So, I have my modded map and I have edited the .odf of the unit whose weapon I want to change (ie the file in the assets\side.......) but i cant for the life of me figure out how to get this weapon change into my map.

Any help would be appeciated.

Thanks

Rule number 1: Never edit the assets.

Copy it elsewere, then edit it.

There is a tut for a custom side which is what you need.

ahh, sorry i wasnt very clear with the first post. I did copy the file I wanted and edited it in a different place its the step after I am confused about. Basically I am trying to change the imperial scout trooper so that he carries a blaster instead of a sniper rifle in my map. I copied and edited the inf_imp_default_sniper but I dont know where to put it. Any ideas??

Thanks

if you're just trying to switch out a weapon, all you need to do is copy the imp side from the assets to your side folder, open up the sniper odf with notepad or word, and switch out the sniperrifle for "rep_inf_weap_rifle"

Read this just follow the instructions on editing a shipped side. This is a tut on how to edit a shipped skin but edit the odf instead of the skin.

Be sure to also copy the common folder from the assets into your side folder.

thanks for the replies, finally got it working.
