Hm...
I've got a Problem / Question:
I want to create a Space map and want that I can play a Hero, so:
What have i to do?
Here is a part of my lua:

Code: Select all

function SetupUnits()
    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",   
        "rep_inf_ep3_pilot",
        "rep_inf_ep2_marine",
        "rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",
        "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
        "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
        "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
        "rep_inf_ep3_officer",
        "rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc",
        "rep_fly_arc170fighter_sc",        
        "rep_fly_gunship_sc",
        "rep_fly_vwing",
        "rep_hero_oddball",
        "rep_veh_remote_terminal")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
        "cis_inf_pilot",
        "cis_inf_marine",
        "cis_inf_rifleman",
        "cis_inf_rocketeer",
        "cis_inf_sniper",
        "cis_inf_engineer",
        "cis_inf_officer",
        "cis_fly_droidfighter_sc",  
        "cis_fly_droidgunship",
        "cis_fly_greviousfighter",
        "cis_fly_tridroidfighter",
        "cis_hero_zam")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\tur.lvl",
        "tur_bldg_spa_cis_beam",
        "tur_bldg_spa_cis_chaingun",
        "tur_bldg_spa_rep_beam",
        "tur_bldg_spa_rep_chaingun",
        "tur_bldg_chaingun_roof"
    )
end

myTeamConfig = {
    rep = {
        team = REP,
        units = 32,
        reinforcements = -1,
        pilot    = { "rep_inf_pilot",26},
        marine   = { "rep_inf_ep2_marine",26},
        soldier  = { "rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",10, 25},
        assault  = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1,4},
        engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1,4},
        sniper   = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1,4},
        officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1,4},
    },
    cis = {
        team = CIS,
        units = 32,
        reinforcements = -1,
        pilot    = { "cis_inf_pilot",26},
        marine  = { "cis_inf_marine",26},
        soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman",10, 25},
        assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1,4},
        engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",1,4},
        sniper   = { "cis_inf_sniper",1,4},
        officer = {"cis_inf_officer",1,4},

    }

}
    SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_oddball")
    SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_zam")

I hope somebody can help me =/

ps.: The Units are working i tested them already as a normal unit

What kind of problem are you experiencing? This doesn't really give me even so much as a clue as to what the problem is.

Btw your max units for all classes should add up to exactly the value you put in for "Units =". I can't remember if this causes any major malfunctions, but those max values of 26 and such won't do much good when the team is limited to 32 units total.

Problem:
The Message "Play now as "Commander Oddball". Press F1 ..." dont appears!
I dont know why =/
Is there any other thing i have to write into the lua or some other files?

I think I figured it out. After a little reading, I found this:

EnableSPHeroRules()

^You need that in your lua. Read the Lua Guide documentation to see where it goes.

Yeah!!! Thanks I will test it in a few minutes... Thanks man!

ok i tested it but it still dont works... is there maybe another thing i have to put into my .lua?

You did tell it to munge the Common folder (via the checkbox) when you munged, right?

If so, what do your error logs say?

Aman/Pinguin · Post by **Aman/Pinguin** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 1:15 pm

Yes i munged the common folder, in the MungeLog is no error about my lua or another thing with the heros =/

MercuryNoodles · Post by **MercuryNoodles** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 3:43 am

There is one other thing you could try. Well, two actually. Try cleaning and remunging. If that doesn't help, you could try doing a manual clean, and remunging everything.

Well, the main munge log only gives so much information. It might be a good idea to check the one the bf2_modtools.exe spits out, and I'm also interested in what the logs say in _Build/Worlds/***.

Let's try cleaning, first, though. If the that doesn't help, then we should check those error logs.

I cant use the BF2_modtools.exe because i've got the german DVD version...
I already cleaned and remunged =/ i manual remunged and cleaned it too... well if heros in spacemaps dont work i will put them as a normal unit ^^

In that case, perhaps checking the error logs in the _Build folder will shed some light on the situation. I don't think there's any reason for a hero to not work in space, so I feel there's something still missing/incorrect.
