Side Files Correct?
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 2:52 pm
OK, I know that I already posted an "I need help" topic, but I just scrapped that side. Completely started over, and hopefully this time I won't screw anything up.
I'm creating a unit that looks like Boba Fett and has three primary weapons:
1) Sniper Rifle (imp_weap_inf_sniper_rifle.odf)
2) Flamethrower (imp_weap_hero_flamethrower.odf)
3) Boba's Rifle (imp_weap_hero_bobarifle.odf)
And three secondary weapons:
1) Stealth (all_weap_inf_invisibility.odf)
2) Wrist Rockets (imp_weap_inf_wrist_rocket.odf)
3) Thermal Detonators (imp_weap_inf_thermaldetonator.odf)
Here are all the files from my side's odf folder:
I wasn't too sure about what msh files to bring in, so I just checked in the "imp" and "all" files for msh files bearing the same name as the odf files. Here's my side's msh folder:
I don't know whether I need all of those or not, so please let me know if I can delete some of those. I haven't modified any of the files in my odf or msh folders except imp_hero_bobafett.odf, and I also need to know if I did that one right. I'll only post the sections I changed. Here they are:
That's that. In my effects folder is only one thing, imp_sfx_jetpack.fx, and I *think* that's all I need.
In my req folder are two things, and here they are:
imp_hero_bobafett.req
die.req
I've already created my DIE folder in "data_ABC\_BUILD\Sides". But before I add my unit to the .lua script, I need to know a few things.
1) First and foremost, are all of the above files present and correct?
2) Can I leave the names of all the odf files alone, or should I change them to, for example, die_weap_inf_invisibility?
3) How about my unit? Can I change him to, say, die_inf_bobafett?
4) The Localize tool. From what I can tell, this guide was not made using the SWBF2 tool. How can I add my side and unit into the Localize tool?
If you got this far down the post, then you have my congratulations for reading all that. I really am sorry if all of this information can be found elsewhere, but if it can't, then thanks in advance. I'm really trying not to be an annoying noob...

), and then it crashed. I opened the BFront2.log, and...kaboom. There are *just a few* errors in the log.
