Firstperson arms not working [Solved]

mrcluster · Post by **mrcluster** » Sat Sep 03, 2016 5:11 pm

Okay, so I'm creating a custom side, and I want to use the firstperson arms used by Clone Troopers for my side.

Here's what I've done:

Hidden/Spoiler:

- Put the clonetrooper 1st person arms (the model name is "rep_1st_trooper") in my side's "msh" directory

- Created a .req file called "shkrfmn.req" in a folder called "fpm" in my side's "req" directory (The code in it is:

[code]ucft

{    

	REQN

	{

		"model"

		"rep_1st_trooper"

	}

}[/code]

- Referenced the "shkrfmn" req file and the "rep_1st_trooper" model in my side's class, with the following code (whole code pasted just so you know I did it right):

[code][GameObjectClass]

ClassParent         = "shk_inf_default_rifleman"

[Properties]

GeometryName        = "rep_inf_ep3trooper"

GeometryLowRes      = "rep_inf_ep3trooper_low1"

FirstPerson         = "SHK\shkrfmn;rep_1st_trooper"

[/code]

Yet, however, in-game, when I go into firstperson as my class, I have no hands. What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Skip that part and just add the code to your side req file.

i know i am very slow lol, but its very confuse i read every post and they arent exactly, it this right?:

FirstPerson = "SIDE(like customcis, customrep Confederacy ..)\UNIT's req file (like cis_inf_droidcommando);model(cis_1st_BX-commando)"

Confederacy.req file:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "lvl"
        "cis_inf_droidcommando"
    }
}

cis_inf_droidcommando.req file:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "class"
        "cis_inf_droidcommando"
    }
    REQN
    {
	"model"
	"cis_1st_BX-commando"
    }
}

and log error:

Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Platform\PC\pcFirstPerson.cpp(69)
FirstPerson::LoadLVLFile: Could not open FPM\Confederacy\cis_inf_droidcommando.lvl

Well, which way are you trying to do it?

If you go by Aman/Pinguin's instructions then you have to move the munged lvl file to the game's fpm folder which is not practical.
If you go by psych0fred's instructions then you don't have to move any lvl files, so you would put this:

Code: Select all

    REQN
    {
	    "model"
	    "cis_1st_BX-commando"
    }

into your Confederacy.req file, so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
    REQN
    {
        "lvl"
        "cis_inf_droidcommando"
    }
    REQN
    {
	    "model"
	    "cis_1st_BX-commando"
    }
}

and in the unit's ODF:

Code: Select all

FirstPerson  = "[SIDE lvl name]\[SIDE req file name];[first person msh file]"

So I guess yours would look like this:

Code: Select all

FirstPerson  = "Confederacy\Confederacy;cis_1st_BX-commando"

and that's it!
