ok so im putting hte final touches on one of my maps and i get this wierd type for crash once i add custom troops from the conversion pack which were the rebel special ops, jedi #6, the imperial commander (standard version), and imperial commando. so i add these guys and i know my lua is correct so i munge but then when i try to run the game it crashes a few seconds after the it finshes loading, im sure its the custom troops cas i can play in the unaltered cw game mode without the crash. so i looked at my BFront2.log and it says that the rebel special ops and imperial commando odfs ask for weapons that don't exist so i changed the weapons to the tried and proven republic gear and munged EVERYTHING. but then it crashes again with the same error in the log but my update should have changed that. up to that point i have been using an old lvl. file from one of my other mods for infantry cas for some reason my munge doesn't create an lvl. file for the infantry side its really annoying so here is my BFront2.log and lua can someone please tell me how to get this to work?!?!

BFront2.log
here is the lua.

can you post the rebellcommandos odf please?

Here is your problem. You are mostlikely missing these weapons in the odf folder. Most of the time it is a simple side problem like this that causes the crash. Make sure that all the appropriate weapons of the units are in the appropriate folders to avoid side problems.
And for future reference, you do not need to use the tur side. Move the tur folder into your world folder, so that way you are not wasting 30mb of hard disk space on a bunch of turrets you aren't even using.

no offence but thanks for restating the obvius i already looked through all this. i know that im missing the weapons because the conversion pack is faulty. i know however that the republic gear works so all the missing weapons i switched to republic gear however when i munge it does not create a infantry.lvl file no matter what i try so i've been using a file from one of my other mods however now that i know i gotta change that file... HOW TO I GET IT TO MUNGE?

EDIT: also im using the yavin aquaduct as a bridge but aparently an msh is missing or something cas when i put it on the map the main road shows up as just a grey block however the rest of the bridge is colored any ideas?

If you can't get them to work, that's YOUR problem. Others have gotten things to work just fine from the Convo Pack assets with minor tweaks. I had to do things that to get around limitations. So if you think the Convo Pack assets are faulty, then you (and only you) no longer have permission to use them. You're not only insulting me, but over 30 modders who have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the pack. If you can't respect that then take a hike.

for your last question you are just missing a texture that's why the road is grey.
If you have a hex viewer open the msh file and find all the tga files it is looking for, they will be in the first part of the file.

Just a heads-up, while you may have not intended to be inflammatory, what you said there was, as Tean mentioned, offensive ("no offence" nonwithstanding). Just remember that you're using assets directly from a beta product, which is by definition not-completely bugfree.

If you're really having difficulty figuring out how to make a precompiled .lvl file work for you, I would suggest downloading the assets themselves (which have been made available for download for quite a while) and constructing what you want from the raw assets. Then you don't have to worry about any sort of bugs that might be in the .lvl file and you get more control anyway.

What do you mean restating the obvious? You asked us to help you find out what was wrong with your map, I looked through it and found it was missing a weapon which obviously YOU did something NOT the conversion pack that made the map crash and obviously it was YOUR fault not Teancum's that it isn't working. Check the files from the date they were modified and look for an error. It is "obvius" that it is not in your lua so look through the sides and if you say the changes aren't showing up then try a clean. Not trying to sound like yelling here or anything, I just don't like how you blame other people's hard work for something that is your problem and then saying that they did a bad job. (Not to echoe what Tean just said.)

I am extremely sorry i did not mean to make it sound as if it was teancums fault i think the conversion pack is awsome and i know its my fault, what i ment was that i had already figured out that my weapons were a missmatch and that i also checked the conversion pack files and those weapons do not exist that is all i ment. as for the lvl. file i still am not sure how to even add the custom side i put the infantry folder in the sides, build/side, and _level_pc/sides, folders however the _level_pc folder uses lvl. files which i don't know were to get an infantry.lvl so i took one from an older mod i made (i forgot how i made it) and pasted it in the _level_pc folder but that one has the rebel/imp commando still set to use the nonexistant all_inf_rifle and imp_inf_rifle/pistol. i changed those in my infantry folder in my current mod but when i munge it does not update the old lvl file in _level_pc folder how do i make that lvl file? also once again i'm really sorry to teancum and everyone who worked on the convo pack if you want i will uninstall it.

ps. what do i have to do to fix the problem with the weapons mismatch cas i've changed the infantry folder to fit to working weapons im both the build folder and the sides folder, were is it getting the old version of the commandos?

lol this always cracks me up, its like you break your tv and take it to be fixed for free and then tell the guy doing it for free that you dont like his clothes.

never bite the hand that feeds you (even if its just info on modding an old A$$ game)
