicates a problem with the .lvl file. As for your LUA, a couple things:

Code: Select all

-- REP Attacking (attacker is always #1)
REP = 1;
CIS = 2;
LocalTeam = 3;
-- These variables do not change
ATT = [b]REP[/b];
DEF = [b]CIS[/b];

My only experience with bf2 modding lies in space battles, but for bf1 at least the REP and CIS are normally 1 and 2. After checking a stock bf2 LUA, it is the same for bf2. So I'd start by changing REP and CIS to 1 and 2 for ATT and DEF.
Also, the "LocalTeam = 3;" part doesn't seem to be necessary, based on stock LUA's. I'd try removing that as well, see what happens.

Secondly, this:

Code: Select all

--This defines the CPs. These need to happen first
cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}
cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}
cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}
cp5 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}
[b]cp6 = CommandPost:New{name = "Local_CP"}[/b]

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp1)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp2)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp3)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp5)

Notice how the bolded line is missing from the second section. That may also be causing a problem.

Otherwise, it seems your LUA is fine. Hope this helps!

Posted: **Sun Dec 31, 2017 8:57 pm**

I tried what you suggested, and nothing has changed. Any other ideas?

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 7:28 pm**

You forgot to add this in your .lua

conquest:AddCommandPost(Local_CP)

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 8:54 pm**

LitFam wrote:You forgot to add this in your .lua

conquest:AddCommandPost(Local_CP)

Close. It would have to be `conquest:AddCommandPost(cp6)` - the value inside the parentheses is a variable, which in this case is `cp6`.

Neither of these solutions changed anything.

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2018 5:52 pm**

Upon further inspection, this also stood out to me:

Code: Select all

 --ReadDataFile("dc:ABC\\ABC.lvl", "ABC_conquest")
    ReadDataFile("dc:ABC\\ABC.lvl", "ABC_conquest")

Is your 3 letter date folder called ABC? The only reason I ask is because most people do a more unique 3 letter name, and ABC is used often in tutorials so sometimes people to forget to change it after doing said tutorials.

Posted: **Mon Jan 08, 2018 12:44 pm**

Yeah, I just made it ABC. This is my first map (just for myself), and I didn't really care enough to think of a creative name, lol.

Posted: **Mon Jan 08, 2018 7:37 pm**

Code: Select all

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")

Another thing. Did you create a custom Republic side? If not, the dc: part doesn't need to be there.

It should be:

Code: Select all

    AddAIGoal(3, "Deathmatch", 100)

Also, you don't need to add the local CP to the list of CPs, unless it needs to be captured as well in order for the countdown timer to appear.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:22 am**

I fixed the typo you pointed out, AQT, and I can now spawn into the map, and everything seems normal, except no ewoks are showing up.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:37 am**

Is the locals CP's team set to 3?

Also, have you checked the debug log for any relevant information?

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:49 am**

Yes it is. And there's a slight problem there. When I run the debug battlefront, no debug log ever appears.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:50 am**

See question #4: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13806

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:56 am**

I use to get the CD 1 error thing, so I use the modified version referenced at the bottom, which I have placed in the same folder as my BattlefrontII.exe. It works fine, but whenever I close it no debug log appears.

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:57 am**

Again, see question #4 - particularly the note to Vista users (applies to 7/8/8.1/10/etc. too).

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 12:07 pm**

Okay, I found the debug log, thanks for the help. Here's some stuff that seemed relevant. I figured I'd post it here since I'm not familiar working with the debug log, lol.

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 3

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 2:15 pm**

I don't have the source files to check at the moment, but is the unit really called ewk_inf_trooper? Double check the stock Endor lua files to be sure.

EDIT
Ah, you can't just load ewk_inf_trooper like that. It has to be done like this: viewtopic.php?p=246463#p246463

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 2:43 pm**

I checked the stock Endor lua files and they do indeed reference an "ewk_inf_trooper".

Posted: **Wed Jan 10, 2018 3:03 pm**

Again: viewtopic.php?p=246463#p246463

You have:

It should be:

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile ("SIDE\\ewk.lvl",
             "ewk_inf_basic")

While ewk_inf_trooper can be used as a unit class, you actually load ewk_inf_basic instead, which contains all three stock Ewok classes.
