I have a unit I made but every time I want to add him in, he makes my map crash. Not sure what my error log means or is trying to tell me, but here it is.

I@m no expert, but check your files, it looks like some of them have been misnamed or haven't munged right.

How else would I munge it ARC? :$

None of those errors point to a problem. They're all fairly standard Severity 2 errors, and the few Severity 3 ones at the beginning have nothing to do with your mod (they're caused by Dark Times shell modifications).

I recommend removing your custom unit and then taking small steps forward as you add him back in. Make one small change at a time and stop to munge/test the map every time you have a chance. Then you can identify the part that's causing the crash.

What about these lines? Only when I try munging the unit into my map do these lines aappear

No, those aren't anything to worry about.

Tried placing the msh onto a different unit to see if I could try work my way around it, and got this Severity 3 error

rep_inf_ep3_rex.msh isn't in the side's msh folder. Make sure you put it in there, or if it's already there check the spelling in your .odf file.

So adding the msh to replace another unit works, but making it it's own unit crashes it each time! Slowly getting the hang of modding, thanks for the help JediMoose!

EDIT
Now I ran into another issue. When I try to attach the unit's kama/cloth it crashes. Not sure what that has to do with it though, any suggestions?

Double posting is against the RULES; please EDIT your post instead -Staff

Leave the kama out until we solve the first problem.

Do you have a .req file for your new unit? Is the name of the custom unit's .req file listed in the side's .req?

E.g. if the unit is called rep_inf_ep3_rex then you need a file called rep_inf_ep3_rex.req in the side's req folder, with And then enter "rep_inf_ep3_rex" somewhere under "lvl" in the main rep.req file.

Yes, that is all there. I am playing around with Rex's ODF and got rid of the kama to get him in game little by little like you said. Now who he is in game, just with no kama.

make sure this line is in your Rex odf:

GeometryName = "rep_inf_ep3_rex"
GeometryLowRes = "rep_inf_ep3trooper_low1"
FirstPerson = "REP\reptroop;rep_1st_trooper"
ClothODF = "rep_inf_Galactic_Marine_cape"

Now go into the "rep_inf_Galactic_Marine_cape" odf file.

Change this:

[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "cloth"

[Properties]
attachedmesh = "DummyRoot"
WindSpeed = 15.0
Dampening = 0.5 //Default 0.5. More Stiff 1.0, More Loose/Strechy 0.0.
Drag = -2.0 //Default -2.0

To this:

[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "cloth"

[Properties]
attachedmesh = "rep_inf_ep3_rex"
WindSpeed = 15.0
Dampening = 0.5 //Default 0.5. More Stiff 1.0, More Loose/Strechy 0.0.
Drag = -2.0 //Default -2.0

I forgot to update the cape odf I sent you, I apologize

Off topic: Jazz Master, what's the format for php syntax highlighting? I can't find any good examples.

@Jedimoose: This Is what I used combined with bold formatting. If you click "font colour" tab brings up a color palette you can choose from

Oh, for some reason I thought it was a different format when used for code highlighting. Thanks!

Edit: Never mind, I thought you had highlighted code, not a quote. I know how to do regular text colour changes, just can't figure out code highlighting.

Thank JazzMaster and JediMoose, got it to work perfectly now!
