2nd R2 droid not appearing in custom side [solved]

Post by ukrai »

hi, tearing my hair out with this one.

i have 2 custom sides that i use successfully but now im trying to create a 2nd playable R2 droid with a seperate skin.

so ive made a copy of the 'all_droid_r2d2.odf' and called it 'all_droid_r2d3.odf', in there i did the following:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "com_inf_default"
ClassLabel = "droid"
GeometryName = "all_droid_r2d3.msh"

[Properties]
Label = "R2D3"

GeometryName = "all_droid_r2d3"
ExplosionName = "all_droid_R2D3_exp"
i then copied the tga file, made some changes and renamed to 'grndr2d3.tga' and made a copy of the msh, the msh.option and tga.option files. With a hex editor i changed the all_droid_r2d3.msh file to use the new tga file name.

after that i edited my mod lua as follows:

end
i then munged everything but when loading into the game and opening the side, it has skipped the new class slot for the R2D3, the slot has disappeared.

what am i doing wrong?!?!

Run the BF2_modtools.exe in the gamedata folder and play the map, then in the same folder it is in there will be a file called BFront2.txt. Post the contents here. Note: this is not the PC_MungeLog.txt which is the the modtools _BUILD folder.

if i had a quarter every time I posted that..
