Localization[still doesn't work]

I have an animset in data_***/Animations/SoldierAnimationBank/187th and I have the munge.bat, but when I click the munge.bat, for it to munge, nothing appears in my side's MUNGED folder.
NOTE, In my munge.bat, this is what I have
Code: Select all
@call ..\munge_animation.bat "/keepframe0 /dest 187th.zaf" Sides\187th
Yet still when I try to munge the anims, nothing appears in the munged folder.
It worked once, and I haven't been able to get it to work again.
Localization--- I used the localize tool to try and name some of the units on my map, but when I munge, it comes up with an munge log that says
Code: Select all

The units are not localized, and I saved. I checked over it, and I am pretty sure that I did everything correctly.
I could be missing something though.
thanks

for anims look at scaling up animations in FAQ it explains how to munge em. it helped me get the double pistols to work.

your doing the double pistols too right? well to get it to work you need to change the animations to fett (thats what i used anyway) it has to be an existing animationset name so my animation .mshs looked like fett_pistol_*** and in the unit odf his aniimation was "fett" and the pistol odf had animation of "pistol"
so change that and make ur munge.bat
Code: Select all
@call ..\munge_animation.bat "/keepframe0 /dest fett.zaf" Sides\187th
and i just used fetts basepose

Ok, using fett worked!
Any ideas on the localize problem?

idk have you tried a manual clean and remunge? idk if that would help but you could see what happened... also did you follow a tut or what? what did you do to localize? explain a little more. My first time i took forever to figure it out
you have it set like
entity> *** (side)>*** (unit)
right?
ex: rep_inf_arct
would go entity>rep>inf_arct

That is what I did. Here is a picture of my editlocalize. Sorry for the bad quality.
BTW, the animaitons worked! Just the guy has one pistol.

add
Code: Select all
AnimatedAddon = "left_gun"
GeometryAddon = " " // the left pistols .msh name
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_L_hand"
to units .odf
and make sure to put the correct left pistol .msh name
and make sure its in msh folder
So for localizing it looks fine but did you do the clean?
oh yeah you can add a scope for inf instead of having inf_*** for every unit

yeah, for the unit I have
Code: Select all
WEAPONSECTION = 1
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_dcpistol"
WeaponAmmo = 0
AnimatedAddon = "left_gun"
GeometryAddon = "weap_inf_dc17pistol_l" // the left pistols meshname
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_L_hand"
WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_droid_incinerator"
WeaponAmmo = 20
WEAPONSECTION = 3
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_strikedroid"
WeaponAmmo = 2
WeaponChannel = 1
WEAPONSECTION = 4
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo = 3
WeaponChannel = 1
VOUnitType = 121
Trying something though.
I'll try a clean.
thanks.

Typically when you get a localization error like that there's one bad character that ruined all of the localization cfgs. Best thing to do is copy everything from \BF2_Tools\data\Common\Localize to \BF2_Tools\data_[YOUR MAP]\Common\Localize then re-localize your map (for all languages) and any other things you need to re-localize.

I have it like this, yet the RIGHT gun still doesn't show up. left gun is fine, just right gun isn't.
unit odf
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "rep_inf_default"
[Properties]
UnitType = "support"
AnimatedAddon = "left_gun"
GeometryAddon = "weap_inf_dc17pistol_l" // the left pistols meshname
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_L_hand"
WEAPONSECTION = 1
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_dcpistol"
WeaponAmmo = 0
WEAPONSECTION = 2
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_strikedroid"
WeaponAmmo = 2
WeaponChannel = 1
WEAPONSECTION = 3
WeaponName = "rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator"
WeaponAmmo = 3
WeaponChannel = 1
VOUnitType = 121
For the editlocalize, when I munge my map, I don't get any mungelog errors, but the units are still not localized, which puzzles me, because I'm sure that I did everything right.
thanks

check, if you have the msh in your folder

I have the two msh files, weap_inf_dc17pistol, and weap_inf_dc17pistol_l, and the tga file.
Any ideas on the localization, I really want them to have custom Names

Easiest thing to do is what Teancum said, or if you don't want to have to go in and find where to change the map name etc you can do this:
1) rename you curret data_xxx folder to something else.
2) create a temporary new world with all the info for your real world, 3 letter name Map name etc
3) once the creation is finished go in and find the localization folder (data_xxx/Common/Localize) and copy that to your real world map overwriting existing.
4) delete the temporary map data folder
5) rename your original folder back to what it was
6) clean and remunge with localize checked, then go in game to check and see if the normal localization is there.
7) now try and do your localization changes again, word of warning too, the save process in localize can take some time, don't cancel it, it will cause problems
