Ok, So I wanted to get the Star Viper released here: forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=27319
In my Game. I want to replace the Stock TIE Fighter with it.

I went to the ZeroEditor, via 3d Analyse, and accessed the spawn point where the tie fighter comes from. I changed the text assigned to this to all_fly_starviper which is the name of the Star Viper.

I edited the LUA to reflect this:

end

I munged the files, and added the .lvl provided in the released assets folder to the addon located here:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\STR\data\_LVL_PC\SIDE

As far as I know, that should be all I have to do to get the star Viper ingame.

Now I clearly missed a step out, cause when I run the Map, nothing has changed. I still have the TIE Fighter, and no Star Viper.

What have I done wrong?

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:34 pm**

are you sure you saved after youve changed the spawnname? because if it would have been changed and something else went wrong neither the starviper nor the tiefighter would be there anymore.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:39 pm**

Thats what I thought. But even when I look there, the change is still there now. It says all_fly_starviper.

EDIT
However, I have noticed that On this space map, the base (The original thing that is muinged) seems to have both the All and the IMP ships placed in the: ClassAllAtk: Section, wether they are Imperial or not...

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

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:13 pm**

if the empire is team 1, the ClassImpAtk will change what spawns for the empire, ClassAllDef will change the rebels. If the Empire is team 2, ClassImpDef will change the empire's ships and ClassAllAtk will change the rebels ships. You might need to page down to see all the settings.

Posted: **Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:26 am**

So why are does the stock map put them both in ClassAllAtk?

EDIT:
Ok, Solved, I fixed the Problem.

now for the Tricky Bit.

I downloaded the Starvipers ODF that was released with it. I want to make two Duplicate Star Vipers, with the Weapons and Capablilites of the Bomber and the Interceptor.

I have the ODFs, but When half the data is taken from the other .lvl, where do I get place them, and call them from in the lua?

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:39 am**

you have to create a custom side and include the starviper as a vehicle. in the lua, load the starviper from the compiled lvl file first and then the starviper from your custom side.

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:25 am**

It Works! Consider it solved.

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2011 12:41 pm**

Posted: **Sat Dec 10, 2011 3:39 pm**

I am not stirley sure, but as far as I can disern, as long as the Data exists "Somewhere" regardless of what side .lvl it is in, the game compliles it, and allows the starviper to function.

Does that make sense?
